Quality Control

Our Protein Hydrolyzates, Wheat Germ are produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for composition, purity, and safety, relevant for target applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as peptide profile, amino acid content, and microbiological purity are available upon request. Production can adhere to cGMP guidelines where specified.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and caking.
