Faba-tein™ Fava Bean Protein
Building Better Structure. Naturally.
Faba-tein™ Fava Bean Protein is a highly functional plant protein isolate delivering approximately 90% protein content with a clean flavor profile and versatile formulation performance. Produced from premium fava beans – also known as broad beans – Faba-tein™ supports food and beverage applications requiring high protein levels, clean-label appeal, and strong functional characteristics.
Naturally rich in plant protein and essential nutrients, fava beans provide a balanced nutritional profile containing all 9 essential amino acids along with naturally occurring fiber, folate, manganese, copper, and other micronutrients. Faba-tein™ offers a mild flavor profile that helps minimize the earthy or bitter notes commonly associated with many plant proteins, making it well suited for a wide range of plant-based applications.
Beyond protein fortification, Faba-tein™ contributes valuable functional benefits including water-binding, emulsification, and gel-forming properties that help support texture, moisture retention, structural integrity, and mouthfeel in high-protein formulations.
Whether developing meat alternatives, improving moisture retention, supporting bakery structure, extending shelf life, or creating clean-label protein systems with exceptional functionality, Faba-tein™ provides formulators with versatile fava bean ingredient solutions.
The Faba-tein™ portfolio includes high-purity fava bean protein ingredients. Faba-tein™ proteins are developed for meat alternatives, protein bars, bakery products, dairy alternatives, beverages, and other high-protein formulations. Faba-tein™ delivers exceptional formulation flexibility by helping manufacturers build structure where it is needed, retain moisture where it matters, and create products with superior texture and lasting quality.
