Resolve issues of not dissolving and clumping in advance. Test the dispersibility of the protein.
The quality of protein products is greatly influenced by their dispersion state. In particular, powdered protein often faces challenges such as clumping during dissolution in water or solvents, uneven dispersion, and poor mouthfeel. Additionally, changes in formulation or raw materials can alter viscosity and dispersibility, leading to cases where there are no issues during prototyping but quality becomes unstable during mass production. This service conducts dispersion tests tailored to raw material characteristics and formulation conditions, verifying the suppression of clumping, improvement of dispersibility, and enhancement of mouthfeel. Furthermore, through process design aimed at scaling up from the lab to small machines and mass production equipment, we establish reproducible manufacturing conditions. We can support evaluations from the prototyping stage to pre-mass production verification.
