Most protein powders can interfere with the sensory qualities of food products: HIFOOD has chosen to tackle this problem by introducing Micro Protein.
This product combines high protein content (≥70%) with a fine particle size (<30μ) and low aromatic impact.
Micro Protein is suitable to enhance protein content in both sweet and savory applications, without compromising structure or consumer appeal.
One of the most important challenges in protein enrichment is to deliver products that not only have an improved nutritional profile but that are also pleasant to the taste and do not have issues such as a gritty mouthfeel or an unpleasant aftertaste.
For this reason, HIFOOD has created the Micro Protein which, thanks to its ultra-fine particle size, neutral taste, and easy integration, supports nutritional enhancement while maintaining process performance and sensory appeal.
With Micro Protein you can:
Increase protein content to support “source of protein” and “high protein” claims
Preserve smooth textures, taste profiles and product integrity
Elevate formulations with no need for major recipe adjustments
Improve homogeneity in liquid and powder-based systems
Develop products that align with cleaner label expectations
High protein content
≥70% protein on dry matter, contributing to achieving "source of protein" or "high protein" claims.
Micronized Form
Utra-fine particles (<30μ) for smooth texture and easy dispersion.
Minimal sensory impact
Mild flavor and color for broad compatibility.
Process friendly
Stable across thermal and mechanical processes.
Versatile
Usable in both cold and hot processes.
Natural origin
Yellow pea-based vegetable protein.
Thanks to its fine texture and neutral profile, Micro Protein is ideal for a wide range of applications, from conventional and gluten-free bakery to plant-based beverages and ready meals.
Bakery & Pastry (traditional and gluten-free)
Micro Protein enriches bread, muffins, biscuits and cookies without altering flavor or texture and improves nutritional value even in gluten-free bakery systems.
Cereal Bars & Snacks
Micro Protein supports protein claims in cereal bars.
Beverages
Micro Protein can be dissolved in instant powders and plant-based drinks, offering an excellent homogeneity and neutral taste for delicate profiles.
Fillings, Creams & Sauces
Micro Protein increases protein content without affecting texture, viscosity or flavor balance - suitable for both sweet and savory formulations.
Ready Meals
Micro Protein supports protein enhancement in soups and ready meals, ensuring a smooth texture and a perfect taste profile.
