- 嘉吉has put $75 million more去年从嘉吉（Cargill）投资了2500万美元，这是明尼苏达州的Puris，这是一家明尼苏达州的Pea Protein的生产商。
- The new funding will be used to more than double pea protein production at a 200,000-square-foot facility in Dawson, Minnesota. The company also has facilities in Wisconsin and Iowa.
- Puris provides non-GMO and organic pea protein options grown by a network of more than 400 U.S. farmers from its own proprietary seed.
潜水见解：
这增加了基于合资协议嘉吉（Cargill）和普里斯（Puris）去年加快豌豆蛋白生产加速的投资。
对于嘉吉而言，其与Puris的持续关系可以帮助基于明尼苏达州的农产品巨头逐渐增加其植物蛋白质组合，这很可能包括豌豆蛋白产品。在2016年1月至2018年12月之间，含有豌豆蛋白的食品和饮料的推出19％的复合年增长率，according to食品导航器引用的Innova Market Insights数据。
Puris的客户之一是超越肉类，它继续使用豌豆作为蛋白质的主要来源来促进其基于植物的产品的生产，according to CNBC。Beyond Meat also sources the ingredient from Roquette, a French food ingredient maker.
While pea-based protein has been popular in Europe and elsewhere, the U.S. market has been relatively small until recently. Extracted from dried and ground yellow split peas, pea protein is now showing up in everything from smoothies and protein bars to meat alternatives and yogurt. General Mills uses the ingredient in itsLarabar and Cascadian Farmsbrands连锁食品centered its entire brand around pea-based milk。
使用豌豆蛋白的其他基于植物的产品包括the Lightlife Burgerfrom Canada's Maple Leaf Foods, which also uses the protein in its ground meat, bratwurst and Italian sausage products.Ripple Foods'乳制品替代品和Good Catch Foods' fake tuna also rely on pea protein, as do a variety of protein powders,baked goods和smoothies.
This surging popularity has raised questions about supply. As makers of faux beef, chicken, seafood and dairy substitutes look to legume-based protein for their formulations, they're asking whether there will be enough pea protein to fuel market growth. But if Puris and other suppliers such as Roquette, Kerry and ADM are able to significantly enhance production, this issue might be resolved.
Besides peas, other popular plant-based protein sources include soy, whey and wheat. Some consumers avoid soy and wheat due to problems with allergies or gluten, while whey requires milk.专家说豌豆蛋白的生物利用度小于乳清或大豆，但使用动物蛋白可能更具成本效益。如果对豌豆蛋白的需求保持不变，嘉吉对普里斯的投资可以得到回报，并有助于确保供应，质量和可持续性。
