FABA BEAN PROTEIN

Product Overview

Plant Protein Isolate | min 87% Protein | Australian Grown | Non-Solvent Extracted | Neutral Flavour

Faba Bean Protein is a fine, light-cream powder made from Australian-grown faba beans, delivering a minimum of 87% protein on a dry basis (typical 86.9 g/100 g). It is produced by a proprietary, non-solvent wet extraction process and has a neutral colour, flavour, and odour with aqueous solubility of 80–85% at pH 7.

Two things make it stand out for manufacturers. First, it is Australian grown and made end-to-end — a genuine local-provenance plant protein at a time when supply-chain origin and food-miles matter to buyers. Second, the non-solvent extraction and neutral sensory profile mean it carries none of the beany, bitter off-notes that limit some plant proteins, and none of the major allergens — it is free from gluten, soy, dairy, and nuts, and is Non-GMO, Halal, and Kosher (Pareve) certified. That combination makes it a clean, versatile protein base for plant-based products across the board.

How Food & Beverage Manufacturers Use This Ingredient

Faba Bean Protein is used by manufacturers as a neutral, high-protein plant-protein base. Typical applications include:

• Plant-Based Meat Manufacturing: Supplies structural protein, binding, and protein content in plant-based burgers, sausages, mince, and nuggets, contributing texture without the allergen burden of soy.
• Plant-Based Dairy & Beverage Manufacturing: Used as a protein source in dairy-alternative milks, yoghurts, and high-protein drinks, where its neutral flavour and 80–85% solubility support smooth, drinkable products.
• Sports Nutrition & Protein Powder Manufacturing: Formulated into vegan protein powders, shakes, and blends as an allergen-friendly, Non-GMO protein delivering a complete amino-acid contribution.
• High-Protein Bar & Snack Manufacturing: Boosts protein content in bars, bites, and baked snacks, enabling "high protein" and "plant-based" label claims.
• Bakery & Pasta Fortification: Lifts the protein content of breads, pasta, and baked goods while keeping flavour neutral.
• Soup, Sauce & Emulsion Manufacturing: Provides protein fortification and emulsification/binding in savoury wet products.
