An expanded snack containing AM Nutrition pea fractions and a beta-glucan rich oat fiber was successfully produced by FoodProFuture project platform, fulfilling nutritional and health claims.

AM Nutrition is an active partner in FoodProFuture project platform, a 39 mill. NOK project funded by the Research Council of Norway (BIONÆR program nr. 267858), in which NMBU, NTNU, NIBIO, NOFIMA and a number of research and industrial partners are working together to further develop knowledge on pulses and other plant proteins in the Nordic countries. Application of pea fractions in snack production is one of the areas covered in the project and where AM Nutrition products have been tested.

An expanded snack containing AM Nutrition pea fractions and a beta-glucan rich oat fiber (Swedish Oat Fiber AB) was successfully produced, fulfilling nutritional and health claims for:

• High protein
• Cholesterol lowering effect
• Reduced post-prandial glucose response.
