Puratein C, a 90%+ high-purity canola protein isolate created to satisfy the rising demand for clean-label, nutritionally complete plant proteins, is now being sold commercially for the first time by Burcon NutraScience Corporation, a global technology leader in plant-based protein innovation.

“The first sales of Puratein canola protein mark another step in scaling Burcon’s innovation into the market,” said Kip Underwood, Burcon’s chief executive officer. “By leveraging our technology platform, we are creating sustainable, high-quality proteins that drive new opportunities for customers and revenue growth.”

This milestone further validates Burcon’s growth strategy to establish recurring revenue from multiple products. By leveraging its technology platform and production capabilities, Burcon is expanding its addressable market across a broad range of high-growth product categories. This milestone highlights Burcon’s ability to upcycle solvent-free agricultural by-products into high-value ingredients, further reinforcing its commitment to delivering high quality and sustainable protein solutions.

Puratein C is a high-purity canola protein isolate with over 90% protein content, extracted from non-GMO, North American-grown canola seeds. It features a complete amino acid profile, including all nine essential amino acids, and delivers a Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1. With its high solubility, light cream colour, and mild flavour profile, Puratein C is ideal for a wide range of food and beverage applications — from dairy alternatives and ready-to-drink beverages to meat analogues, sauces, and baked goods — and also for foodservice, nutrition and nutraceutical products.
