Myocardial Active Peptide Freeze Dried
Myocardial active peptide, freeze dried, is a lyophilised powder of short peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of animal heart muscle, in practice porcine or bovine heart recovered as edible offal, dried from the frozen state under vacuum rather than in hot air.
Heart is a distinctive hydrolysis feedstock because it is continuously working muscle. Its tissue is dense in mitochondria and therefore carries an unusually high content of coenzyme Q10, carnitine and taurine, together with myoglobin, and its protein is largely contractile actin and myosin rather than the collagen that dominates hide and bone. The hydrolysate accordingly shows a broad amino acid profile with a high content of the branched chain residues typical of muscle protein, and carries those small mitochondrial cofactors through with it, which is the basis on which it is sold as an active rather than a plain peptide.
Freeze drying is chosen precisely because those cofactors and the associated colour are heat sensitive. The powder is pale brown to reddish brown, porous and low in bulk density, with a savoury meaty odour. It dissolves almost immediately in water because sublimation drying leaves an open cake, and the same structure makes it hygroscopic, so it is packed under nitrogen in foil and handled in a conditioned room.
We source bulk Myocardial Active Peptide Freeze Dried from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Hainan. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Species and traceability form the first distinction: porcine heart is the volume feedstock, and bovine heart is used where a non porcine origin is specified, with species identification testing normally part of the certificate because organ by-products are readily substituted in trade. Molecular weight is the second axis: general grades hold most of the peptide mass below 3000 Daltons, while ultrafiltered oligopeptide grades take the greater part below 1000 Daltons.
Freeze dried presentation is itself the grade distinction against the spray dried version of the same hydrolysate, and the two carry different prices and specifications. Some suppliers additionally declare coenzyme Q10, carnitine or taurine content as a marker of the freeze drying benefit, which turns those figures into part of the grade rather than an incidental analysis. Decolourised and deodorised lots are made for capsules and oral liquids, while unrefined material retaining full colour and aroma goes to feed, palatants and savoury flavour work, and veterinary residue screening is standard across grades.
Applications
- Capsule and tablet supplements in the East Asian tonic market, positioned on cardiac and general vitality support
- Oral liquid shots and concentrated tonic drinks, where the freeze dried powder dissolves instantly and completely
- Instant powders for reconstitution, blended with plant extracts in traditional style formulations
- Sports and endurance formats, where muscle derived peptides are combined with carnitine and taurine positioning
- Convalescent and elderly nutrition, supplying a readily absorbed animal peptide source
- Microbiological and cell culture media, where heart infusion derived peptides are a long established nitrogen and growth factor source
- Pet food palatants and senior pet supplements, where organ derived peptides raise intake
- Savoury reaction flavours, used as an amino acid donor for cooked meat notes
- Aquaculture and weaning feed attractants for early stage animals

Regulatory Status
In the United States hydrolysates of edible offal are used as dietary ingredients in supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, with the manufacturer holding the safety basis and complying with dietary supplement good manufacturing practice, and heart infusion preparations have a long established separate use in microbiological media. No food additive regulation or published generally recognised as safe listing names heart peptide, so conventional food use would rest on a self determined generally recognised as safe conclusion for the specific source and process. Bovine material is subject to the ruminant tissue controls imposed against transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, and imported offal is screened for veterinary drug residues.
In the European Union heart from animals passed fit for slaughter is edible offal and may enter the food chain under the hygiene rules for products of animal origin, but a peptide preparation made from it has no established history of significant consumption in that form and would normally require novel food authorisation before being marketed as a food or food supplement ingredient. Production also falls under the animal by-products framework, which determines which material categories may be processed for food and feed and requires approved establishments, and under the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy rules where bovine tissue is used. No E number applies, and neither Codex nor JECFA has issued a specification for the material.
Manufacturing Process
Chilled or frozen heart from an approved abattoir is trimmed of the pericardium, valves, large vessels and adhering fat, then split and washed repeatedly to flush the chambers of residual blood, since retained blood drives both colour and odour in the finished powder. The cleaned muscle is minced with water into a pumpable slurry and heated briefly to inactivate tissue enzymes and reduce the microbial load, then cooled to the working temperature of the protease system.
Hydrolysis runs in a stirred reactor at controlled pH, generally with a bacterial endoprotease to cleave the myofibrillar protein followed by an exopeptidase preparation to trim the hydrophobic terminal residues that carry bitterness, and is stopped by heat once the target degree of hydrolysis is reached. The digest is centrifuged to remove undigested tissue and to separate the fat layer, then ultrafiltered at a few kiloDaltons to hold back residual whole protein. Where the grade calls for a lighter colour, a limited activated carbon treatment is applied, though this is kept minimal because carbon also strips the lipophilic cofactors the product is sold for. The permeate is concentrated at low temperature under vacuum, filled into trays, frozen solid, and dried in a lyophiliser where the ice sublimes directly to vapour. The dried cake is milled, sieved and packed at once under nitrogen.
