Company Produces ‘Breakthrough’ Plant-Based Protein

New York-based biotech company Pureture has developed a plant-based protein that is said to be comparable to animal-based protein in supporting muscle gains. The yeast protein has a complete amino acid profile, making it more effective at aiding muscle recovery and growth after exercise than many individual sources of plant-based protein. Pureture's protein is comparable to dairy in protein content, with more than 50 percent amino acid content, and has emulsification properties similar to casein found in cow's milk.

Pureture has introduced a clean-label protein shake made with its yeast protein, setting a new standard in alternative protein innovation. While whey and casein from cow's milk are popular animal-based components of protein shakes, Pureture believes its plant-based shake is an ideal solution for anyone working on muscle development. The company has also developed a plant-based casein made from yeast for use in dairy alternatives, providing a sustainable and healthy option for consumers looking for plant-based alternatives to traditional animal-based proteins.
