Hydrolyzed Pea Protein is a highly digestible form of protein derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum). Through enzymatic hydrolysis, the large protein molecules are broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process enhances its solubility, accelerates absorption, and reduces its potential for causing gastrointestinal discomfort. It is a popular ingredient in sports nutrition, vegan products, and hypoallergenic foods due to its excellent nutritional profile and clean label appeal.
Applications
Hydrolyzed Pea Protein is versatile and found in:
Sports Nutrition Products: Protein powders, ready-to-drink shakes, and protein bars where fast absorption is desired.
Vegan and Plant-Based Foods: Meat alternatives, dairy-free yogurts, and cheeses to boost protein content.
Functional Beverages: Clear protein drinks, nutritional shakes, and meal replacements.
Hypoallergenic Formulas: Used in specialized medical nutrition and some infant formulas where common allergens must be avoided.
