Protein fortification changes more than composition: the inclusion needed depends on protein concentration, while the physical impact depends on whether the ingredient is a fine concentrate or a textured protein. Developers therefore need to set the protein target before choosing the format and dosage.
What can we help you achieve?
High protein
Increasing protein in fortification can create a stronger nutritional proposition while preserving the characteristic texture of the format.
Nutritional value
Better nutritional value can strengthen the product proposition and give consumers a clearer reason to choose it.
Product differentiation
A recognisable point of difference can strengthen premium appeal in a competitive category.
Our Recommended Ingredient Solution
PisumPRO
This ingredient can provide protein fortification in this formulation. Its 55% native yellow-pea protein combines protein enrichment with documented emulsifying and foaming functionality.
ViciaPRO
It supports the same validated formulation objective(s), but it brings a different ingredient profile. Compared with PisumPRO, the fava-bean route reaches a higher protein concentration of 65-75%; Ebro also uses locally grown, selected fava-bean varieties for this range.
CicerPRO
It supports the same validated formulation objective(s), but it brings a different ingredient profile. This chickpea concentrate provides a third pulse-protein route with a fine granulometry and a 45-55% protein range, differentiating it from the higher-protein fava option and the pea-based reference.
PisumTEX
It supports the same validated formulation objective(s), but it brings a different ingredient profile. This textured pea-protein range is available at 55% and 65% protein and also has an organic option, giving more grade flexibility within the textured pulse-protein family.
Of course no two formulations are alike and your best choice may also depend on factors beyond pure functionality. Let us help you find the ingredient solutions that best fit your application, with specifications, samples and recipe support when available.
