Technical aspects
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.
