Pea protein has surged in popularity in recent years as a sustainable, nutritious, and functional plant-based protein. PISANE® is a leading brand of premium pea protein from COSUCRA that delivers unmatched quality and performance for a wide range of applications. As a trusted PISANE® pea protein supplier, Gillco is proud to provide this exceptional ingredient to our customers.
Let’s explore the benefits and applications of PISANE® pea protein and why Gillco is your ideal pea protein supplier.
What Is PISANE® Pea Protein?
PISANE® pea protein is derived from yellow peas (Pisum sativum) through a clean and gentle water-based extraction process. The result is a highly concentrated protein (80-85%) with a well-balanced amino acid profile, excellent digestibility, and a smooth, clean flavor.
Available in fine powder form, PISANE® pea protein is suitable for a broad spectrum of food, beverage, and supplement applications. Its superior functionality allows it to be easily incorporated while maintaining or enhancing the desired taste and texture of the finished product.
PISANE® is non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, making it an ideal choice for vegan, vegetarian, and "free-from" formulations. It is also environmentally friendly, with peas having a low water footprint and helping to fix nitrogen in soil.

How Can You Use Pea Protein at Home and At Scale?
The functional and sensory properties of PISANE® lend it to use in a wide variety of retail and wholesale products:
Protein Powders and Shake Mixes
PISANE® is an excellent choice for plant-based protein powders and RTD beverages. Its high protein content, smooth mouthfeel, and neutral flavor profile allow formulators to create great-tasting, highly nutritious products. PISANE® can be used as the sole protein source or in blends with other proteins like rice, hemp, or sacha inchi.
Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives
PISANE® is a popular ingredient in plant-based milks, yogurts, ice creams, and cheeses. It provides protein fortification while contributing to a creamy, rich texture and mouthfeel. PISANE® works well with other bases like oat, almond, or coconut to create delicious non-dairy products.
Nutrition Bars
The emulsifying and binding properties of PISANE® make it ideal for nutrition bars and snack bars. It can help improve bar hardness, texture, and shelf-life. With its light color and low aftertaste, PISANE® complements other ingredients and allows for clean flavor profiles.
Snacks and Cereals
PISANE® is a nutrient-dense ingredient that can increase the protein content of extruded snacks, chips, crackers, and breakfast cereals. It has low expansion properties which enable the creation of high-protein crisps and puffs. PISANE® can also help with binding and adhesion of topical seasonings.
Specialized Nutrition
The excellent digestibility and hypoallergenic nature of PISANE® make it suitable for specialized nutrition products like infant formula, medical foods, and meal replacements. It can provide essential amino acids and help with protein malnutrition, muscle wasting, and weight management.
Animal and Pet Nutrition
Beyond human food, PISANE® pea protein is also used in animal feed and pet food. It is a high-quality alternative to animal proteins that provides essential amino acids for growth and development. PISANE® can be used in treats, kibble, canned foods, and veterinary diets.
