MANUFACTURING FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS IN INDIA SINCE 1989

Engineering ingredients for
real food systems.

Prathin Foods manufactures plant-derived functional ingredients and application platforms for food, nutrition and health. Established in 1989 by two doctorates in food technology from UDCT, Mumbai, with manufacturing at MIDC Tarapur, Maharashtra.

PRATHIN TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

02Plant-protein functionality
03Protein–carbohydrate structuring
04Application-led formulation

WHO WE ARE

From ingredient to application.

PRATHIN is an India-based food ingredient and technology company with R&D at the centre of its work. We develop functional ingredient systems where performance is judged in the finished application — not only on a specification sheet.

Thirty-seven years later the work spans soluble dietary fibre, plant proteins, aeration, emulsification, texture and beverage systems — developed and manufactured at our own facility, under FSSAI licence. FSSC 22000 certification is in progress.

CORE PLATFORM

PHGG

Partially Hydrolysed Guar Gum designed around what formulators actually need: high solubility, very low viscosity and practical fibre functionality.

01

Highly soluble

Designed for clear, easy incorporation across beverage and food systems.

02

Low viscosity

Fibre functionality without turning the finished product into a heavy gum system.

03

Application-led

Evaluated in real formulation environments, including processing, sensory and stability considerations.

TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS

Where ingredient science meets formulation.

Our technology work focuses on difficult formulation problems where conventional ingredients can become limiting.

WHY INDIA

The crop is Indian. The processing has not been.

India grows approximately eighty percent of the world’s guar. It exports refined guar splits, and imports the finished functional fibre made from them — predominantly from Japan and China, at a substantial multiple of the value it exported.

The same pattern holds across functional plant proteins. India has the agricultural base for precisely the ingredient classes the world is short of. The value has been captured elsewhere, because the process technology has resided elsewhere.

Prathin Foods develops that process technology in India.

PLATFORMS

Four systems, one manufacturing base.

01

PHGG

Partially hydrolysed guar gum. Low-viscosity soluble prebiotic fibre, manufactured in India from Indian guar.

02

NoandaFoam™

Plant protein hydrolysate systems for eggless and dairy-free bakery, standardised for reproducible performance across production sites.

03

VegeeFoam™

Plant-based foaming and aerating systems for industrial bakery and confectionery.

04

Prathinules™

High-protein plant nutrition platform for beverages, functional powders and clinical nutrition.

Alongside these, Prathin Foods manufactures mineral glycinates including ferrous glycinate, mineral aspartates, lysinate, histidine, ascorbates and iron polysaccharide complexes — the bioavailable chemistries used in pharmaceutical and clinical nutrition formulation, supplied to the pharmaceutical industry for over three decades.

FOR GLOBAL FOOD & NUTRITION COMPANIES

Have a formulation problem worth solving?

PRATHIN works best when the technical question is specific: an ingredient that is difficult to formulate, a functionality that is not surviving processing, or a new product architecture that needs a practical route to scale.
