Emlichheim, Germany \u2013 05 November 2026 \u2013<\/strong> The Emsland Group is expanding its ingredient portfolio with Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000, a nutrient-dense pea flake made from whole yellow peas. The new ingredient gives food manufacturers an additional option for developing snacks and bakery products with higher protein and fiber content, combining nutritional benefits with appealing sensory properties and straightforward processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000 is a thermally treated pea flake that brings the natural nutritional profile of whole yellow peas into a convenient ingredient format. With approximately 23% protein and 15% fiber on a dry matter basis, it provides a versatile building block for more nutrient-dense food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting the next generation of healthier snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Consumers are increasingly looking for snacks that offer more nutritional value while remaining enjoyable and affordable. For manufacturers, meeting these expectations requires balancing nutrition with taste, texture, processing efficiency, and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000 provides flexibility in product development, with a flake format suitable for a variety of snack and bakery applications. Its nutritional potential has been demonstrated in a baked snack application, where a formulation containing Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000 achieved almost three times more protein and twice as much fiber compared with the original formulation. At the same time, the resulting snack maintained the crisp texture, color, and taste expected from a baked potato chip and qualified for the nutrition claims \u201chigh in protein\u201d and \u201chigh in fiber.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutrition and sensory performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Improving the protein and fiber content of a product can affect texture, flavor, appearance, and processing behavior. Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000 combines the nutritional benefits of whole yellow peas with the functionality of a thermally treated flake, helping manufacturers pursue nutritional improvements while maintaining the sensory characteristics consumers expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHealthy snacks have moved from niche to mainstream,\u201d says Andre Heilemann, R&D Director at the Emsland Group. \u201cEmpure\u00ae EF 1000 gives our customers greater flexibility when developing products with higher protein and fiber content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A versatile addition to the ingredient portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000 complements the Emsland Group\u2019s broader portfolio of plant-based ingredients, which offers different ingredient formats and functional properties to meet specific product and nutritional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000, manufacturers can explore new possibilities for protein- and fiber-rich snacks and bakery products \u2013 from nutritional enhancement of existing products to new product concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empure\u00ae<\/sup> EF 1000: another option for creating the snacks consumers are looking for today \u2014 with more protein, more fiber, and no compromise on enjoyment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
