Plant proteins are sustainable source of nutrition which can be used as meat and dairy analogues. They are much cleaner for the environment when compared to animal proteins.
About
We, at Unibourne provide speciality ingredients procured from trustworthy sources around the world. We create value for our customers by ensuring that only the best quality ingredients with excellent logistics and supply chain support are delivered to them via broadest gamut of ingredients the industry can offer. That is why our motto stands for “Bringing the World of Food Ingredients to Your Doorstep”. With our carefully sourced ingredients, we want to help the food industry transition their products to a more superior and healthy quality. The food sector is about to enter a decade of significant upheaval. As consumer preferences change, meat consumption is decreased or eliminated, and demand for other food types grows, unprecedented development in plant-based alternatives has the potential to drive this shift. The key drivers of this shift being consumer’s choice in taste, price and accessibility. Alternative proteins may soon rival animal proteins in taste, texture, and price, triggering a new wave of expansion that will catapult what is currently a very fledgling sector into the mainstream, providing major environmental advantages and allowing for even faster growth. Consumers are focused on plant-based eating for several reasons: eating clean, having more energy, having a healthier lifestyle, environmental/sustainable causes, and better animal care. Each plant protein contributes a different property both in terms of technological functionality and health aspects. Hence, we offer a plethora of plant protein powders that can become tailor-made as per your requirements. We bring to you our portfolio of plant proteins keeping in mind the dynamic changes and constant influx of products in the market. With the ever-growing sources to combine for a complete plant-based protein formulation, there are many different ingredients you may try to formulate your product with. Contributing to making India a Vegan Epicentre, we offer pea protein, isolated soy protein, brown rice protein, mung bean protein, hydrolyzed wheat protein, chick pea protein and extruded soy nuggets. Not only do we provide ingredients but we also extend our services with technical support and prototype/concept development. We can recommend the most suitable plant protein depending on the kind of nutritional benefits, technological aspects or label claims that you want to make. The chosen path of plant proteins is the future of sustainable agriculture and continuous supply. We as a company have a responsibility of moral leadership and anchoring veganism is one of them. It is the foresight of the society as decision makers to find these opportunities and take advantage of them. We must contribute to push India as a global vegan economic powerhouse. Plant protein is the solution to environmental, nutritional, and other societal concerns associated with animal-intensive agriculture. Promising alternative protein source with high potential
Key Benefits
General overview 1. Hypoallergenic options 2. High in Branched Chain Amino Acids 3. Increase satiety and supports weight management. 4. Unique processing techniques make it possible to reduce anti nutritional factors 5. Balanced concoction of protein powders can give good quality protein and high PDCAAS 6. High level of overall digestibility 7. Metabolizes quickly making it ideal for post-workout recovery. 8. With the right processing techniques, plant protein products can produce exact organoleptic properties of traditional meat. Pea Protein 1. With Protein content of 80-85%, they are excellent in delivering neutral tasting proteins. 2. Hypo-allergenic 3. Easily digested when compared to whey 4. Amino acid profile is similar to Whey, but Pea Protein is high in lysine, arginine, (better muscle growth and act as a fuel during workouts) and phenylalanine (stimulates fat oxidation, best for pre workout meals). 5. Prolongs satiety owing to its ability to lower ghrelin levels, which is a hunger stimulating hormone Brown Rice Protein 1. Free from typical plant protein odour and taste. 2. Rice protein powders have got 80% protein and are considered as one of the plant proteins with the most clean taste. 3. Hypo-allergenic - a better alternative for individuals with dairy, soy and/or gluten allergies 4. Easy digestibility and metabolizes quickly making it ideal for post- workout recovery. 5. Not a complete protein but it contains high amounts of many essential amino acids. It can be complemented with other protein powders 6. It has 19% BCAAs (dairy protein casein has typically 20% BCAAs) 7. Includes unique peptides that reduce weight gain Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein 1. We have Soluble Wheat protein having excellent application in Plant based beverages and Mock meats. 2. High amount of glutamine and proline which are essential for high intensity training. 3. High level of overall digestibility. 4. Beneficial effect on muscle mass growth. 5. Increase satiety and support weight management. 6. No anti-nutritional factors. 7. Water binding, emulsifying. 8. Acidic and thermal stability. Mung Bean Protein 1. Promising alternative protein with high potential 2. Antinutritional factors which are naturally present in raw mung are degraded during processing 3. Mung bean protein has been shown to reduce visceral fat (potential of improving BMI), improve blood sugar levels, and serum lipid 4. A novel functional ingredient as it has “High gel strength” Chickpea Protein 1. Next generation of plant proteins owing to its functionality and Nutritional properties. 2. Hypo-allergenic 3. A target ingredient for enhancing nutritional, physicochemical, texture, and sensory characteristics of functional foods that can be claimed for high nutritional value and good quality. 4. Suitable ingredient for a wide spectrum of foods. Extruded Soy Nuggets 1. Promising alternative protein with high potential. 2. Textured Soya Protein with various shapes – Round, Oval, Barrel. 3. Different protein content - 60%, 75%,80% and 90%.
