Recently, Xiamen Oqtsupplies Co., Ltd. successfully provided a customized molecular distillation system to the Danish National Food Institute, supporting its research and development of plant protein separation processes. The system accurately addresses the removal of anti-nutritional factors and off-flavors from soy protein, winning high recognition from the client.
As an authoritative scientific research institution in the food sector, the Danish National Food Institute focuses on breakthroughs in deep processing technology of plant proteins. It urgently needed high-efficiency separation equipment to eliminate anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors in soy protein, as well as aldehydes, ketones and sulfur-containing off-flavors generated by fat oxidation. After extensive research and comparison, it finally selected our molecular distillation system.
Based on the advantage of high-vacuum and low-temperature operation, the system achieves precise separation by virtue of the difference in molecular free path, avoiding the denaturation of heat-sensitive components in soy protein. While removing anti-nutritional factors and off-flavors, it maximizes the retention of protein activity and nutritional value. Adopting a wiped-film structure, the equipment features a thin liquid film, efficient heat transfer, short material residence time, and significantly higher separation efficiency than traditional equipment.
At present, the equipment has been operating stably for several months, with a removal rate meeting high industry standards, greatly improving the reliability of the institute’s experimental data. The client feedback that the system is easy to operate and stable in performance, providing core support for the optimization of plant protein processes. It expressed great satisfaction with the cooperation results and subsequent technical services, laying a foundation for in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the future. Xiamen Oqtsupplies will continue to deepen separation technology and provide high-quality equipment solutions for scientific research institutions worldwide.
