Plant-Based Meat FAQs

What makes PURIS pea protein ideal for plant-based meat?

PURIS pea protein delivers firm texture, neutral flavor, and strong water- and fat-binding properties — essential for burgers, crumbles, sausages, and more. It offers clean, meaty structure without the need for masking agents or flavor enhancers.

Does PURIS protein have a beany or bitter flavor?

No. All PURIS protein ingredients start as tailored seeds, which prevent our final proteins from being bitter or having grassy notes common in many pea proteins. The result is a clean taste that won’t overpower savory meat profiles.

Is PURIS pea protein textured or extrudable?

Yes. PURIS offers protein powders that perform well in high-moisture and low-moisture extrusion, enabling fibrous, meat-like textures in plant-based applications. PURIS also offers textured pea protein.

What kinds of plant-based meats can I make with PURIS protein?

PURIS protein works in a wide range of meat analogs, including patties, nuggets, deli slices, meatballs, crumbles, and sausages. It’s suitable for both refrigerated and frozen formats.

What’s the typical usage rate of PURIS protein in plant-based meats?

Usage typically ranges from 10% to 35%, depending on texture goals, fat inclusion, and whether it’s the primary protein or part of a blend. Our team can help dial in the right level for your product.

Does PURIS protein hold moisture and fat during cooking?

Yes. PURIS protein has excellent water- and fat-binding capacity, helping retain juiciness and reduce cookout in plant-based meat formats.

Does PURIS offer formulation support for alt meat development?

Yes. Our technical team works closely with R&D and culinary teams to refine taste, texture, and performance for commercial-scale plant-based meats.
