In Many Of Today's Foods
FAIRFIELD, NJ, April 23, 2007 - A&B Ingredients, a leading solutions supplier of rice-based products and value-added ingredients, announced the availability of Pisane, a new non genetically modified (GMO) pea protein isolate. Particularly well suited, for weight control and sport foods, Pisane is designed for use as a single protein source in vegetable beverages, non dairy food, high protein sport foods, pastas, shakes and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, dietetic foods, as well as vegetarian foods.
Containing 88% to 90% protein, Pisane is highly digestible (98%). It is both gluten free and exhibits low incidents of allergens.
In making the announcement, Gil Bakal, A&B Ingredients Managing Director said, "Pea protein is an extremely viable alternative protein source that can have a profound influence on the formulation of weight conscious food and diets based on low glycaemic index (GI) and high protein intake."
Bakal further noted that pea protein can replace a significant percentage of other proteins in many food products without impacting the color, taste or texture of the product. "This is especially important when you look at the continuing rise of dairy ingredients and the ever-growing move toward all-natural, clean-label ingredients. Pea protein has proven to be one of the most tolerated and accepted protein sources without labeling or high allergy issues."
Other benefits of Pisane include:
- Rich in Lysine and Arginine amino acids
- Non-dairy
