Pea protein

Pea protein is a food additive with a neutral taste that is used in dairy alternatives such as cheeses[1] and yogurt.[2] It is extracted from the yellow pea, Pisum sativum, and has a typical legume amino acid profile.

The genotype of the pea plants affects properties of the protein.[3] Pea protein contains Legumin, which has some similar properties to Casein, and pea protein products are promoted as an alternative to whey protein.[4][5] Some marketing of pea protein is based on consumer concerns around genetic modification of soy plants.[6][7]
