Burcon NutraScience Corporation has announced the successful commercial production and official launch of FavaPro, its 90%+ high-purity fava protein isolate. This milestone marks the latest addition to its growing portfolio of its next-generation plant-based protein ingredients for food, beverage, foodservice, nutrition and nutraceutical product applications.
As consumer demand for healthy and sustainable protein alternatives continues to grow, it has developed a proprietary process to extract and purify protein from fava beans—an environmentally friendly, nutrient-rich legume known for its high protein and fibre content. Like yellow peas, fava beans are nitrogen-fixing crops that improve soil health and reduce the need for synthetic fertilisers, making them an environmentally friendly ingredient source for product developers and manufacturers.
Kip Underwood, Burcon’s chief executive officer, said, “The commercial launch of FavaPro marks an important milestone in Burcon’s growth strategy and demonstrates our ability to efficiently scale and diversify production at the Galesburg facility. FavaPro was one of the most sought-after plant proteins at the recent IFT FIRST tradeshow. By adding this premium ingredient to our portfolio, we are meeting accelerating demand, enhancing Burcon’s position as an innovation leader in the rapidly growing plant protein market.”
