One Process: Two Product Streams – Zero Waste
Functional proteins and resistant starches from a single, clean-label dry fractionation platform. Taste, sustainability, and cost-efficiency combined.
Why Plant-Based Is Not Working (Yet)
Consumers are turning away from current plant-based options due to taste, transparency, and health concerns.
Consumer Rejection (48%)
48% of consumers abandon plant-based foods due to poor taste and gritty mouthfeel. Healthy options must taste great first.
Limited Functionality & Off-Flavors
Soy, pea, and wheat proteins dominate but often offer weak binding, poor texture, and bitter legume off-flavors.
Clean-Label & Health Demands
81% prefer clean-label foods, while 63% of consumers seek gut-health benefits that conventional plant ingredients fail to deliver.
The Dual-Output Platform: Functional Proteins + Resistant Starches
Functional Proteins (No Soy/Wheat)
High-quality protein concentrates from chickpea, lentil, and hemp — 50-70% cheaper than isolates, with superior taste and clean-label positioning.
Resistant Starch Type 3 (RS3)
A gut-health prebiotic fiber co-produced alongside proteins. Lowers glycemic index, extends bakery freshness by up to 3 days, and adds a valuable second revenue stream.
Why Manufacturers Choose Protenova
We combine proprietary thermal processing with highly efficient dry fractionation to solve the taste, functional, and financial barriers of conventional plant protein production.
Partner With UsClean Taste (77% Less Bitterness)
Our thermal treatment eliminates bitter off-flavors, achieving 77% bitterness reduction in meat alternative patties with stronger binding.
Extended Bakery Freshness (+3 Days)
Softer crumb, longer freshness, and lower glycemic index in bread and bakery applications.
Zero-Waste Dry Fractionation
No chemical washing, no wastewater. Our process uses 100% of the raw material with significantly reduced water and energy footprint.
Scientifically Validated
