Fuji Plant Protein Labs (FPPL), a manufacturer of protein-packed, 100% plant-based, gluten-free ingredients, proudly announced today that the company is launching their Glucodia® / MuPI brand into the commercial foodservice, processed foods, and sports supplement markets.
MuPI/ Glucodia® is such a flexible ingredient that its use in everything from baked goods, gluten-free fitness protein powders, pasta, protein bars, smoothies, mayonnaise-type condiments, egg-protein alternatives, and breakfast products are unequaled. Shelf life and use are similar to traditional flour for baking except for added health benefits and easier digestibility over traditional wheat.
MuPI / Glucodia® is a plant-based protein isolate made from mung beans, standardized to a total crude protein content of more than 80% (High protein type. MuPI / Glucodia® is a self-affirmed GRAS and is a safe and secure food ingredient.
Incredible success has been achieved in FPPL sample studies evaluating possible health benefits to consumers. Easier digestibility, rich in essential amino acids and better flavor when compared to soy, pea, and hemp protein substitutes are some of MuPI/Glucodia®’s strengths. It’s these benefits that are good news for food producers that want to boost nutritional value and source plant-based protein to their current processed food lines and health supplements.
MuPI /Glucodia® is a natural off-white color flour and is a non-soy, non-GMO, nut-free, mung bean product produced using our chemical-free processing technology.
