Stability for Functional Formulations
The Challenge:
Stability & Metabolism
Formulating for the wellness market involves navigating two distinct battlegrounds:
Liquid Stability and Metabolic Impact .
Innovation teams face persistent technical hurdles: proteins that precipitate in acidic beverages, sweeteners that degrade in shelf-stable formats, and the difficulty of achieving "clean label" status without compromising on performance. Furthermore, the active consumer demands high-quality protein (PDCAAS 1.0) without the digestive burden of lactose or the glycemic spikes associated with traditional carbohydrates.
True progress requires ingredients that are not only nutritionally superior but physically robust enough to survive functional processing.
The Solution:
Bio-Engineered Stability
We license the Fooditive Engine™
to produce ingredients designed specifically for metabolic health and rigorous liquid processing.

Non-Animal Casein:
The Complete Protein We provide a fermentation-derived casein that delivers the nutritional profile of dairy with the purity of a biopharma ingredient.
Clean Profile
Unlike many plant isolates, our casein offers a neutral, mild dairy flavor free from vegetal off-notes, eliminating the need for complex masking systems.
Protein Quality
Delivers a PDCAAS of 1.0 , offering a complete amino acid profile superior to plant proteins for muscle synthesis applications.
Thermal & Acid
Stability
Designed to remain stable and functional through high-heat processing steps (UHT and Retort), preventing the sedimentation often seen in high-protein shakes.
Digestive Comfort
Molecularly identical to milk protein but produced via fermentation, ensuring it is Lactose-Free and Cholesterol-Free.
Clean Profile
Unlike many plant isolates, our casein offers a neutral, mild dairy flavor free from vegetal off-notes, eliminating the need for complex masking systems.
Keto-Fructose (Ketose):
The Metabolic Advantage A bulk sweetener engineered for stability and low metabolic load.
Acid Stability
Remains chemically stable in aqueous solutions across pH 3.0–9.0 , making it uniquely suitable for acidic sports drinks and carbonated functional beverages where other sweeteners fail.
Low Bioavailability
Validated PBPK modeling predicts negligible oral bioavailability (~2.1%), meaning the ingredient provides energy without the significant systemic metabolic impact of fructose or sucrose.
Caloric Efficiency
Assigned a caloric value of 1.5 kcal/g , supporting deep calorie reduction in performance formulations.

THE SOLUTION:
BIO-IDENTICAL FUNCTIONALITY
At Fooditive, we license a precision fermentation platform that produces Non-Animal Casein , a protein functionally and nutritionally identical to bovine milk.
Micelle Architecture
Our proprietary downstream assembly mimics the native micelle structure found in milk, which is the critical mechanism for delivering authentic stretch in mozzarella analogues and body in yogurts.
Thermal Stability
The ingredient remains functional through high-heat processing steps like UHT and retort, ensuring stability in shelf-stable nutritional beverages.

VALIDATION: THE JOINT PILOT PROGRAM
We do not believe in generic sampling. To ensure success, we engage in a Sample & Pilot Access Program .
Step 1
Define the technical challenge (eg, "Improve melt in vegan pizza cheese").
Step 2
We design a paid or co-funded pilot trial using NaCasein, targeting inclusion rates of 8–18% for cheese analogues or 2–10% for plant-based milks.
Step 3
Our technical team supports your formulation work until the concept is validated.
