Products rich in protein are a popular choice as health awareness rises. In addition to animal protein sources, the demand for vegetable alternatives is increasing. The pea as a raw material is increasingly coming to the fore as a healthy protein supplier. The Emsland Group has a product line of pea-based proteins under the brand name Empro®. With a proportion of at least 84% protein, Empro® pea protein isolate has made a name for itself in numerous applications as an alternative to animal or dairy-based protein sources. This makes it possible to develop an attractive range of vegan meat alternatives, convenience products and sports nutrition.
