Unlocking faba’s power: functional benefits for pet food
In pet food, functionality is crucial for meeting nutritional needs while ensuring the right taste, texture and consistency. Faba protein, derived from faba beans, excels in delivering these essential qualities.
Nutritionally, faba protein is a high-quality option, offering over 60% protein content and a well-balanced profile of essential amino acids that are readily available.
Faba protein excels functionally too. It is highly soluble, and it binds, emulsifies and gels.
High-performance plant-based protein
These attributes are most relevant in wet pet food, where they contribute to creating a homogeneous product with consistent texture, taste and feel, preventing the product from falling apart and improving its shelf life.
Livalta’s tests demonstrate how effectively faba protein performs in comparison with other plant-based proteins (see Solubility graph below).
The power of faba: proven functionality
Livalta understands the challenges and opportunities associated with plant-based proteins. Livalta Faba P60 not only delivers proven functionality, but also aligns with the company’s standards for nutrition and sustainability.
