PGP Develops Advanced Extrusion Technology and Produces a High Protein Crisp

The advanced extrusion technology applied at PGPI produces a High Protein Crisp that is totally free of Hexane and allergens and perfect for a wide range of applications such as energy bars, nutrition rich food, cereals, snacks and confections.

 

Recent studies reveal that pea protein may yield health benefits that promote a sense of fullness and stimulate the body’s peptide production, abating the feelings of hunger. It’s a finished application product that is already meeting the needs of PGPI customers that want high quality ingredients for their consumer products that are rich in protein, tasty and allergen free.

 

Peter Hassing, VP of Business Unit Extrusion at PGPI in Woodland, California told FoodIngredientsFirst that pea proteins are a good choice for customers that need to pack in extra protein. He explains: “The High Protein Crisp product is typically in a market where our customers need to respond quickly to changing demands and our strength comes from a fast turnaround, an innovative approach and faultless quality.”

 

Hassing adds: “Consumers are constantly looking for ways to get more protein packed into their diet, without having to eat too much else and we've seen a rise in demand for alternative protein.”

 

“It's also important to us that the pea proteins are allergen free, especially for people with soy or gluten allergies,” he says.
