Improve texture, increase protein and reduce fat with Nuverta Pea Protein Concentrate
For example, chicken contains up to 30.9 g of protein per 100 g, while many plant-based products struggle to reach similar levels. At the same time, texture can be too soft, dry or crumbly, and products may fall apart during cooking.
Nuverta Pea Protein Concentrate is a simple and effective solution to increase protein content, reduce saturated fat, and improve texture in both blended and plant-based products.
Common challenges in plant-based and blended products
1. How to increase protein content
Plant-based formulations often rely on ingredients like TVP, which makes it difficult to reach high protein levels comparable to meat.
2. How to improve texture in meat alternatives
Consumers expect a firm, juicy bite. Without the right ingredients, products can feel dry or lack structure.
3. How to bind ingredients effectively
Fat, water, and plant proteins do not always combine well, leading to unstable or crumbly products.
4. How to reduce saturated fat without losing quality
Reducing fat often negatively impacts taste and mouthfeel.

Nuverta Pea Protein Concentrate helps food manufacturers overcome these challenges in a natural and efficient way.
