Soy Protein Isolates
Soy protein isolates are derived from removing the majority of nonprotein
components from soybean and contain not less than 90% of pure soy protein.
Soy protein isolates are manufactured from defatted soy flakes and when used
as an ingredient in food products, improves the texture and nutritional value of
foods. Soy protein isolates also stabilize emulsions and aid in the absorption of
water and fat.
Soy protein isolates are used as an ingredient in the manufacture of a wide
variety of food products such as dairy foods, nutritional supplements, seafood,
processed meat, frozen food, nutritional beverages, cream soups, sauces and
snacks. Currently, this product is sold mainly to processed meat manufacturers. |

Soy Oligosaccharide Syrup
Soy oligosaccharide syrup is manufactured from soybean whey, a by-product from
the production of soy protein isolates. Soy oligosaccharide syrup is a prebiotic that
when ingested, selectively stimulates the growth of favourable bifido bacteria in
the intestines and colon so as to improve digestion. Pine Agritech is one of the
few companies in the PRC which has successfully adopted membrane separation
technology and has the capital funding to support the commercial production of
soy oligosaccharide syrup. The Ministry of Health of the PRC has approved its soy
oligosaccharide syrup as a health-care food product. Its soy oligosaccharide syrup
is also qualified for export as it has been registered with the State Certification and
Accreditation Administration.
Soy oligosaccharide syrup is sold to distributors for retail sales and operators
of small retail outlets. Since 1 July 2004, the Group has also been selling the
soy oligosaccharide syrup to beverage manufacturers as an ingredient in their
manufacturing process. |

Soybean Oil
Soybean oil is obtained from the extraction of oils during the manufacturing
process of defatted soy flakes. Soybean oil contains vitamins A and D and
various unsaturated fatty acids that are essential to the human body, making it
an ideal high nutritional food product. Manufacturers of refined oils buy soybean
oil from the Group for further processing into higher grade oil and it is also sold
to small retailers. |

Soybean Peptide
Soybean peptide is extracted from soy protein isolates. It comprises two to six
amino acids and can be more easily absorbed by the human body as compared to
protein. Independent reports have highlighted numerous potential health benefits
of Soybean peptide, such as the rapid recovery of energy, improving memory and
boosting the immune system.
Soybean peptide has strong growth potential due to its broad application in F&B
products, such as liquid-milk, beer, snacks, soft drinks and coffee. These products
containing peptides have been successfully developed and marketed in Japan,
Europe and USA. Since early 2006, the Group has been selling Soybean peptide
under our own brand Tineng™. |

Ditang
Ditang is the latest health product launched by the Group in September 2007.
Derived from continuous research and high technological production, Ditang’s
main ingredients include soy oligosaccharide syrup, soybean peptide and tea leaf
extract. Ditang is not genetically modified and does not contain chemicals, hence
its natural qualities.
The Group has collaborated with several hospitals in the People’s Republic of
China, on the use of Ditang as a health product particularly targeted at people
suffering from Type II diabetes, where the body does not produce enough insulin
or when the cells ignore the insulin. |
