Function/Use: Plant-based protein
Pea protein—derived from yellow peas—is a plant-based protein source and a popular modern protein alternative. It offers excellent nutritional properties, including Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle building. Being free from fat and cholesterol, it is suitable for individuals looking to increase protein intake, fitness enthusiasts, health-conscious consumers, vegetarians, and those with lactose intolerance.
Pea protein is widely used as a protein supplement in foods and beverages due to key functional properties, such as:
High-temperature stability, as well as emulsifying capabilities and emulsion stability.
Water and oil binding capacity.
Gelling ability.
Foaming capacity and foam stability.
Film-forming ability, allowing it to serve as a coating agent in microencapsulation processes involving spray drying.
Regarding emulsification and foaming, pea protein performs better than soy protein isolate at pH 7.0.
Pea protein typically appears as a yellow or cream-colored powder. Widely used to boost protein content in a variety of foods and beverages.
