What is Pea Protein Concentrate?
Pea Protein Concentrate is a plant-based protein ingredient derived from yellow split peas (Pisum sativum) through a process of milling, air classification, or wet extraction to concentrate the protein content, typically achieving 80% or higher protein on a dry basis. It is a complete protein source containing all essential amino acids (with the exception of methionine, which is present in lower amounts), making it a highly valued ingredient in the growing plant-based and alternative protein food sector.
Polychem Industries supplies Food Grade Pea Protein Concentrate to plant-based food manufacturers, sports nutrition companies, bakery ingredient suppliers, and beverage producers across India and internationally. Its allergen-friendly profile (free from common allergens like soy, dairy, and gluten), neutral flavour compared to other plant proteins, and excellent functional properties make it one of the fastest-growing protein ingredients in the global food industry.

Used to fortify baked goods, pasta, and snack products with additional protein content, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking higher-protein food options without using animal-derived ingredients.
Plant-Based Beverages
Used in plant-based protein shakes, smoothies, and beverage formulations as a protein source, often combined with other plant proteins to achieve a more complete amino acid profile.
Snack Foods
Used in protein-fortified snack products including crackers, chips, and bars, where its functional properties contribute to texture while boosting the protein content of the finished snack.
