Pea protein powder is a high quality protein that is extracted from pea by using advanced technology at low temperature and low pressure .Pea protein contains 18 kinds of amino acids that are necessary for human body and belongs to complete protein. Protein is the material basis of life and the three major components of the human body. Protein deficiency can lead to growth retardation, low immunity, skin relaxation and early aging.
 
Nutritional value: pea protein is a kind of protein material separated from peas, which is mainly used to make milk substitute foods, such as non dairy pure cheese and yogurt. It is mainly extracted from yellow pea (Pisumsativum) and contains typical bean amino acids. Different species of pea plants will affect the characteristics of protein. Pea globulin isolated from pea protein has some characteristics similar to casein, so pea protein products are often used to replace whey protein food. As consumers are worried that soybean products may be modified by genetic chemicalbook, some marketing demands of pea protein food are to replace soybean products. Pea protein is usually used to increase the protein content of smoothies and milkshakes, because it is a natural vegetarian and hypoallergenic food, which is suitable for almost any diet. Pea protein is a high-quality protein and an important source of iron. It can help muscle growth, weight loss and heart health. Pea protein contains a certain amount of amino acids. It has its own health benefits. Pea protein is rich in vitamins A, D, e and K.

 
Application: because pea protein has good functional characteristics, such as solubility, water absorption, emulsification, foaming and gel formation, it can be used as a food additive in meat products processing, snack food, etc. to improve product quality and nutritional structure. 1. food: adding pea protein and pea powder to steamed bread can effectively improve the flour properties and improve the nutritional value of steamed bread. When the content of pea protein is 4% and the content of pea powder is less than 10%, the sensory score of steamed bread is higher than that of steamed bread without protein and pea powder. At the same time, the addition of pea protein and pea powder can effectively delay the aging of steamed bread and prolong the shelf life of steamed bread; Adding pea protein powder to noodles improved the flour properties and the nutritional value of noodles; 2. feed: 35% pea protein isolate was added to the fish feed, which had adverse effects on the digestion and intestinal tract of Atlantic salmon; The weight of broilers decreased significantly when pea protein powder was used instead of soybean protein concentrate and soybean meal; The saccharification of pea protein affects the significant growth of intestinal symbionts, especially Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These changes in microbial composition have a beneficial impact on the intestinal environment and promote human health.
