Yellow peas

Wet Method

Raw material: Reception, color sorting & screening
Pre-treatment, Key difference between the methods: Soaking 18–22 h
Extraction & separation: Wet milling & slurrying → separation → protein slurry
Treatment: Formulation → sterilization → homogenizing, HACCP critical control point, 136–145 °C
Drying: Spray drying
Packaging: Packaging, HACCP critical control point, Metal detection

Pea Protein

Color: Light yellow to milk white
Taste/Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy
Taste Flavor: Slight fermentation note

Dry Method

Raw material: Screening, dust removal & color sorting
Pre-treatment, Key difference between the methods: Dehulling & superfine grinding, no soaking
Extraction & separation: Alkaline extraction → centrifuge → acid precipitation & washing
Treatment: Neutralization → flash sterilization → homogenizing, HACCP critical control point, 136–145 °C
Drying: Spray drying
Packaging: Packaging, HACCP critical control point, Metal detection

Pea Protein

Color: Bright yellow to yellow
Taste/Mouthfeel: Slightly granular
Taste Flavor: Natural, retains pea flavor
