How do you preserve the naturally occurring and fragile live enzymes of the pea protein without destroying them during processing? Is the protein heated during the formulation process?
Nutribody Protein isn’t heated during formulation. It’s mixed from raw ingredients. As for the processing of the rice and pea protein used as raw ingredients in the formula, they are not heated. The process used is enzymatic, which means heat must be kept low or the enzymes would be destroyed. As described in Jon Barron’s newsletter series on protein:. • Rice Protein To make concentrated rice protein, whole brown rice is ground into flour then mixed with water. Natural enzymes are then added sequentially to break down and separate out the carbohydrates and fibers from the protein portion of the slurry. Since the process is enzyme based, temperature must be kept low to preserve the enzyme activity levels. Low temperature and chemical free processing prevent the denaturing of amino acids, as is frequently seen in soy and dairy processing. • Pea Protein Pea protein is the concentrated natural protein fraction of yellow peas.
