Pea Starch is suitable for various applications in food and animal feed production

The product is rich in amylose, which promotes its gel-forming properties. Pea starch is majorly available as a by-product of protein extraction. Therefore, it is considered to be a relatively cheap source of starch compared to corn, wheat, and potato starches. Moreover, in the search for new food protein resources, small commercial facilities are engaging in manufacturing protein concentrates from pea by air classification or wet milling techniques. However, the major products from these processes are either crude or refined pea starches. Modified pea starches are used for diversified industrial applications. For instance, cross-linked starches are widely used in the food industry majorly as thickeners where high and stable viscosity is needed.
