Plant Protein Bulk —
B2B Wholesale
for EU Industry

FDCM supplies pea protein isolate (≥85%), soy protein isolate (≥90%), rice protein (≥80%), and dairy proteins (WPC 80, MPI 90) for hybrid formulations. Minimum order is 25 kg (1 bag) for all products — no volume commitment required. Pallet quantities (600 kg, 24 bags) available with preferential pricing. All products ship from Warsaw, Poland via DSV road freight with 2–5 business day lead time across the EU.

Soy protein isolate has the highest plant protein DIAAS at 0.90, followed by pea protein isolate at 0.82. Whey protein (1.09) leads all sources. However, pea protein has a key advantage: no EU allergen declaration required (unlike soy). For nutritional completeness, the pea+rice 70:30 blend achieves DIAAS >1.0 — equivalent to animal protein — by combining pea's lysine strength with rice protein's methionine content.

The industry-standard blend is pea protein isolate 70% + rice protein 30%, achieving DIAAS >1.0. This combination compensates the methionine/cysteine deficit of pea protein (limiting amino acid) with rice protein's complementary profile. At 25–40 g serving, leucine delivery is sufficient for mTORC1-mediated muscle protein synthesis. The Babault et al. (2015) RCT demonstrated equivalent muscle gains vs whey protein over 12 weeks at 25 g/day.

Pea protein isolate is the leading choice for HMMA at 65–75% moisture in twin-screw extruders — producing fibrous, anisotropic texture comparable to chicken breast. Soy protein isolate is used as a co-ingredient (10–15%) to improve elasticity and colour. Extrusion parameters: barrel 130–160°C, die 90°C. For burger patties, 20–25% pea protein delivers 15–20 g protein/100g product. Native potato starch (2–4%) improves moisture retention.

All plant proteins supplied by FDCM are non-GMO. Documentation provided with every delivery: Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with HPLC protein content, microbiological results, heavy metals; Safety Data Sheet (SDS); Technical Data Sheet (TDS); Allergen Statement; Non-GMO Declaration. CoA available before order for qualification purposes. Contact contact@fdcm.eu for documentation requests.

Pea protein isolate (≥85% protein db) is produced by aqueous extraction and isoelectric precipitation, removing most starch, fibre and anti-nutritional factors. Concentrate grades (65–80%) retain more of these components, resulting in stronger beany flavour, lower solubility, and reduced functional properties. For beverage applications, RTD protein drinks and meat alternatives, isolate grade is strongly preferred. Concentrate may be used in bakery applications where flavour masking is easier.

Shelf life: 24 months from production date when stored correctly. Storage requirements: cool, dry warehouse <25°C, relative humidity <65%, away from odours and pests. Packaging: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags with PE inner liner (moisture barrier). Plant proteins are hygroscopic — reseal immediately after use. Do not store near strong-smelling materials as proteins absorb odours readily.

Yes — pea protein isolate and rice protein are naturally gluten-free and can be used in GF bakery. However, cross-contamination risk with cereals must be verified in the production facility. FDCM provides allergen statements confirming absence of gluten cross-contamination per batch. For GF bread, optimal formula: pea protein isolate 5–8% + native potato starch 25–35% + psyllium husk 2–3% — all available from FDCM.

The FDCM product search on this page allows you to search across 27+ food ingredient categories including plant proteins, dairy proteins, amino acids, hydrocolloids, sweeteners, vitamins and flavours.

Standard lead time: 2–5 business days for Western and Central EU (Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, etc.) via DSV road freight from Warsaw, Poland. Incoterms DAP — delivered to your door. For Eastern EU (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece): 3–6 business days. Urgent orders: contact us for express options. All orders confirmed within 4 business hours of inquiry.

Yes — sample requests are handled via contact@fdcm.eu. Standard sample size: 500g–1 kg for qualification purposes. Sample shipment typically 3–5 business days. Please specify: product, grade, intended application and required documentation. We respond to all sample and commercial inquiries within 4 business hours.

Soy protein isolate (≥90% protein) excels in: (1) Meat analogues — superior emulsification and gelation vs pea for sausage-type products; (2) Tofu and soy-based fermented products; (3) High-protein beverages where highest DIAAS (0.90) and neutral flavour are needed; (4) Emulsified meat systems. Key limitation: EU allergen declaration required (soy is mandatory allergen under Regulation 1169/2011). For allergen-free formulations, pea protein is preferred.
