Biesterfeld expands its portfolio with hydrolyzed pea protein in Europe
Vegan Clear Protein for modern beverage concepts
Hamburg, 30. March 2026 – Biesterfeld, one of the internationally leading distribution and service companies in the field of polymers, rubber, specialty chemicals and ingredients, is expanding its portfolio of functional ingredients. Effective immediately, the distributor is offering hydrolyzed pea protein with an 85% protein content in Europe. The product is specifically designed to meet the growing demand for clear, plant-based protein solutions for innovative beverage and supplement concepts.
Clear Protein Solutions for Modern Applications
Biesterfeld is opening up new possibilities for the development of modern “clear protein” applications. Enzymatic hydrolysis breaks down the protein in a targeted manner, resulting in clear solutions that stand out distinctly from traditional, creamy protein shakes. This enables manufacturers to create light, refreshing, and protein-rich products with a transparent appearance.
The focus is on positioning it as “Vegan Clear Protein.” The product combines a high protein content of 85% with fast and stable solubility - even in cold applications. As a 100% plant-based alternative, it also offers excellent tolerability, as it is lactose-free and hypoallergenic. Its neutral to slightly distinctive taste makes it easy to flavor and complements fruity and refreshing flavor profiles.
Vegan Clear Protein is right on trend in modern product development
“With hydrolyzed pea protein, we are strategically expanding our portfolio to offer a solution that taps into the current trend toward clear, plant-based protein beverages,” says Björn Becker, Product Manager Nutrition. “Our customers benefit from a combination of high functionality, excellent solubility, and versatile applications. We are happy to support the development of innovative product concepts with samples and application-specific recommendations.”
