Plant-based proteins
Prolupin produces plant-based proteins for lupin-based food. Prolupin’s proprietary technology enables the extraction of concentrated, sensory-neutral protein isolates from lupins. Alongside other food ingredients, the company develops, produces and markets non-dairy yoghurts, drinks, ice cream and other consumer products under its “LUVE” brand.
Plant-based proteins have a smaller environmental footprint than most animal-derived ones. Moreover, lupines are among the more sustainable of protein crops, thanks to their ability to grow on poor and arid soil with little to no fertilisers or agrochemicals. This also enables them to be grown locally in many regions, allowing them to reduce the carbon footprint for transport. Finally – and equally important – lupine products are healthy, non-GMO and Prolupin has proven they can be very tasty.
