What is it?
Hydrolysed pea protein is a plant-based protein derived from peas that has undergone hydrolysis. This involves breaking down the protein into smaller peptides and amino acids through the use of enzymes or acids. This process makes the protein easier to digest and can enhance its functional properties. Hydrolysed pea protein possesses the following characteristics…
Appearance – Light yellow, fine powder
Odour – Neutral odour
Taste – Hydrolysis can reduce the natural bitterness of pea protein, leaving it with a gentle taste.
Applications & Functionalities
Enhanced Digestibility – Hydrolysis breaks down protein into smaller peptides, making it easier for the body to digest and absorb.
Improved Solubility – Hydrolysed pea protein is more soluble in water compared to non-hydrolysed forms, which is beneficial for beverages and liquid formulations.
Emulsification – Acts as an emulsifier, helping to stabilise mixtures of oil and water, which is useful in products like dressings, sauces, and plant-based milks.
Texture Enhancement – Improves the texture of various food products, giving them a more desirable mouthfeel and consistency.
Moisture Retention – Helps retain moisture in baked goods and meat substitutes, preventing them from drying out.
Nutritional Benefits – Contains essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.
