Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Chickpea Protein — answered by our export team.
Our Chickpea Protein Isolate (from Cicer arietinum) contains 80–85% protein on a dry weight basis, verified by Kjeldahl/DUMAS method at NABL-accredited labs. It is rich in all essential amino acids with notably high arginine content (8–9 g/100 g protein) — a key muscle-building amino acid valued in sports nutrition and plant-based food formulations.
Yes. Chickpea Protein is naturally free from dairy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, fish, and shellfish allergens. Chickpeas are not classified as a top-8 allergen under US FALCPA or EU allergen regulations. It is 100% non-GMO and can be produced gluten-free (below 20 ppm) with dedicated allergen-controlled processing. Suitable for clean-label, vegan, and allergen-sensitive food product formulations.
Chickpea Protein Isolate offers excellent water solubility (above 90% at neutral pH), strong emulsification capacity, foaming functionality, and gelling properties. These make it ideal for RTD protein beverages, plant-based meat analogue binding, egg-replacement in bakery (aquafaba-type functionality), dairy alternative formulations, and protein bar texturizing applications.
MOQ is 100 kg. R&D/development sample quantities of 1–5 kg are available for product formulation teams at nominal cost. A 20 ft container holds 8–10 MT. Standard packaging: 20 kg and 25 kg multi-layer kraft paper bags with PE inner liner. Custom bulk bags (500 kg–1 MT) and private label retail sachets (500 g, 1 kg pouches) available for qualified buyers.
Every batch is tested for: protein content (Kjeldahl/DUMAS), full amino acid profile (HPLC), aflatoxin (below 10 ppb — critical for chickpea-derived products), heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg within Pharmacopoeia limits), pesticide residues (EU MRL compliant), microbial safety (TPC, Salmonella negative per 25 g, E. Coli, Yeast & Mold), moisture content, and bulk/tapped density. Full COA from NABL-accredited labs accompanies every export shipment.
Chickpea Protein is used in plant-based meat analogues (burgers, nuggets, sausages), protein bars and snacks, RTD protein beverages, sports nutrition powders, bakery fortification, pasta and noodle protein enrichment, infant nutrition, and vegan egg-replacement formulations.
