Canadian company Burcon NutraScience Corporation has announced the first commercial sales of its Puratein®C canola protein. This high-purity protein isolate, extracted from non-GMO, North American-grown canola seeds, has over 90% protein content and a complete amino acid profile. It is suitable for various food and beverage applications due to its high solubility, light cream color, and mild flavor profile. The ingredient is designed to meet the increasing demand for clean-label, nutritionally complete plant proteins.

Burcon has been expanding its plant-based protein portfolio, with recent acquisitions and production agreements in Illinois. The company's Chief Executive Officer, Kip Underwood, expressed optimism about the new sales of Puratein canola protein and highlighted the opportunities it creates for customers and revenue growth. Burcon's innovative approach to producing sustainable, high-quality proteins aims to drive further success in the plant-based protein market.
