Cold-water soluble collagen peptides dissolve clearly in cold water, maintain stability across pH 3–9, and work in still, carbonated, and hot beverages with neutral taste.
The ideal protein source for modern functional beverages
Our cold-water-soluble collagen peptides are engineered for exceptional performance in beverage applications. They dissolve crystal-clear in cold water, deliver a neutral taste profile, and remain stable across a wide pH range, making them perfect for everything from still protein waters to carbonated sports drinks.
Instant dissolution without clumping at temperatures as low as 4°C
Transparent solutions at any concentration for premium appearance
Stable from pH 3 to pH 9, suitable for acidic and carbonated drinks
No off-flavors or aftertaste, preserving beverage taste profiles

Key steps for integrating collagen peptides into beverage production
Add collagen peptides to cold water (4–25°C) under gentle agitation (200–400 rpm). Full dissolution achieved in 3–5 minutes. Avoid high-shear mixing to prevent foaming. For carbonated beverages, dissolve prior to carbonation step.
Collagen solutions remain stable from pH 3.0 to 9.0. For acidic beverages (pH 2.5–3.5), add peptides after pH adjustment to minimize hydrolysis risk. Buffer capacity of peptides is low; monitor pH drift in fermentation-based drinks.
Our peptides withstand HTST pasteurization (72°C / 15 s) and UHT (135°C / 4 s) without degradation or precipitation. Avoid prolonged holding at temperatures above 90°C in acidic conditions (pH < 4.0) to preserve molecular weight distribution.
Compatible with all standard filling lines (hot-fill, cold-fill, aseptic). No sedimentation observed over 12-month shelf life at 4°C or 6 months at ambient. Recommend PET, HDPE, or carton packaging. Avoid prolonged light exposure for clear solutions.
