About This Business

AP Proteins is an Australian company specializing in the production of high-quality plant-based proteins. The company focuses on processing pulses, specifically faba beans and mung beans, which are grown as a dry land, broad acre crop in Australia. These pulses are used as 'break' crops by grain farmers due to their ability to 'fix' nitrogen back into the soil, making them a valuable component in rotational crop farming. AP Proteins processes these pulses to extract the protein in a powder form that is shelf-stable and ready for distribution to food and beverage manufacturers. One of the key advantages of AP Proteins' products is the neutral taste of their faba bean and mung bean proteins, which makes them suitable for direct addition into existing food and beverage products without the need for masking through flavor additives. The company's proprietary process ensures that the protein powders have a neutral off-white color, fine texture, and excellent solubility, making them ideal for food formulations. As a source of leguminous proteins, AP Proteins' products are considered valuable sources of amino acids, often regarded as nearly as valuable as animal proteins or used as an alternative to them. With Australia producing over 400,000 tonnes of faba beans annually, AP Proteins is well-positioned to capitalize on this abundant resource. The company's commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of nitrogen-fixing crops that require no fertilizers, reducing crop input costs and environmental impact. AP Proteins' products are designed to meet the growing demand for plant-based ingredients in the food and beverage industry, offering a high-quality, sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources. By providing a versatile and functional protein powder, AP Proteins enables food manufacturers to create a wide range of products that cater to the increasing consumer interest in plant-based diets. With its focus on innovation, quality, and sustainability, AP Proteins is poised to become a leading supplier of plant-based proteins in the global market.
