All proteins come with a natural flavour, plant as well as animal proteins. Pulse proteins have typical beany, bitter, plant taste. Our proprietary process enables to lower overall flavor, bitter and raw plant taste, making it more appealing in its overall eating experience. We also have solutions available to further improve your finished product. Reach out to Ingredion to learn more about the solutions and formulations.
Pulse protein concentrates enable most consumer preferred ‘natural’ claims. They are dry milled, therefore more sustainable compared to isolates and lower cost in use. From functional perspective, pulse protein concentrates bring additional viscosity and gelling due to their higher starch content compared to isolates. They have higher protein solubility and bring creamy texture to the products. This additional texture is a great addition to low to medium protein levels in most applications. Its low cold water binding properties makes the concentrates also ideal for protein enrichment in baked goods like high protein bread.
VITESSENCE® Prista pulse protein concentrates meet the criteria for a ‘natural ingredient’ according to:
1. UK Food Standards Agency Guidance for the definition of “Natural”
2. French DGCCRF guidance on the use of the term “Natural“
3. ISO Technical Specification on definitions and technical criteria for food ingredients to be considered as natural
Each specific addition of VITESSENCE® Prista pulse protein concentrates/flours should be considered on a case-by-case basis. It is the overall strength of all the ingredients’ “natural” status within a food product that should be considered before making the final claim on an end product.
It is therefore advised that you satisfy yourself of the labelling obligations, in accordance with relevant legislation, for your products as sold to the ultimate consumer.
VITESSENCE® Prista P 360 faba bean concentrate has the best emulsifying property and can be used in cold processed mayonnaise, dressings and even in ice-cream. The process pulse proteins are being used, order of ingredients addition and the other ingredients are critical to make best out of the pulse proteins being used. Reach out to Ingredion to learn more about the recipes, formulation and process guidance.
Our VITESSENCE® Prista P155 is based on yellow pea and provides the best cost-in-use approach for protein enrichment in various applications like dairy alternative, bakery, snacks, and pasta. Its ultra-performance with improved flavour and colour make it a great choice over other pea concentrates and it is a great ingredient to boost the Nutriscore of your product.
Our VITESSENCE® Prista P360 is based on faba bean and provides a higher protein content plus excellent emulsification properties, making it an ideal solution for dairy alternatives, better-for-you and gluten-free baked goods, confectionary, snacks, beverages, and batters & breadings. Its pristine functionality can enable vegan emulsification in categories such as sauces & dressing, vegan baked goods, and frozen desserts.
Our VITESSENCE® range is a great source of protein and all products contain all 9 essential amino acids. Like most plant-proteins, they are not considered complete proteins, as they do not provide all essential amino acids in the required amount, and should be part of a diverse, healthy diet. If you want to understand more about the amino acid composition and protein quality of our products, reach out to Ingredion and we will connect you to our experts.
Pulse proteins are pH sensitive and have a dense structure at their iso-electric point (in the range of pH 4-5) and can cause gritty or chalky textures. This is a challenge in formulating various food products and the right handling, formulating, and processing can make all the difference in the final product.
We have solutions and starting recipes for our VITESSENCE® Prista products to help you navigate through the right hydration, processing, and fermentation steps to achieve the best possible results. We can also further support texture differentiation, shelf-life stability and flavour improvements with our broad portfolio of ingredients if needed. Reach out to Ingredion to learn more about the recipes, formulation and process guidance.
Our VITESSENCE® Prista range is produced via our proprietary physical treatment based on state-of-the-art technology to maintain the pristine protein functionality while improving overall flavour and colour of the product. It outperforms regular concentrates processed with solely air classification and can be used in more flavour sensitive applications also at higher dosages without impairing the overall eating experience.
Our VITESSENCE® Prista products are made from pulse proteins and are not of animal origin. They do not come into contact with materials of animal origin during manufacture, meaning to the best of our knowledge these products are suitable for use in Vegetarian and Vegan products.
