Product Description
What is Pea-based Protein Powder?
Pea-based Protein Powder is a quality, plant-based protein that is processed specifically for industrial use throughout the world's food, beverage, and nutritional manufacturing industries from yellow field peas (Pisum sativum). This multi-functional bulk commodity is used by commercial formulators, contract manufacturers, and private label brands who are looking for allergen-friendly, sustainable, and reliable protein feeds. It does not contain any major food allergens, such as dairy, soy and gluten, making it the perfect raw material to support clean label product positioning. It is available in various commercial grades (protein concentrates and high-protein isolates) and has excellent techno-functional properties (optimal solubility, stable emulsification, and good water-binding capacity). The properties make it ideal for use in dry sports nutrition mixes, ready-to-drink sports drinks, plant-based dairy substitutes, bakery mixes, and extruded foods for the industrial developer, without negatively impacting texture or mouthfeel. It is considered an ESG-friendly raw material because of its efficient agricultural land usage and reduced GHG emissions compared to animal protein options.

Features
The Pea Protein Powder has a unique set of physicochemical and techno-functional properties, giving commercial formulators and designers of protein products outstanding processing versatility. The ingredient comes from Pisum sativum and has a balanced amino acid profile, with a high level of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and lysine, which means it can be used for various nutritional enrichment objectives without the need to rely on animal inputs. Its functional properties are significantly affected in a rheological and structural way by the conformation of proteins, their surface hydrophobicity, and the distribution of electrostatic charges in different pH ranges. It has good water binding and fat absorption properties, leading to enhanced structural integrity, moisture retention, and crumb structure in industrial processing matrices like extruded matrices and bakery products. Its emulsifying and foaming properties allow food scientists to create stable emulsions of oil in water and desired aeration for various emulsion-type foods such as plant-based dairy alternatives, whipped toppings, and emulsion-type meat alternatives. The solubility profile can be adjusted by careful treatment with heat and enzymes to enable the ingredient to be formulated into clear ready-to-drink beverages or viscous nutritional shakes that do not sediment. In addition, it's thermally stable and won't lose its structural integrity in high-temperature processing methods like UHT pasteurization, extrusion cooking, and retort sterilization.
How to Store Properly?
1. Temperature and Climate Regulation:
Bulk shipments should be stored in climate-controlled warehouses with temperatures below 25℃ and a relative humidity of less than 60% to avoid moisture absorption and caking.
2. Moisture Barrier and Seal Integrity:
Even though shipping containers include several layers of commercial packaging with resistant to moisture liners and tight lids, people are required to immediately close open containers when shipped to prevent atmospheric moisture.
3. Pallet Elevation and Ventilation:
Store bulk containers and fibre drums on pallets, not on the floor, and ensure enough clearance for air circulation around them to prevent dampness from the floor.
4. Light Exposure and Photoprotection:
Prevent the direct exposure of the packaging to intense UV light and direct sunlight, and avoid photo-oxidation of amino acid bonds, loss of colour and damage to the physicochemical integrity of the package.
5. Chemical Segregation and Odor Isolation:
Ensure inventory is kept away from volatile chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strongly scented Pure Pea Protein Powder by keeping a dedicated raw material area in order to prevent inventory cross-contamination and maintain a neutral sensory profile.
6. Inventory Rotation and FIFO Protocols:
Establish a First-in-First-out stock management system for formulators to keep track of batch numbers in a systematic way to ensure use of fresh batches with optimal performance during manufacturing.
Recommended Usage
1. Hard-Shell Capsule Formulations:
Apply high shear dry blending systems to assure uniformity of the powder mixture by using the right glidants and lubricants to ensure consistent bulk density that will eliminate Bulk Pea Protein Powder bridging and allow for accurate volumetric dosing when high-speed capsules are needed.
2. Direct-Compression Tablet Manufacturing:
Use special binders, lubricants, and anti-adherents to overcome the structural problems of the protein-rich raw material and retain the optimal hardness and friability of the tablets during high-speed industrial compression runs.
3. Wet-Granulation Processing for Tablets:
Suitable binder solutions used during granulation will successfully agglomerate fine protein particles to get good flowability, mechanical strength, and prevent capping/lamination.
4. Liquid Delivery Systems and Beverages:
Use high-pressure homogenization and high shear liquid mixing combined with food-grade hydrocolloids and/or emulsifiers to prevent particle sedimentation, avoid phase separation, and ensure a smooth and uniform mouthfeel in nutritional drinks.
5. Powder Sachets and Dry Blends:
Add free-flowing excipients and anti-caking agents to dry-mix formulations to allow for quick dissolution or dispersion, prevent lumping on reconstitution, and provide consistent dosing accuracy for stick pack formulations.
