Published purpose

Peas (Pisum sativum) are one of the main pulse crops, extensively grown in Western Canada. The demand for peas and their fractions continue to increase due to their known nutritional and health benefits, as well as growing demand for gluten free products. However, the beany flavour of pea protein presents challenge in using pea ingredients in a broad range of food products. This study will develop novel processing technology for pea protein using hydrodynamic cavitation and membrane filtration.
