Protein Manufacturing (Plant & Dairy)

Precision protein blend manufacturing across pea, rice, whey, and casein matrices for sports and wellness brands.

MNL's protein blending lines handle both dairy-derived and plant-based protein systems. We specialize in optimized amino acid profiles, solubility-enhancing instantization, and custom flavor integration across whey concentrate, whey isolate, casein, pea protein, brown rice protein, and mixed plant protein matrices. Nitrogen content (Kjeldahl/Dumas) and BCAA profile by HPLC are standard test parameters for all protein batches.

Quality Assurance & Verification Protocol

Every protein manufacturing (plant & dairy) batch passes through a four-phase analytical verification workflow before Certificate of Analysis issuance and release.

01

Protein Source Identity & Purity

Incoming protein raw materials verified by COA, nitrogen content, and amino acid profile. Adulteration screening (melamine, non-protein nitrogen sources) included for all dairy proteins.

COA verification from qualified supplierNitrogen content (Kjeldahl/Dumas)Amino acid profile (HPLC)Melamine screen (LC-MS/MS for dairy sources)Heavy metals (ICP-MS)
02

Blend Uniformity & Flavor Homogeneity

10-location blend uniformity sampling post-blending. Flavor and sweetener homogeneity confirmed by sensory and analytical methods.

03

Finished Protein Batch QC

Label protein content claim verified against analytical results. Microbial limits and heavy metals tested on finished batch before release.

04

COA Release

QA Director signs off on complete batch record and analytical results. COA includes protein assay value, amino acid panel, and microbial clearance.

Certificate of Analysis (COA) — Issued Per Batch

Every commercial batch receives a QA Director–signed Certificate of Analysis on MNL letterhead. The COA documents all test parameters, analytical methods, results versus specification, and full lot traceability to raw material COAs. No batch ships without COA authorization.
