Pea protein peptide sourcing for Latin America requires more than comparing a protein percentage. Importers and formulators in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and the Caribbean also need a clear peptide specification, microbiological limits, contaminant controls, packaging information and documentation that can be reviewed before shipment.
What is the specification?
The current Pea Protein Peptide TDS specifies both protein and peptide contents at 90% minimum on a dry basis. The material is described as a pale yellow to milky white powder or uniform particles. Moisture and ash are each limited to 7.0% maximum, the pH range of a 10% solution is 2.0-7.0, and bulk density is 0.15-0.45 kg/L.
Which applications should buyers evaluate?
Potential applications include protein and peptide blends, powdered nutritional products, and food and beverage formulations. Suitability is formulation-specific. Buyers should evaluate taste, dispersion or solubility, processing behavior, compatibility with other ingredients and finished-product stability before commercial adoption.
Which quality documents matter?
A supplier review should include the current specification or TDS and a batch Certificate of Analysis. The TDS includes limits for total plate count, yeast and molds, coliforms, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, together with limits for lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. Ochratoxin and aflatoxins are specified as negative under the applicable test methods. The TDS itself is not a batch COA.
