Pea Protein
Isolate and concentrate from yellow peas — allergen-friendly plant protein. Pea protein exists commercially in two tiers. Isolate typically runs around 80 % protein or higher and is used where protein density and relatively clean flavour are needed — beverages, sports nutrition, bars. Concentrate sits lower in protein with more residual starch and fibre, and is used where cost per kilogram of formulation matters more than protein density, often in extruded meat alternatives and bakery.

Technical & procurement detail
What this product is and what decides quality+
Pea protein exists commercially in two tiers. Isolate typically runs around 80 % protein or higher and is used where protein density and relatively clean flavour are needed — beverages, sports nutrition, bars. Concentrate sits lower in protein with more residual starch and fibre, and is used where cost per kilogram of formulation matters more than protein density, often in extruded meat alternatives and bakery. The properties that decide whether a given protein works in your product are functional, not nutritional: solubility across the pH range you operate in, gelation behaviour, emulsification capacity, and dispersibility in cold water. Two isolates with identical protein content can behave completely differently in a beverage. Flavour is the honest constraint. Pea protein carries characteristic notes that formulators mask with flavour systems; anyone claiming a completely neutral pea isolate is overselling. Sampling before commitment is the sensible route, and we quote on that basis.
Types, classes and grades+
Pea protein isolate (~80 %+): High protein density; beverages, bars and sports nutrition. Pea protein concentrate (~50–60 %): Cost-efficient protein with residual starch and fibre. Textured pea protein: Extruded formats for meat alternatives; supplied against confirmed specification. Organic pea protein: Available where certification is contracted in advance.
Specification basis+
Protein content — Isolate typically 80 %+; concentrate typically 50–60 % (dry basis). Moisture — Normally 8 % maximum. Ash — Stated per specification. Particle size — Sieve specification agreed per application. Microbiology — Total plate count, yeast, mould, Salmonella and E. coli limits per food standard. Values vary by grade, crop year and supplier and are confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.
Supply and origin context+
Canada's large yellow pea crop supports a growing domestic pulse fractionation industry that separates the seed into protein, starch and fibre streams. This is why pea protein is exportable from Canada as a finished ingredient rather than only as raw seed. Buyers should note that protein, starch and fibre come from the same fractionation run. Demand for one stream affects the availability of the others, which is worth understanding when planning long-term supply. Origin, availability, grade and certification are confirmed at quotation for the lot actually offered — origin is a supply attribute, never an assumed property of the product.
Commercial and shipping notes+
Request samples and run your own functional trials before contracting volume — solubility and flavour decide the outcome. · Confirm which certifications your market requires (non-GMO, organic, Halal, Kosher) at enquiry stage. · Quoted FOB, CFR or CIF.
Documentation+
Commonly relevant documentation: Certificate of Analysis with full microbiological panel · Specification sheet and allergen statement · Certificate of Origin · Non-GMO declaration · Halal / Kosher / organic certification where contracted. Availability is confirmed per order and per destination.
Frequently asked questions
What should the first enquiry for pea protein include?+
State the quantity, the destination, the presentation you need and the parameters you buy on — protein content, moisture, ash, particle size, microbiology. With those in the enquiry we can return a quotation instead of a list of questions.
Which types or grades of pea protein are available?+
Pea protein isolate (~80 %+), Pea protein concentrate (~50–60 %), Textured pea protein, Organic pea protein. All of these are grades of the same product rather than separate products; the grade is fixed at quotation.
What packaging options are available?+
20 kg or 25 kg multi-wall paper bags with food-grade liner · Bulk bags on confirmed volume · Palletised and stretch-wrapped for container loading. Packaging is confirmed at quotation, because it affects both protection in transit and freight cost.
Where does the material originate?+
Origin, availability, grade and certification are confirmed at quotation for the lot actually offered — origin is a supply attribute, never an assumed property of the product.
