Protein Factory Sonic Protein

Sonic Protein, as a casein hydrolysate, is a highly nutritious protein containing all essential amino acids in the correct ration for human health. Sonic Protein is an easily absorbed protein hydrolysate, which has been treated with proprietary enzymes to cut the protein into di-peptides and tri-peptides, while the well balanced amino acid profile of casein is left intact. Sonic Protein eliminates many of the technical problems and physiological side effects held by proteins, protein hydrolysates, and amino acids, while providing all of the advantages provided by these products.

How is Sonic Protein Manufactured?

Starting from milk, the milk fat is removed and the casein is separated by acidifying and filtering from the skimmed milk. Casein is dissolved in water, alkalized and then first hydrolyzed with an endoproteasic enzyme. This produces the typical, but extremely bitter casein hydrolysate with which we are currently familiar. In a second unique hydrolysation step, detailed below, a proprietary enzyme (patent pending), specifically hydrolyses the bitter peptides. In this second step, the Sonic Protein casein hydrolysate with its special characteristics is produced.

Reduced Bitterness of Sonic Protein

Casein contains a high level of proline. Proline bonds cannot be accurately or effectively cleaved with enzymes currently found on the market. Hydrolysation of casein with normal enzymes forms proline rich peptides (5-10 amino acids) which cannot be further hydrolyzed as no existing commercial enzyme can cleave these proline bonds. Hydrolysation of caseinates with normal enzymes therefore leads to an extremely bitter casein hydrolysate containing many long, proline rich, bitter peptides (green line in HPLC Graph, middle). The bitterness of these Proline rich Peptides is due to the nature of the protein where the Proline is located in the middle of the peptide chain. In the second hydrolysation step, the debittering enzyme specifically hydrolyses the bitter proline rich peptides (blue line, bottom). In this second step the Sonic Protein casein hydrolysate with its special characteristics is produced.

Ultra filtration removes any residual enzyme, and the hydrolysate is then mildly evaporated, dried and packed. During development, the bitterness of hydrolysates was conducted utilizing 6 professional tasters who were specialized on bitterness. All six said in a double blind procedure that the hydrolysate casein found in Sonic Protein tasted far less bitter after the second hydrolysation.
