Product Attribute Drivers Clean / Clear Label Fat Salt Protein Sugar Fibre Vegetarian / Vegan 4 Holistic approach
Vegetable Proteins Functionality Application Sources - processing / extraction Functionality of isolate Protein claims Further hydrolysis & functionality Flavour profile Functional products / applications / solutions Snacks Gluten free Bakery Sauces / soups Emulsified products Sports nutrition 5
Why Plant Proteins? Protein consumption Plant protein benefits 50-60 gr Protein/day 20% 80% Animal Plant Non- allergen product Non- diary product Gluten Free Good aminoacids profile Low calories content High minerals content Easy to digest Suitable for vegan 6
Proteins in Food Applications Nutritional reason, biological value allergic risks ethical reasons Food technology functional reasons Water binding Emulsification Aeration Etc. Totally different requirements 7
Extraction of Pea Protein Empro E 86 Empro E 846HV Embat EK Glutenfree Empro Tex 1450 Empro Tex 144 Protein, food grade Protein texturants Pea Physical separation Fruit water Separation, temperature, acid PPL Starch, modified starch Fibre Protein, feed Feed Emden ET 50 Emfibre EF 200 Emfibre EF 60 8
Protein, Technological Functions Texture & Mouthfeel, Taste Viscosity / Gelification Solubility Protein Extrusion performance Wet Dry 9 Process stability => temperature, ph, shear stress Aeration & Overrun, -stability Emulsification capacity, -stability Alexandra Niemeyer
Isolate => Hydrolysate A protein hydrolysate is a mixture of polypeptides, peptides and free aminoacids by fractioning the native protein using acids, alkalis and enzymes Protein Poly Peptides Peptides and Aminoacids HYDROLYSIS HYDROLYSIS DH 10
Hydrolysate Properties Plant based Hydrolysates Raw Materials Technology High Value Added Products Protein Hydrolysates Soluble protein Quick absorption Increase amino acids High biodisponibility Reduce allergency 11
Type of Hydrolysis Hydrolysates can be obtained by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis Advantages Disadvantages Chemical HD Low cost of reactive agents Low specificity Require high Tº Increase salt content Protein structure modification Enzymatic HD High specificity Soft reaction conditions Low salt content Improve nutritional properties High cost of reactive agents 12
Why Hydrolysates? Hydrolysates properties vs Isolates Hydrolysates Isolates Absorption Fast Slow Bio Availability High Standard Solubility Soluble Dispersible Allergenic Very low High Digestibility High Standard Nutritional value Improved Standard Molecular distribution Controlled Uncontrolled Taste Lightly Bitter Neutral 13
Product Claims Non-Dairy Vegan product Gluten Free Organic certified CLAIMS Low sugars Non-GMO Kosher & Halal certified 14
Vegetable Protein Functionality Cost (In-Use) Protein Level Amino Acid Profile Amino Acid Bioavailability Interaction with other materials Allergen & Free-From Emulsificati on Processability ph Stability Texture/ Viscosity/ Mouthfeel Flavour Masking Taste/ Colour/ Flavour Functionality drives choice/suitability 15
