The transparent, pea protein is expected to be available for customers looking to purchase commercial-scale market development quantities beginning in July of this year, according to the company.
Planning and engineering for this semi-works production plant began in the summer of 2012. Equipment orders are now in-place and, subject to timely delivery, Burcon projects to have the facility completed and operational by mid-year.
Peazazz is created through a proprietary patent-pending process that delivers a highly purified product with a greater than 90% protein concentration on a moisture-free basis. The Peazazz protein extraction technology produces a pea protein that has exceptional flavour characteristics and is completely soluble and transparent in beverage applications with a pH below 4.0.
