Development of a Plant-Based Formula with High Protein Content, Authentic Grape Flavor, and Stable Color

1. Customer Pain Point Analysis (The Challenge)
Why is it difficult to achieve a 'palatable grape flavor' in common plant proteins?
In the development of plant-based protein products, customers frequently encounter the following key challenges:
severe taste conflict
Pea protein and soy protein inherently carry a distinct bean odor, which is naturally incompatible with grape flavors, often resulting in an overpowering artificial flavor that compromises the overall taste.
The color is unstable.
Natural grape pigments are prone to fading or turning gray in protein systems, which affects the visual appeal of the product.
Insufficient solubility
The high-protein formula tends to form lumps and adhere to the wall when mixed with cold water, which negatively impacts consumer experience.
rough texture
The protein particles exhibit a distinct granular texture, lacking the 'smoothness of whey'.

2. Our Technology
To address the aforementioned challenges, we have developed a specialized solution for plant-based protein beverages:
Custom Grape Plant Protein System
Core technologies include:

① Bitterness masking
Through natural polysaccharides and flavor modulation technology, effectively neutralizes:
Pea protein astringency
Soybean protein has a fishy odor.
It significantly enhances the authentic fruit drink flavor without adding sweetness.

② Color Stabilization
The composite natural purple system was adopted:
Purple Sweet Potato Concentrated Powder
Blueberry extract
antioxidant buffer system
Ensure in a high-protein environment:
Not turning gray
non-fading
Maintain a "bright grape purple" color for an extended period.

③ Structural optimization of high-solubility protein
Controlled by protein particle size + encapsulated with sunflower lecithin:
Cold water can be used for direct preparation
Completely dispersed within 30 seconds
No precipitation, no oil film

④ Plant Whey Texture Simulation Technology
Through multi-protein ratio optimization:
Pea protein (smooth main body)
Milk Protein (Light Texture)

Soybean protein (structural support)
Achieving levels comparable to animal whey:
smoothness
satiety
Drinking experience
