Ingredients with adjuvant activity in food preparations, also for HME (High Moisture Extrusion) and TVP (Texturized Vegetable Protein).
HiWeiss Srl is an innovative start-up that has been involved in applied research since 2018 for the development, production, and marketing of new plant-based protein products, isolates, and concentrates, as well as derived products such as High Moisture Extrusion and Texturized Vegetable Protein.
Soy and peas are grown in Italy in a controlled supply chain, free from GMOs, from seed of selected genetics reproduced in Italy. The supply chain is based on the agronomic principles of regenerative and conservational agriculture. In the patented and protein-sparing extraction process, HiWeiss guarantees the complete utilization of by-products in the sense of a circular bioeconomy.”
Fact 1
100% EU soy and peas
Soybeans and peas are grown in a controlled supply chain in Italy, free from GMOs, using seed produced in Italy from selected and suitable genetics with regards to protein profile and suitability for the extraction process.
Fact 2
100% Ecological
Agricultural supply chain based on the agronomic principles of conservative and regenerative agriculture.
Fact 3
100% Functional
Patented extraction process that preserves the structural properties of the native protein, which determine its biological functionality and can be used for technological purposes.
HiWeiss produces plant-based proteins using two patented processes that stand out for their nutritional value and functionality – both biologically and technologically. The proteins are isolated and concentrated from non-GMO peas and soybeans, and are available in gel or powder form.
Their use in the food industry is extremely versatile, especially because HiWeiss’ extraction process is patented and unique.
In fact, HiWeiss is able to preserve the structural properties of the native protein throughout the entire production process. The extraction process is so gentle that even the extracted protein from organic soybeans and peas is eligible for organic certification. The quality of the protein is also guaranteed by avoiding the use of strong inorganic acids during the extraction process. The result is a protein of unparalleled value, also from a health perspective.
HiWeiss proteins not only have a high nutritional value but also serve as ingredients in food preparations for thickening, emulsifying, fat and water retention, as gelling agents, stabilizers, and flavor enhancers, thanks to their balanced amino acid profile.
HiWeiss proteins are textured wet and dry products with unique properties.
The by-products, the cornerstones of HiWeiss’ circular bioeconomy process, are whey, soy fiber, and pea starch.

HiWeiss
In the production of its protein and textured isolates and concentrates, HiWeiss guarantees the complete utilization of by-products such as whey, fibers, and starch in accordance with a circular bioeconomy.
Soy fibers and pea starch, by-products of the patented HiWeiss process, are used in both food and livestock industries. Serums, probiotics, and additives are valued for plant care and nutrition.
