Product Info
What is Oyster Peptide?
Oyster Peptide is a mixture of small, highly bioavailable protein fragments derived from oyster meat through enzymatic processing, primarily used as a functional dietary supplement to support vitality, liver function, and overall physical performance.
How is Oyster Peptide made?
| Step No. | Production Stage | Key Action | Control Point & Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Material Receiving | Receive and inspect fresh or frozen oysters. | Control Point: Supplier qualification, oyster freshness (sensory evaluation), heavy metal & microbial reports. Note: Oysters must be sourced from certified clean, unpolluted marine environments to avoid contamination. |
| 2 | Pre-treatment & Cleaning | Thoroughly wash and scrub oyster shells to remove mud, sand, and bio-attachments. | Control Point: Water quality, washing pressure, and duration. Visual inspection for cleanliness. Note: Incomplete cleaning can introduce impurities and off-flavors into the final product. |
| 3 | Shucking & Meat Collection | Open the oyster shells and carefully separate the oyster meat from the shell. | Control Point: Temperature control (keep meat chilled), hygiene of tools and handlers, speed of operation. Note: This process must be done quickly in a sanitary, low-temperature environment to prevent microbial growth. |
| 4 | Homogenization / Pulping | Grind the collected oyster meat with purified water into a fine, uniform slurry. | Control Point: Water-to-meat ratio, slurry temperature, particle size consistency. Note: A uniform slurry ensures maximum surface area for efficient enzyme action in the next step. |
| 5 | Enzymatic Hydrolysis | Add specific food-grade enzymes (e.g., protease) to the slurry under controlled conditions to break down proteins into small peptides. | Control Point: Enzyme type & dosage, reaction temperature, pH, and hydrolysis time. Note: This is the most critical step, as these parameters directly define the peptide's molecular weight, bioactivity, and taste profile. |
| 6 | Enzyme Inactivation | Rapidly heat the slurry to a high temperature (e.g., 90-95°C) for a specific time to stop the enzymatic reaction. | Control Point: Heating temperature and holding time. Note: This step is crucial to halt the hydrolysis process at the desired point and ensure product stability. |
| 7 | Filtration & Separation | Filter the hydrolysate through multiple stages (e.g., centrifugation, microfiltration) to remove insoluble solids, fat, and undigested materials. | Control Point: Centrifuge speed, filter mesh size, clarity and purity of the resulting liquid. Note: Effective separation leads to a clearer, purer peptide solution with improved taste and solubility. |
| 8 | Concentration | Remove excess water from the peptide solution, typically using low-temperature vacuum evaporation. | Control Point: Vacuum level and temperature. Note: Low-temperature concentration is vital to preserve the delicate structure and bioactivity of the peptides and prevent heat damage. |
| 9 | Spray Drying | Atomize the concentrated peptide liquid into a hot air stream, instantly evaporating the remaining water to form a fine powder. | Control Point: Inlet/outlet air temperature, feed rate, atomization pressure. Note: These parameters determine the powder's final moisture content, particle size, and solubility. |
| 10 | Sieving & Packaging | Sieve the finished peptide powder to ensure uniform particle size and pack it into sealed, moisture-proof containers. | Control Point: Sieve mesh size, package integrity, weight accuracy, packing room humidity. Note: The final powder is hygroscopic and must be packed immediately in airtight, food-grade packaging to maintain quality. |

Applications & Usage
Common Applications:
Dietary supplements
functional foods
cosmetics
Mechanism of action:
| Parameter | Oyster Peptide |
|---|---|
| Functional Category | Bioactive Peptide; Nutritional Fortifier; Flavor Enhancer |
| Key Ingredients | Hydrolyzed Oyster Protein (Low Molecular Weight Peptides); Free Amino Acids (e.g., Taurine); Minerals (e.g., Zinc, Selenium) |
| Mechanism of Action | Provides highly bioavailable di- and tripeptides that are readily absorbed. Specific peptide sequences scavenge reactive oxygen species (antioxidant effect) and can inhibit key enzymes. Contains natural flavor compounds like glutamic acid to impart umami. Delivers essential trace minerals like zinc, which acts as a cofactor in numerous enzymatic reactions. |
| Application Effect in Product | Enhances nutritional profile with bioavailable protein and high levels of zinc. Imparts a rich umami and savory flavor complexity, allowing for reduction of MSG. Used in functional foods and supplements for its physiological benefits. Can improve product stability by mitigating lipid oxidation due to its antioxidant capacity. |
Comparison:
| Product Name | Category/Type | Key Features | Strengths (vs peers) | Weaknesses (vs peers) | Best Use Cases | Why Choose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oyster Peptide | Marine Bioactive Peptide | High concentration of zinc, taurine, glycogen, and essential amino acids. | Natural, bioavailable source of zinc and taurine; provides a broad spectrum of marine micronutrients. Traditionally used for vitality and liver support. | Not suitable for individuals with shellfish allergies. Potential for heavy metal contamination depending on the source. | Supporting male reproductive health, enhancing energy and stamina, and providing nutritional support for liver function. | For a whole-food based nutritional approach to vitality, particularly valuing the synergistic effects of zinc, taurine, and marine nutrients. |
| Sea Cucumber Peptide | Marine Bioactive Peptide | Rich in collagen, saponins (triterpene glycosides), and unique peptides. | Strong focus on anti-inflammatory, immune support, and joint health benefits, in addition to anti-fatigue properties. | Less known and researched for direct libido or testosterone benefits compared to Oyster Peptide or Tongkat Ali. Often more expensive. | Supporting joint mobility, boosting the immune system, and aiding recovery from physical exhaustion. | When the primary goal is joint health, immunity, and general recovery, rather than specific reproductive benefits. |
| Maca Root Extract | Herbal Adaptogen | Contains unique alkaloids like macaenes and macamides. Rich in minerals and amino acids. | Well-researched for boosting libido in both men and women without directly altering sex hormones. Plant-based and widely available. | Lacks the high zinc and taurine content of oysters. Effects are more focused on energy and libido than broad nutritional support. | Increasing energy levels, enhancing libido and sexual function, and supporting hormonal balance, especially in women. | For a non-allergenic, plant-based option specifically targeting energy and libido through adaptogenic pathways. |
| Tongkat Ali Extract | Herbal Supplement | Standardized for its active compound, eurycomanone. Works by supporting free testosterone levels. | Potent and well-researched for raising free testosterone, reducing cortisol, and improving male fertility metrics. | Has a direct hormonal action which may not be suitable for everyone. Not a source of broad micronutrients. Some users report overstimulation or insomnia. | Specifically for supporting healthy testosterone levels, improving body composition, and enhancing male athletic performance and drive. | For a targeted, powerful herbal intervention to directly support testosterone production and its associated benefits. |
| Ginseng Extract (Panax) | Herbal Adaptogen | Active compounds are ginsenosides. Known for its stimulating and stress-reducing properties. | Extensive history and scientific backing for improving mental focus, fighting fatigue, and enhancing physical stamina. A powerful general adaptogen. | Effects on libido are secondary to its energy-boosting and anti-stress properties. Less specific for reproductive health than peers. | Combating mental and physical fatigue, improving cognitive function, and increasing overall resilience to stress. | For a holistic approach to boosting energy, managing stress, and improving endurance, with general wellness as the primary goal. |
