Pea fiber is obtained through dry or wet milling of yellow peas, separating the fiber-rich fraction from the starch and protein components. It contains a high proportion of insoluble dietary fiber, primarily cellulose and hemicellulose, along with minor amounts of soluble fiber.
The ingredient exhibits excellent water-holding capacity, which contributes to improved texture, shelf life, and yield in food products. Pea fiber has a clean, neutral flavor that does not alter the taste profile of finished products. It is a non-GMO, allergen-free ingredient that supports clean-label formulation trends in the food industry.
