HiFood introduces Micro Protein, a micronized pea protein solution designed to meet the growing demand for protein-enriched foods. With its clean label, allergen-free formulation, and fine granularity, Micro Protein enhances protein content in various applications, including baked goods, meat analogues, sauces, soups, and beverages, without altering flavor or texture.
HiFood’s Micro Protein stands out with its fine granulometry, achieved through a proprietary process that reduces particle size to below 30 microns without water. This advanced technology ensures a high level of neutrality in taste, color, and sensory impact. Unlike other protein sources, which may contain allergens like milk, eggs, or soy, Micro Protein offers a clean, allergen-free option.
With over 72% protein content, Micro Protein allows manufacturers to enhance product protein levels with smaller quantities compared to traditional solutions. This enables products to carry labels such as ‘source of protein’ or ‘high in protein.’
Addressing common challenges with pea and legume proteins, particularly the unwanted ‘beany’ taste, HiFood has developed Micro Protein to be as neutral and non-intrusive as possible. Through collaboration with open innovation partners, HiFood has refined physical, mechanical, and biotechnological processes to ensure the product’s versatility and minimal impact on final product quality.”
