Food Proteins for Nutrition, Formulation & Functional Foods
Discover ASES's premium range of high-purity food proteins, ideal for nutritional supplements, functional foods, and beverage formulations. Each protein ingredient is carefully sourced and tested to meet the highest standards of quality, purity, and functionality - ensuring superior performance in every application.
Our food-grade proteins include whey concentrates, collagen peptides, soy isolates, casein hydrolysates, and more - designed to deliver optimal texture, nutrition, and taste in your formulations.
What Are Food Proteins?
Food proteins are natural macronutrients derived from plant or animal sources. They provide essential amino acids required for muscle repair, tissue building, and enzyme function. In the food industry, proteins are used not only for nutritional value but also for their functional properties - such as emulsification, water binding, and foaming capacity - which enhance the texture and stability of foods and beverages.
Key Benefits of Food Proteins:
- Improves nutritional density of formulations
- Enhances texture, creaminess, and mouthfeel
- Supports health claims in dietary supplements
- Offers high digestibility and bioavailability
- Available in multiple purities (70-95%) for diverse needs

How to Choose the Right Food Protein
When selecting a food protein, consider:
- Purity (% Protein): Determines nutritional concentration
- Source (Plant/Animal): Influences amino acid profile and labeling claims
- Solubility: Affects processing and mouthfeel
- Digestibility / PDCAAS Score: Reflects protein quality
- Application Compatibility: Each protein behaves differently under heat, pH, and processing conditions
At ASES, we provide technical data sheets and COAs for every product to help you make informed choices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between protein isolate, concentrate, and hydrolysate?
A: Concentrates contain around 70-80% protein and retain more non-protein compounds. Isolates exceed 90% protein, offering high purity and solubility. Hydrolysates are pre-digested into smaller peptides for faster absorption and easier digestion.
Q2: How do I know which food protein suits my application?
A: Match the protein type to your target formulation - for example, whey or soy isolates for nutritional drinks, collagen peptides for beauty supplements, and casein hydrolysates for infant formulas or sports nutrition.
Q3: Are ASES proteins food-grade certified?
A: Yes, all ASES food proteins are food-grade certified, sourced from trusted manufacturers, and tested for purity, solubility, and microbiological safety.
Q4: What purity levels are available?
A: Our food proteins range from 70% to 95% purity, with options suitable for both bulk industrial and retail requirements.
Q5: How should food proteins be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain shelf life and prevent moisture absorption.
