Pea Fiber
Plant Fibre for Water Binding and Fibre Enrichment
Pea fibre is a functional plant fibre obtained from the hull (outer fibre) or inner fibre of yellow peas, with neutral taste, light colour and high water-holding capacity. It works as a water and fat binder in meat and meat-alternative products, as a fibre enricher and moisture retainer in bakery and as a structuring agent in gluten-free products, helping reduce the load of phosphates and some hydrocolloids in clean-label formulations. PERDIST compares total dietary fibre, water-holding capacity (WHC), particle size, colour and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale pea fibre requests and offers inner and outer fibre grades with their documents. For wholesale pea fiber PERDIST proposes a lot from your water-binding expectation, particle size and application; a sample and the technical data sheet accompany the quotation. For meat and bakery producers the packaging and delivery plan follow the production calendar. A small sample quantity can be arranged for trial runs.
