Ingredient specifications
Full technical data for every protein fraction we produce. Each specification includes purity measurements, functional properties, and handling documentation.
beta-Casein (Opalia BC-1)
Our primary commercial ingredient. BC-1 is a native-conformation beta-Casein fraction produced by bovine mammary epithelial cells in our 200L pilot bioreactor. The protein retains its natural phosphorylation pattern and maintains micellar self-assembly under food-processing conditions.
BC-1 performs comparably to conventional bovine casein in acid-gel applications, heat-treated dairy analogs, and high-protein RTD beverages. Full documentation is provided with every sample order.
Whey protein fractions
alpha-Lactalbumin and beta-Lactoglobulin are co-expressed in development batches, targeting food-grade output in Q3 2026. These fractions extend our platform into foam-stable and gel-forming whey protein applications.
alpha-Lactalbumin
Provides foam stability and contributes to the heat-induced gel network in dairy-analog applications. Target purity target: 90% min. (RP-HPLC).
beta-Lactoglobulin
Primary whey gel-forming protein. Critical for RTD beverage protein fortification and cold-process dairy-analog systems. Co-expressed with alpha-Lactalbumin.
Native whey concentrate
Whole whey protein fraction containing both alpha-Lac and beta-Lac at native ratios. Suited for applications requiring the full complement of whey gelation behavior.
Custom protein fractions
Our AI-controlled bioprocess can shift secretion ratios toward a target fraction by adjusting media composition and culture conditions. This means we can develop application-specific protein blends for partners with defined functional requirements.
The custom development process begins with a technical consultation to define your target functionality profile: texture, solubility, heat stability, gelation behavior, or other parameters. We then design a series of pilot batches to converge on a cell-culture protocol that delivers your specification.
Custom development agreements are available to partners who complete our early-access program. Contact our formulation team to discuss your application.
