Title:
Novel extraction of pea protein
Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

Agreement Date:
Jan 2, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
In the previous project SPP 005-1 the collaborator made significant progress
in the development of novel extraction process for pea protein isolates based
on using high pressure and temperature for the pre-treatment of yellow peas.
Analysis of the pea protein isolate showed improvements in protein yield and
reduced beany flavour. Using whole peas instead of pea flour would greatly
reduce extraction costs and increase the efficiency of protein extraction for the
industry. With this goal in mind, the project will evaluate combinations of highpressure pre-treatment and protein extraction conditions (temperature, time,
isoelectric point), as well as protein washing as the key steps to enhancing
the reduction of off-flavours and anti-nutritional factors.
