Amano Enzyme Brings Pea Protein Enzyme ProBoost Neutra to Fi Europe, Targeting Uses Beyond Shakes

Amano Enzyme, a Japanese enzyme manufacturer, will showcase its ProBoost Neutra, an enzyme treatment for pea protein isolate, at Fi Europe in Frankfurt from November 17 to 19. With a focus on expanding the use of pea ingredients beyond protein beverages, the company’s European R&D head, Dr. Antonio Sullo, emphasizes ProBoost Neutra's ability to enhance solubility, emulsification, and flavor while maintaining protein content. This innovative enzyme technology addresses key challenges in developing plant-based food and beverages and is designed for easy integration into existing production processes, eliminating the need for costly capital investments.

During the event, Dr. Sullo will present “Enzyme-Powered Pea Innovation,” discussing targeted enzyme treatments for pea protein applications, including opportunities in products beyond drinks. ProBoost Neutra, part of Amano's Plants Unlimited portfolio, replaces the alkaline step in the wet fractionation process, streamlining production. Amano’s commitment to creating organic and non-GMO enzymes aims to advance the future of plant-based foods, building on prior innovations such as Umamizyme Pulse, designed to enhance flavors in various plant proteins.
