Pea starch is a new starch-based ingredient with a neutral taste, which is derived from yellow peas. It is rich in amylose, phytic acids, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, thiamine, saponins and oxalates. As it offers nutritional benefits, such as improving muscle growth and increasing metabolism, it is widely used as a binding, gelling and thickening agent in sauces, soups, noodles, pasta and meat products. Pea starch also provides a crispy coating to frying batters and acts as a binder in processed meats. As a result, it finds extensive application in feed, textile, cosmetics, food and beverage (F&B) industries around the world.

Pea starch is widely utilized in the preparation of bakery items, pasta, noodles and soups as it provides higher sustainability. Additionally, the widespread product adoption in the pharmaceutical industry for coating tablets and capsules and film-forming is positively influencing the market. Moreover, an increasing number of gluten-sensitive and health-conscious people are providing an impetus to the market growth. Pea starch is used as it has additional nutritional content, lower calorie content, and lactose and gluten-free formulation.
