Roquette Introduces 4 New Pea Protein Ingredients for Improved Taste and Texture in Plant-Based Foods

The French company , which right now operates in more than 100 countries through more than 30 manufacturing sites, broadens its portfolio with four specialized pea protein components: NUTRALYS® Pea F853M (isolate), NUTRALYS® H85 (hydrolysate), and two textured variants, NUTRALYS® T Pea 700FL and NUTRALYS® T Pea 700M. Meanwhile, NUTRALYS® H85, Roquette’s inaugural food-grade hydrolyzed pea protein, is said to be perfect for snack bars and beverages, promoting a soft texture and high protein content without compromising viscosity. NUTRALYS® T Pea 700M and NUTRALYS® T Pea 700FL are designed for crafting plant-based products with authentic textures—700M for a firm, chewy experience in meat-free options, and 700FL for a fibrous, juicy texture suitable for chicken and fish alternatives .

These components, going to Roquette, replicate the taste and texture of meat while as well streamlining the manufacturing process, offering cost and energy savings.
