ChickP Protein Ltd. is an Israeli-based company that produces protein isolate from chickpeas.
ChickP has a patented procedure for extracting protein from chickpeas that contains a high percentage of protein (up to 90% pure).[1][2][3] The company also produces a chickpea-based starch.[4]
Company History
The company was founded by Ram Reifen in 2016.[5] Ram Reifen is an Israeli academic scholar and a professor of Human Nutrition, and the former Director of the Centre for Nutrigenomics and Functional Foods at The Robert H Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environment, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[6]
Reifen studied and developed a process to extract an almost-pure protein powder from chickpeas. According to Reifen, chickpeas have “several unique attributes that make it a particularly successful source for meat, fish and dairy-product substitutes”.[7]
ChickP Isolate protein powder is currently used by companies that produce a variety of meat, eggs, and dairy replacements.[8][9][10][11]
