Sustainability efforts are required to sustain the global environment, economic activities, and people's lives.
Api Co., Ltd. has started a new business by making use of its experience and resources in ODM and OEM of supplements.
By using a clean manufacturing method that does not use any chemicals, we process materials such as grains and beans and add new functions to them.
Produces effective ingredients for PBF (plant-based food) and clean labels.
In addition to health functionality such as reduced salt, reduced sweeteners, and food allergies,
Contributes to functionality for food processability, upcycling and reduction of food loss.

Special material processing line

After adding water without using any additives or chemicals, polymer ingredients such as starch,
The high-order structure is loosened by high heat, pressure, and shearing force, and instantly powdered.

  what you can do 

・ Change of taste, improvement of flavor

・ Additive reduction and substitution effect

➡ Appropriate thickening, emulsification, and gelation

・ Easily degradable

➡ Improving the digestibility and absorption of ingredients,

Reduction of enzymatic reaction time

・ Increased water retention and hydrophilicity

➡ Easy-to-process raw material with improved solubility and dispersibility

Shortening the manufacturing process of food processing

・ Pregelatinized powder → Shortening of oxygen reaction time

・ Deodorizing and reducing the number of bacteria

・ Upcycle

  Usage example

Various grains and cereals

Barley (barley, oats)

Legumes (soybeans, peas, adzuki beans, chickpeas)

Okara, rice bran, konnyaku, etc.

 

Labeling on the final product shall be based on the food ingredients

Examples: Oat flour, rice flour, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

The starch component is converted to gelatin while maintaining the nutritional content of the ingredients. An epoch-making powder in which the overall molecular structure is loosened, making it easier for enzymes to access the interior of the molecule and saccharification progressing in a short time.

Saccharification liquid production line

Starch is saccharified using enzymes. Liquefy grains, adjust particle size,
Liquid raw material production line for sterilization, etc.
Combined with special material processing, it is possible to manufacture various vegetable milks (saccharified liquids)

  what you can do 

・Saccharification of raw materials, decomposition, filtration, purification, sterilization, etc.

・Sweetness adjustment

➡ You can adjust the sweetness to your liking with the type of enzyme

・Filtration adjustment

➡ The mesh size can be changed according to the application.

 

 

  Usage example

Cereals (rice, cereals)

Barley (barley, glutinous barley, oats)

Legumes (soybeans, peas, adzuki beans, chickpeas)

Potatoes (potatoes, sweet potatoes)

 

Such

 

Strainer, UHT sterilizer, aseptic filling machine
Easy bacteria count management in combination with special material processing!
