Puratein® Canola Protein

As a novel plant-based protein source, our line-up of Puratein® canola protein present unique opportunities for manufacturers. While other attempts to extract protein from canola have formed dark and bitter product, our proprietary technology creates a clean protein ingredient with a neutral flavor profile that offers excellent solubility and stability over a range of pH levels.

Non-GMO

The industry’s only non-GMO canola protein

90% Protein

High purity levels

Neutral Taste

For seamless integration into your formulation

Merit’s proprietary canola protein extraction process is solvent & hexane-free , and starts by cold-pressing non-GMO seeds.

Protein is extracted at low temperatures to keep flavor and nutrients intact, for a high-quality canola protein.
