Chemical Formula Varies

Molecular Weight Varies

Pea protein is a high-quality, plant-based protein extracted from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). It is rich in essential amino acids, especially arginine and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), making it a popular alternative to animal-based proteins.
 

Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Emulsifiers: Pea protein molecules have both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (fat-attracting) parts, making them amphipathic. This dual nature allows pea proteins to stabilize emulsions by interacting with both the water and oil phases.The hydrophobic portions of the pea protein molecule bind with the oil (fat), while the hydrophilic parts interact with water, helping to disperse and stabilize the oil droplets in the aqueous phase.
  • Nutritional Additives: Pea protein is an excellent source of plant-based protein, which is a key nutritional additive for many food products, particularly in vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based diets. It provides 20-25 grams of protein per 30-gram serving of pea protein isolate, making it a valuable protein source in products where animal-derived proteins are not used.
  • Stabilizer & Thickener: Pea protein helps improve texture and consistency in food products by enhancing viscosity and preventing ingredient separation. It is widely used in plant-based dairy alternatives, soups, sauces, and meat substitutes to create a smooth, uniform texture and improve mouthfeel and product stability.

2. Personal Care 

  • Hair & Skin Care Products: Found in shampoos, conditioners, and skin creams for its hydrating and strengthening properties.
  • Skin Conditioner: Forms a protective film on the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping it hydrated. Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors and pollutants.
  • Surfactant: Acts as a natural alternative to harsh sulfates, making it suitable for sensitive skin and hair. Enhances the lather in shampoos, face washes, and body washes for a luxurious feel.

3. Animal Healthcare

  • Protein Source in Pet Food: Used in dog and cat food formulations as a plant-based protein alternative.
  • Easily Digestible & Hypoallergenic: Ideal for pets with sensitivities to common protein sources like chicken or beef.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Sustainable Livestock Feed Ingredient: Provides a plant-based protein source for farm animals, reducing reliance on soy and animal-based proteins.
  • Enhances Growth & Nutrition: Supports healthy muscle development in livestock while being environmentally friendly.
