Pea protein isolate of high purity that contains all 18 essential amino acids in significant amounts – 80% proteins.
Pea protein can be easily combined with other plant proteins in order to achieve an AAS of 1. Thanks to its richness in those amino acids, this protein naturally provides high levels of branched amino acids (BCAA) (17.9g/100g protein).
Very high true digestibility – 98%.
Among the macronutrients, proteins have been identified as having the most important effect on food intake. Increasing the protein composition of the diet without changing the net energy load can lead to enhanced feelings of satiety. Pea protein is an intermediate-fast protein. That means has an intermediate rapid and strong satiation effect – between whey protein and casein. Pea protein has an effect on lowering short-term food intake.
Proteins are essential building blocks for the structure and metabolism of muscle, bone, and connective tissue. Plant proteins are frequently reported to have positive effects on muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass, muscle strength, improvement in body composition, prevention of a catabolic state, immunocompetence and ensuring optimal regeneration in the post-exertion phase.
Proteins are essential to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and start the muscle recovery process. Thanks to its composition in arginine, BCAA and iron, this pea protein plays an important role in muscle synthesis, muscle strength enhancement and muscle recovery.
Thanks to gentle production process, this pea protein has an optimized taste (green taste and off notes) and can be used in a wide range of end-products.
Application:
- RTD BEVERAGES, SHAKES, NON-DAIRY – Thanks to its high solubility and emulsifying capacities, this pea protein is ideal to formulate mainstream and high protein RTD beverages, powder blends and non-dairy products.
- BARS AND BAKERY – high protein bars, gluten-free bread or biscuit.
- (PLANT-BASED) SAVOURY – Fibration properties, emulsifying capacities, high viscosity at acid pH and high gel properties makes it ideal for plant-based savoury and savoury markets.
Pea is a very efficient raw material in the production of proteins: use of water, land and energy. In the rotations, the pea contributes to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
