Plant protein for plant-based dairy alternatives
Plant-based dairy alternatives have a growing flexitarian fan base that goes far beyond vegetarians and vegans. This is thanks to prevailing trends around personal health, sustainability and animal welfare. As nature-derived, familiar ingredients with positive consumer health perceptions, plant proteins serve as the backbone for these products, providing protein enrichment and key functionality.
Hybrid products, combining dairy and plant-based protein, are also increasingly appearing on the shelves. These products leverage the best of both worlds: the indulgence provided by animal proteins and the nutritional improvement and diverse protein profile afforded by plant-based proteins. In either case, pea protein is rapidly establishing itself as a preferred plant protein solution: pea protein is making big strides forward in popularity and use in new launches of plant-based dairy alternatives is growing.
The protein range for plant-based dairy alternatives/hybrids
Cargill’s pea proteins are suitable for both pure plant-based alternatives to dairy and use in plant-animal protein blends for hybrid dairy solutions. They easily replace milk proteins in traditional dairy applications, allowing the creation of new non-dairy formulations. Furthermore, they pair well with dairy proteins in hybrid formulations.
Benefits:
- Nutrition – Protein enrichment
- Texture variety
- Smooth, creamy and spoonable texture
- Good solubility and stability at different pH
- Mild flavor versus other pea proteins
- Great emulsification and whipping properties

Product Offer
We offer 2 brands to serve your specific needs for color, taste profile and functional performance in application. Both can be used in alternatives to dairy products with a wide range of desired textures from liquid to creamy and from smooth to firm gel, in neutral and acidic conditions. Either of the two branded pea protein solutions can be a good replacer (or partially) of milk protein in i.e. plant-based (frozen) desserts, alternatives to dairy-based cheeses & yogurts, non-dairy-based creams, plant-based alternatives to milk and plant-based baking margarine.
