Pea protein isolate: Concentrated plant-based protein
Pea protein isolate is a high-quality, plant-based protein concentrate extracted from yellow split peas. Through a careful extraction process, fibers, starches, and fats are removed, leaving a very protein-rich, pure raw material. This isolate form contains up to 85–90% protein and is naturally free from gluten, lactose, soy, and other common allergens. Pea protein isolate is increasingly used as a protein source in food and supplements due to its good solubility and functional processability.
Applications of pea protein
Pea protein isolate is widely used in the food industry as a plant-based alternative to animal proteins. Thanks to its high protein content, allergen-free profile, and versatile functional properties, it is suitable for various product categories:

Frequently asked questions
Yes, it contains all nine essential amino acids.
There is no difference in origin between pea protein and pea protein isolate; both are extracted from yellow peas. The distinction lies in processing: a concentrate typically contains around 60% protein, while an isolate contains over 80% protein and thus fewer fats, carbohydrates, and fibers.
