What proteins come from the European starch industry?

The European starch industry processes EU-grown maize, wheat and starch potatoes as well as peas, rice and barley, and valorises all the components of these raw materials to produce a broad range of innovative and traditional products and ingredients, including starches, fibres and plant-based proteins, with a wide scope of functionalities and uses.

Some of the most important proteins produced are:

• Wheat proteins such as vital wheat gluten and derivatives
• Maize gluten meal
• Potato protein
• Pea protein
• Rice Protein
