Market Definition

Plant-based protein is derived from plant-based sources, such as pulses, grains, and seeds. Plant-based protein sources include soy, wheat, peas, faba beans, canola, rice, and potatoes. Proteins are polymers of amino acids used in various applications for their nutritional and functional properties. Their potential to increase the nutritional level in a healthy diet makes them one of the key ingredients in the food and feed industries.

Milled protein flours are plant protein products with enhanced protein content (20–80%) and reduced starch levels (10–40%), produced through conventional milling combined with protein concentration techniques to achieve specific functional and nutritional profiles.

Starch-rich protein flours are plant-based flour products characterized by moderate protein content (15–35%) with substantial starch retention (35–55%), produced through mild processing techniques that preserve the natural macronutrient balance of the source material.
