Enzymatic Hydrolyzed Plant Protein Liquid

1.Product Origin: This product is derived primarily from high-quality plant proteins such as corn gluten meal and soybean meal. It is obtained through raw material pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and low-temperature concentration, resulting in an enzymatically hydrolyzed corn protein liquid.

2.Product Characteristics: A brown liquid. Contains 18 types of amino acids, including glutamic acid, leucine, and aspartic acid, along with small molecular peptides (2–20 amino acid residues). The umami amino acids constitute the highest proportion (approximately 26.9%). The product exhibits stable solubility within a pH range of 3.0–7.0, resists precipitation, retains natural amino acid aroma, and contains no 3-chloropropanol. Suitable for storage at room temperature.

3.Main Technical Specifications:

Amino nitrogen > 1.4 g/100g

Total nitrogen > 2.0 g/100g

Sodium chloride ≤ 5.0 g/100g

4.Key Features and Advantages

Compared to traditional acid hydrolysis processes, enzymatic hydrolysis offers significant advantages:

• Safer and healthier: Enzymatic hydrolysis does not produce potentially harmful substances such as chloropropanols, which are a major drawback of conventional acid hydrolysis.

• Better nutrient retention: This method maximizes the preservation of amino acids and flavor compounds in raw materials, with hydrolyzed products containing abundant small-molecule peptides that contribute to taste.

• Enhanced flavor: The product delivers a rich, savory taste, effectively enhancing umami and depth in food, while also providing aroma enhancement and masking off-flavors.

5.Applications

As a multifunctional food additive, enzyme-hydrolyzed plant protein liquid has broad applications:

• Food seasoning: Commonly used in producing premium seasonings, soy sauce, pickled vegetables, instant foods, and puffed snacks.

• Nutritional fortification: Rich in various essential amino acids, it serves as a nutritional enhancer in the production of dietary supplements and functional beverages.

• Flavoring ingredient: Can also be used as a raw material for meat flavorings.
