ADM expands protein portfolio with textured wheat and pea

New protein ingredients build upon ADM’s extensive portfolio, reaffirming ADM’s continued leadership in the plant protein market

ADM, a US based leading supplier of nutrition solutions for the global food and beverage industry based, has announced the launch of Arcon® T textured pea proteins, Prolite® MeatTEX textured wheat protein and Prolite® MeatXT non-textured wheat protein.

These highly-functional protein solutions improve the texture and density of meat alternatives, and are particularly useful for achieving consumer-preferred, meat-like texture.

Wheat Proteins

Prolite® MeatTEX textured wheat protein and its non-textured counterpart, Prolite® MeatXT wheat protein, contribute meat-like texture to meat and seafood alternative products. With clean taste and a blank-slate color base, these highly-functional proteins offer water absorption and hydration speeds that enhance processing efficiency and reliability.

Pea Proteins

Arcon® T textured pea proteins deliver improved hydration properties and can offer a higher PDCAAS score than other pea proteins on the market. With minimized off notes and a light color, these proteins are ideal for meat alternatives. These products do not require allergen statements, so they are perfectly suited for allergen-free products.

ADM’s OutsideVoice℠ Protein Segmentation Study found that the top factor motivating consumers in the plant-based category is health and nutrition, while unsatisfactory taste and texture are the top frustrations with the category. ADM’s textured pea and wheat proteins make it easier to overcome this barrier by creating better tasting products with improved texture and color.
