More Than Protein Ingredients Inc.
Who we are?
• More Than Protein Ingredients Inc. (MTP)was
founded with a vision to do value addition to
peas and pulses at the source of production.
• MTP will be the first in Alberta to tap into the
fast-evolving plant-based pure ingredients
market by building the Next Generation
Protein Wet Fractionation Extraction Plant.
• MTP will be the first protein fractionation
project in Canada open to investors (includes
individual).
• The leadership team for MTP has extensive
expertise in the pulse market & has
expansive knowledge of plant-based
ingredients.

• Business Operations: MTP consists of three operations: A 50,000 MT Conventional Pulse Cleaning & Splitting
Plant, a 16,000 MT Organic Pulse Cleaning & Splitting Plant, and a 40,000 MT Pulse Protein Wet Fractionation
Extraction Plant. The operation will supply organic & conventional cleaned pulses, split peas, & pulse protein, fibre
and starch. MTP will build R&D, enzyme, and fibre refinement production lines, allowing MTP to develop new
commercial-scale products rapidly.
• Strategy: Complete pulse utilization with sales of both organic & conventional starch, pulse flour, protein, fibre,
along with cleaned pulses & split peas. Will target Food, Nutrition, Pet Food, Feed, and Pharma manufacturers.
MTP will take a first to market approach & focus on developing new & innovative plant-based ingredients.

MTP in Atlantic Canada
• MTP has been conducting R&D work
and expects with the technology
evolution and application of enzymes a
lower capacity fractionation would be
economically feasible.
• MTP has plans to expand its fraction of
peas into Atlantic Canada in future that
can process a capacity of 10,000
MT/yr.
• To make MTP’s fractionation plan in
Maritimes a success it is estimated
pea acres need to increase to 16,000
assuming an yield of 1.25 MT/acre.
