Faba bean protein emerges as plasma replacement in wet pet food
Original: Faba bean protein offers plasma replacement options in wet pet food
Faba bean protein is being put forward as a functional substitute for animal plasma in wet pet food formulations, according to PetfoodIndustry. Spray-dried plasma is widely used in pet food for palatability and binding but faces cost and supply pressures, so plant proteins are gaining attention as alternatives. The report suggests faba bean protein can deliver similar functional benefits while supporting cleaner, more sustainable ingredient lists.
Why now: Pet food makers are actively seeking affordable, plant-based alternatives to animal-derived plasma amid supply and sustainability concerns.
