A PLANT-BASED CHEESE WITH PEA PROTEIN

For brands eyeing the plant-based cheese alternative space, PURIS 2.0 pea protein developed by Cargill represents a significant advance. The new pea protein helps provide structure and functionality to vegan cheese, while offering an improved flavor profile and increased solubility. This combination of attributes results in plant-based dairy products, including vegan cheese, with better overall sensory profiles and allows formulators to achieve significantly higher protein levels. PURIS 2.0 delivers improved texture, creamier mouthfeel, and enhanced flavor, and when used alongside Cargill’s starches and lecithins, makes it possible to produce a plant-based cheese alternative with good functionality and meltdown.

The powder and the liquid versions have standardized activities. With consistent enzyme activity from lot to lot, the guesswork regarding the potency of the enzyme is removed, so the cheesemaker can concentrate on the variables within the milk and not worry about the activity of the rennet. Thistlezyme is also non-GMO and meets the USDA organic requirements. It is a true vegetarian rennet that can produce cheeses with unique flavors and textures.
