Whey Protein Isolate Powder
Whey protein isolate is a highly purified form of whey protein extracted from milk, containing at least 90% protein by weight after removal of fats, lactose, and other non-protein components. It falls under HTS 3504.00.10.00 as a protein isolate, nesoi, derived from dairy sources and used primarily as a dietary supplement. This classification applies to isolates prepared through processes like microfiltration or ion exchange.
Soy Protein Isolate
Soy protein isolate is produced by extracting protein from soybeans through alkaline extraction and acid precipitation, yielding a product with over 90% protein content and minimal soy carbohydrates or fiber. Classified under HTS 3504.00.10.00 as a protein isolate from vegetable sources, it is widely used in meat alternatives, bakery products, and nutritional shakes. The isolation process distinguishes it from lower-concentration soy concentrates.
Pea Protein Isolate
Pea protein isolate is isolated from yellow peas via wet fractionation, resulting in a minimum 85-90% protein powder free of starch and fiber. It is categorized under HTS 3504.00.10.00 as a nesoi protein isolate, popular in plant-based vegan supplements and meat analogs due to its complete amino acid profile. The high purification level qualifies it distinctly from pea protein concentrates.
Rice Protein Isolate
Rice protein isolate is derived from brown rice through enzymatic hydrolysis and separation, achieving 90%+ protein purity hypoallergenic for sensitive consumers. Under HTS 3504.00.10.00, it serves as a clean-label ingredient in hypoallergenic formulas, bars, and beverages. Its isolation removes rice bran oils and carbs, aligning with protein isolate definitions.
Casein Protein Isolate
Casein protein isolate is precipitated from skim milk, yielding a slow-digesting protein powder over 90% pure used in micellar formulations for muscle recovery. HTS 3504.00.10.00 covers it as a dairy-derived protein isolate, nesoi, distinct from renneted caseins in other headings. Its application in supplements and cheese production underscores its versatility.
Collagen Protein Isolate (Bovine)
Bovine collagen protein isolate is hydrolyzed from cow hides or bones to >90% protein peptides for joint health supplements and cosmetics. It qualifies under HTS 3504.00.10.00 as a nesoi protein isolate from animal sources, excluding chromed hide powder. The high purity and solubility make it ideal for beverages and skincare.
