Pea Protein

Synonyme: Pea Protein Isolate, Pea Protein Concentrate, Pisum sativum Protein, Yellow Pea Protein, Vegetable Protein, Plant Protein

Pea protein has rapidly gained traction in the global food and nutrition industry, driven by the rising demand for plant-based alternatives, clean-label products, and sustainable protein sources. It is particularly popular in sports nutrition, meat analogues, and dairy-free beverages, where formulators seek a hypoallergenic, non-GMO protein that delivers a balanced amino acid profile.

Derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum), pea protein is typically produced through a dry milling and air classification process to yield a concentrate (50–60% protein) or further purified via wet extraction and isoelectric precipitation to obtain an isolate (80–90% protein). This versatile ingredient is valued for its neutral taste, good digestibility, and compatibility with various food matrices.

Standardized to consistent protein content and low microbial counts, our pea protein is available in both conventional and organic grades. It meets the rigorous specifications required by food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers, ensuring reliable performance in formulations ranging from protein bars to plant-based burgers.

Produktübersicht und Zusammensetzung

Pea protein consists primarily of globulins (legumin and vicilin) and albumins, with a well-balanced amino acid profile that is rich in lysine but limited in methionine. It is naturally free from common allergens such as soy, gluten, and dairy, making it an excellent choice for allergen-friendly products.

The protein content varies by grade: concentrates typically contain 50–60% protein, while isolates exceed 80% on a dry basis. Our pea protein is carefully processed to minimize off-flavors and maintain functional properties like solubility, emulsification, and gelation.
