Dezhou Gushen Protein Technology Co., Ltd.

Dezhou Gushen Protein Technology Co., Ltd. crushes soybeans and makes soy protein on Caiyuan Road in the Lingcheng District of Dezhou, Shandong province. All of the beans it uses come from north-east China and every incoming batch is tested for GMO content, since the plant is built around domestic non-GMO material.

Capacity is stated line by line. The crush unit processes 2,000 tonnes of soybeans a day, selling soy oil mainly into food service and passing flakes on for further processing. Downstream the company lists 80,000 tonnes a year of isolated soy protein, 50,000 tonnes of concentrated soy protein, a further 10,000 tonnes of hexane-free concentrate, 15,000 tonnes of soy dietary fibre, 20,000 tonnes of textured proteins including textured concentrate, protein crisps and extruded fibre products, and 10,000 tonnes of spray-dried soy powder. Lecithin and soy polysaccharide round out the derivative range.

Production data is recorded automatically so that any batch can be traced. The company holds HACCP, ISO 22000 and BRCGS certification, SGS non-GMO Identity Preserved verification, and Kosher and Halal certificates. It has been named a Shandong manufacturing single champion and a provincial specialised and innovative enterprise, and is a Ministry of Agriculture designated base for international trade development.
