03 Jun 2019 | Emsland
At Vitafoods Europe 2019, FoodIngredientsFirst spoke with Thomas Pruter, Director Research, Development & Innovation at the Emsland Group, about the company's efforts to expand pea protein to new applications. Under its Empro brand, the Emsland Group is offering a product line of pea-based proteins. With a protein content of at least 84 percent, the Empro pea protein isolate distinguishes itself as an alternative to animal and dairy protein as well as soy sources in numerous applications. This makes it possible to develop an attractive product range of vegan meat alternatives, convenience products and sports nutrition options.
