What Is Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Lotus Seed Powder?

Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Lotus Seed Powder is produced by selecting premium Chuzhou White Lotus seeds, followed by a carefully controlled process including enzymatic hydrolysis, fine milling, emulsification, formulation, sterilization, and spray drying.
Compared with traditional lotus seed flour, enzymatic hydrolysis breaks down macromolecules into smaller, more digestible components, resulting in:
•Smooth, creamy mouthfeel
•No beany or dairy-like off-flavor
•No bitterness or rough texture
•High retention of nutrients and bioactive compounds
