Mung Protein

Mung protein is derived from mung beans and is known for its balanced amino acid profile, smooth dispersion, and neutral taste. It is naturally gluten-free and soy-free, and it’s available in organic formats. Functionally, mung protein supports emulsification, water binding, and texture formation in a wide range of systems - from shakes and bars to plant-based meats and dairy alternatives. 

Its mild character makes it a versatile base for products that aim for cleaner labels and approachable flavor without masking agents or heavy seasoning. 

Mung protein shows up in more places than you might expect. Here’s how it fits into different categories: 

• Sports Nutrition – Used in protein powders, blends, and bars. Mung protein contributes to smooth mouthfeel and steady nutrition, and it pairs well with pea or rice to round out amino acid targets. 

• Beverages – Adds protein to smoothies and ready-to-drink shakes while dispersing cleanly. Suitable for low-acid and neutral pH systems that need stability without chalkiness. 

• Dairy Alternatives – Helps create creamy, even textures in plant-based yogurts, drinkable yogurts, frozen desserts, and cheese-style products. Supports protein claims and a consistent body. 

• Prepared Foods – Used in soups, sauces, and ready meals to boost protein and improve viscosity and cohesion. A good fit for allergen-conscious recipes. 

• Plant-Based – Contributes structure and bite in meat alternatives like patties, meatballs, and deli-style slices. Works well in combination with other plant proteins for tailored textures. 

• Organic – Available in certified organic grades to meet consumer expectations for clean, responsibly sourced ingredients. 

• Protein level  

• • Concentrate: typically 60–70% protein per 100 g 

• • Isolate: typically 80–85% protein per 100 g 

• Solubility and particle size - Standard or instantized grades for faster dispersion and smoother beverages. 

• Flavor profile - Mild and neutral; select grades for lower beany notes based on your flavor system. 

• Process fit - Align with pH, heat treatment, and shear conditions for beverages, cultured products, or formed foods. 

• Packaging - Bags, totes, or custom formats sized for your line and storage needs. 

• Quantity - We’ll review minimum order quantities and ramp plans to match your launch and forecast. 

• Certifications - Blendtek is SQF certified, Kosher certified, and Organic certified. Certification-specific grades are available.
