Next-Generation Food Ingredients
Rubisco Protein Isolate - our Utopia Ingredient
Rubisco Protein Isolate (RPI) redefines what protein can be by delivering exceptional functionality, clean taste, best-in-class nutrition and a source of iron - all with the lowest embedded carbon footprint of any known protein.
RPI is a highly functional ingredient that outperforms animal proteins in many applications with superior emulsion stability, high foaming capacity and stability, smooth, creamy solutions and impressive gelling capability.
Cost competitive with other functional proteins, it has the potential to simplify formulation by replacing multiple ingredients.
Unlock Egg-Free Baking
Rubisco Protein Isolate replaces whole egg in baking while maintaining aeration, flavor, texture, and leavening.
