Pea Protein comes in the form of a beige powder with a pure taste. It is obtained from golden or yellow peas by a dry and a liquid process. In the dry stage, the pea shells are mechanically removed and ground. Later, the pea flour is obtained and, due to its solubility in water, the proteins are separated by centrifugation and harvested.

Pea Protein has a very high protein content – 80% per 100g – and is also a good source of iron and amino acids. It has anti-allergenic properties and high digestibility. It is also a good emulsifier and foaming agent. The functional properties of Pea Protein concentrates and isolates include water binding capacity, foaming and gelling stability.

Pea Protein is used as a vegetable protein source in food manufacturing. It can be used in products such as smoothies, plant-based meat substitutes, vegan ice cream, and yogurt alternatives. When added to meat substitutes, it not only provides an alternative to zoonotic protein, but also thickens the final product. Pea Protein is also popular in baking and as an ingredient in prepared foods. In addition, it enables the production of emulsions in sauces or vegan mayonnaise.

Pea Protein can also be used in animal nutrition. It affects the weight gain of animals, being a source of protein. It is also characterized by high digestibility. Pea Protein can be used in livestock and pet nutrition.

The storage period of Pea Protein is 24 months. The product should be stored in cool and dry warehouses, preferably without access to light.
