Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
The complete plant protein that’s free from major allergens
Royal DSM, a global purpose-led science-based company, has announced the launch of Vertis CanolaPRO, a high-quality canola protein isolate. This milestone follows more than 10 years of research and development at DSM to unlock the healthy protein from the canola seed and produce it at scale for the food industry.
Canola seeds, also known as rapeseeds, are one of the world’s few available plant sources of complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids required for good health. Vertis CanolaPRO will allow food and beverage producers to develop plant-based products that offer complete proteins and are free from major allergens.
It increases protein levels in plant-based food and beverages and does not contain major allergens. When used as part of a protein blending strategy, Vertis CanolaPRO is highly complementary to proteins from legumes and cereals and fills in gaps in essential amino acids. The functional benefits improve the bite and texture of meat and fish alternatives.
