What it is

Enzyme-modified fermented pea protein is a plant-based protein ingredient derived from peas. It is produced through a process involving fermentation and enzymatic modification, which breaks down the protein into smaller peptides and changes its functional properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use this ingredient to improve the texture, emulsification, and water-binding properties of food products. It is often found in processed meats, plant-based meat alternatives, and other savory food items where enhanced protein content and improved texture are desired.

Health notes

Enzyme-modified fermented pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar protein ingredients, but specific evaluations for this modified form may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research on the specific health impacts of highly processed plant proteins is ongoing.

Allergen info

Peas are not among the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. This ingredient is derived from peas and is not expected to contain gluten.
