Featuring rice protein, vital wheat gluten, and faba bean protein concentrate, with each offering specific nutritional and technical benefits, BENEO’s range of plant-based proteins provides everything manufacturers need to tap into this trend. With a range of versatile solutions that can also be combined, BENEO’s vegetal proteins provide high-quality concentrated and non-GMO sources, with excellent amino acid profiles which enable the development of plantbased or hybrid pet foods. According to the company's statement, BENEO’s vital wheat gluten also offers a high protein density of approximately 80%. It delivers an interesting amino acid profile, as it is rich in glutamine, which is the preferred fuel for intestinal cells that can help repair damaged cells, as well as tyrosine, which plays an important role in maintaining fur color.

Its amino acid profile is relatively rich in lysine and can nicely complement cereals’ protein, meaning it can notably be blended with rice protein or vital wheat gluten.
