The Health Food Emporium's vegan protein is a fermentation-derived protein isolate (FDPI) obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae commonly known as baker's/brewer's yeast. Through a fermentation, extraction and purification process, the non-protein components (fats and polysaccharides) are removed, leaving a clean, high-quality protein isolate containing no whole or viable yeast cells in the final product.
It is a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), with a protein content of minimum 80% and a Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0 the highest possible score, equivalent to whey protein.
The Health Food Emporium's vegan protein is rich in lysine, naturally contains beta-glucans, and is heat-stable, making it suitable for both hot and cold, sweet and savoury applications.
