Your Protein Might Be Holding You Back

Most proteins perform adequately on paper. But in application — under heat, in acidic pH, at the front of a consumer's palate — they start to underperform. PURIS ingredients are formulated for the specific demands of individual food and beverage applications, with performance data to back the final outcome before you even hit the test kitchen.

Finished Food & Beverage FAQs

Does PURIS white-label finished food and beverage products?

No — PURIS does not do white-labeling or co-manufacturing. But as an ingredient supplier with an experienced and nimble team, we partner with brands of all sizes to help overcome challenges and perfect formulations for food and beverage products.

 

What order quantities does PURIS accommodate?

PURIS works with food and beverage manufacturers at a range of scales, from emerging brands sourcing ingredients for early-stage formulation all the way to large CPG manufacturers operating at full production volume.

For smaller brands, startups, or individual formulators looking to get started, PURIS Pantry carries pea protein in quantities sized for smaller runs and product development.

For commercial manufacturing volumes, our sales team works directly with you to structure supply agreements that fit your production needs. Contact us to discuss commercial quantities.

Does pea protein affect the taste of finished food and beverage products?

Pea protein can introduce off-notes — including bitterness and a beany aftertaste — when sourced from suppliers with less refined processing methods. PURIS pea protein is specifically processed to minimize these sensory challenges.

In blind consumer taste testing, 8 out of 10 consumers preferred the taste of products made with PURIS pea protein over competing alternatives, making it one of the most palatable pea protein options available for finished product formulation.

Can pea protein be used in acidic beverages like sports drinks or functional RTDs?

Yes, but not all pea proteins are formulated for low-pH environments. Standard pea protein isolates can lose solubility and develop off-notes at acidic pH levels (below 4.5), creating cloudiness and texture problems in RTD and RTM formats.

For clear beverage applications requiring up to 90% protein content, PURIS ClearP™ — a hydrolyzed pea protein — is designed to stay in solution without affecting clarity or flavor.

Are PURIS ingredients suitable for gluten-free snack and cereal formulations?

Yes. PURIS pea protein and pea starch are naturally gluten-free and work in both gluten-containing and gluten-free snack and cereal formats.

For gluten-free applications where structure and binding are harder to achieve, pea starch provides a clean-label alternative to modified starches, helping maintain texture and shelf stability without compromising certification requirements.
