also has an excellent essential amino acids profile and very good emulsifying, foaming, thickening and binding properties, making it a suitable solution for egg replacement. Thanks to plant-based ingredients such
as those derived from faba beans, it is now increasingly possible to meet consumer demands for ‘good for me’ and ‘good for the planet’ products, while offering cost reduction potential without compromising on taste and texture.
Roquette breaks new ground Roquette recently launched its NUTRALYS® Fava S900M fava bean protein isolate in Europe and North America – the latest addition and first protein isolate derived from fava bean in Roquette’s NUTRALYS® plant protein range.

high-protein plant-based product portfolios. “Part of the pulse family, fava beans have long been valued for their properties in textured applications, but in recent years, the focus has shifted to its ability to deliver high protein levels and leverage sensory attributes. Through extensive research and development, we have been able to unlock the immense potential of fava beans in protein fortification,” said Romain Joly, Global Head of Proteins Business Line at Roquette. “The launch of NUTRALYS® Fava S900M marks a significant milestone in the advancement of our range of alternative protein solutions, building on Roquette’s reputation and expertise for offering a compelling blend of sustainability, functionality and taste, while simultaneously setting a new plant protein standard.”
Taking formulation further As well as its exceptionally high protein content, NUTRALYS® Fava S900M stands out from other alternative proteins for its superior functionality and versatility. Boasting high gel strength, viscosity control and stability under varying conditions, the ingredient provides formulation flexibility – ideally suited for non-dairy products, such as ready-to-drink beverages and yoghurt, and meat substitutes, including chicken or fish alternatives. Additionally, its neutral taste and light colour
make it the perfect base for creating palate- pleasing products, giving manufacturers endless possibilities for flavour development, without
compromising aesthetics. Data from evaluations carried out by Roquette’s sensory expert panel validates its improved overall flavour and reduced bitterness compared to other available fava bean protein isolates, enabling brands to deliver an enhanced eating experience.

Beyond its favourable technical and sensory attributes, NUTRALYS® Fava S900M offers compelling sustainability and supply chain advantages too. Part of the pulse family, fava beans are considered a sustainable raw material, which present significant agronomic advantages like those of peas. This includes a natural nitrogen-fixing capacity in soil, which allows farmers to grow fava beans without the aid of nitrogen fertilisers. In addition, Roquette’s fava beans are locally sourced and manufactured at its production plant in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada, making NUTRALYS® Fava S900M a strategic option for food manufacturers looking to diversify, while also meeting sustainability goals.
“At Roquette, we’re committed to the continuous advancement of sustainability and innovation. With NUTRALYS® Fava S900M, we’re not just introducing a new ingredient; we’re offering a solution that addresses the evolving needs of the industry while prioritising environmental responsibility,” adds Benjamin Voiry, Marketing – Plant Proteins at Roquette.
