Additionally, Nutratein, a canola protein composed of globulin and albumin, finds utility in meat and egg alternatives, alongside various other functional plant-based foods. Further expanding its offerings are Nutratein-PS and Nutratein-TZ, custom blends featuring its Peazac pea protein, alongside CLARISOY, a soy protein employed across sports nutrition beverages, citrus and fruit-flavored drinks, lemonades, powdered beverage mixes, and diverse other food and dietary items.
