SUMMARY
s North Americans, we tend to overload on
protein at supper. Statistics show that when
breakfast is consumed (and there are many breakfast
skippers among us), the protein content makes up
only about 8 percent of the total calories, while the
majority of protein shows up on our supper plate.
Eating the right amount of high quality protein
at the right times is essential to immune health.
It is also important for building muscle mass and
keeping you energized, which can help you to lose
and maintain weight.
If you’re eating too much animal protein, you might not be
consuming enough fruit and vegetables, which is a recipe
for nutritional disaster, particularly for digestive health. In
periods of illness or acute episodes of inactivity, the extent
to which you recover lost muscle mass after these episodes
is very dependent on your nutritional status, and protein is a
key factor in the recovery process. Additionally, foods rich in
soluble fiber produce significant cholesterol-lowering effects,
contribute to stable blood glucose levels and provide satiety
(the feeling of fullness).
“…health and performance
all in one easy ingredient.”
Profi 100 and Profi 200 fill the gap for food processors to have
health and performance all in one easy ingredient. These nonGMO, plant-based, complete protein and fiber boosters are
the perfect replacement in numerous products for higher fat
soy (which is a known allergen) and more expensive meat and
dairy sources.

Introduction
As North Americans, we tend to
overload on protein at supper. So how
do you get both a high quality protein
and sufficient fiber to provide health
benefits, without the excess fat and
calories? As more consumers want
to increase quality protein and fiber
throughout the day, there needs to
be delicious healthy options for them
at breakfast, lunch and supper. Up
until now, the ideal solution to add
both protein and fiber in one simple
ingredient has not been available in the
marketplace.
“One Solution to add
both Vegetable Protein and
Fiber in Ideal Proportion.””
Consumers want to take control of their health
and address the issues that are important to them
throughout their lives. This includes digestive,
fitness, heart and immune health. High-protein,
high-fiber offerings are showing up across all
categories, from beverages to baked goods. One
of the reasons for this includes scientific support
that higher protein diets are part of a nutrition
strategy to preserve lean mass, promote weight
loss, prevent weight-regain following weight loss,
or simply maintain a healthy weight throughout
the life span. Usually, high protein diets are high
in fat and lack fiber, and we know that increased
fiber intake is linked to a number of positive health
benefits, including digestive health, heart health
and increasing satiety to help control weight. The
challenge is to get the balance right. One solution
is to include sources of plant foods that have both
protein and fiber in the diet.
PROTEIN
WE KNOW THAT EATING ENOUGH HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN IS IMPORTANT THROUGHOUT OUR
LIVES TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN MUSCLES AND
SUPPORT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. For adults, the
recommended protein intake is 56 grams per day
for men and 46 grams per day for women, or 0.8
grams of protein per body weight in kilograms
per day. Eating the right amount of high quality
protein at the right times is essential to building
muscle mass and keeping you energized, which
can help you lose and maintain weight. Eating
protein which increases satiety (feeling full) has
the ability to influence total energy consumption due to its difference in metabolism (when
compared to its carbohydrate and fat counterparts). Protein at each meal can provide satiety,
and in the long-term, can help with weight management. That is why it is important to include
quality protein at breakfast and lunch and not
overload only at supper. Protein consumption
can also influence thermogenesis (a metabolic
process during which your body burns calories to
produce heat). In fact, higher protein content in
food is directly related to higher thermogenesis.
This metabolic response, along with lower total
caloric intake (due to the satiety factor), can have
a positive effect on weight management.
A reduction in muscle mass and functional
capacity is an inevitable consequence of aging.
The uncomplicated progression of sarcopenia
(the gradual loss of muscle mass) results in a 3% to
8% reduction in muscle mass per decade, starting
in the fourth or fifth decade of life. During this
early period, small decrements in muscle mass or
function may be readily masked by subtle lifestyle
adaptations. However, advanced sarcopenia is
synonymous with physical frailty and associated
with an increased risk of falls, and impairment in
the ability to perform routine activities of daily
living.
3
In hospital settings and elderly populations,
malnutrition and sarcopenia are often seen
in parallel, but the same is also true for obese
people of all ages. There is a concern that
when the body’s protein and energy needs are
not met by the diet, muscle is broken down to
provide amino acids, which can impair immune
response, increase the risk of infection, slow
down or stop healing, and even cause ulcers
and other issues, all of which translate into
longer hospital stays and increased likelihood
of readmission.
Both Profi 100 and Profi 200 deliver on
performance, with a mild clean taste and
smooth texture to enhance a variety of food
products with plant-based protein and fiber.
FIBER
tract. It adheres to dietary cholesterol and stops
it from being absorbed into the bloodstream,
helping to prevent heart disease. Soluble fiber
also slows the absorption of carbohydrates,
assisting blood sugar levels to remain stabilized
over a long period of time. Fiber also acts like a
sponge by soaking up water inside the digestive
system, which promotes satiety.
Dr. Peter J. Jones, Canada Research Chair in
Functional Foods and Nutrition, and Director of
the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and
Nutraceuticals in Winnipeg, explains, “There is
conclusive scientific evidence to support these
three main benefits of a diet high in fiber. They
include: 1) reducing risk of coronary heart disease
by lowering total cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels; 2) reducing
risk of diabetes by reducing glycemic response;
and 3) benefiting obesity prevention and
management by increasing satiety and reducing
energy intake. All these three main health benefits
can be partially attributed to the gut microbiota
altering capability of dietary fiber.”
NUTRIENT DENSE, HIGH FIBER DIETS HAVE
BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH POSITIVE EFFECTS
FOR DIGESTIVE HEALTH, HEART HEALTH
AND IMPROVEMENTS IN BLOOD GLUCOSE
CONTROL. As adults, we should aim for 38 grams
of total fiber per day for men and 25 grams of
total fiber per day for women. Statistics suggest
that North Americans don’t eat enough fiber.
There are two types of fiber in the diet. The first
type is insoluble fiber. This consists of naturally
occurring plant materials that your body cannot
digest. This type of fiber promotes digestive
health by preventing constipation, and has
been shown to decrease the risk of some types
of cancers, including colon cancer. The second
type is soluble fiber or functional viscous fiber,
such as the beta-glucans found in oats. This type
of fiber acts as a binder in the gastrointestinal

PROTEIN
AND FIBER
FOR RESULTS
How do you get both a high quality protein
and fiber to provide all of these
health benefits? Profi 100 and Profi 200 are revolutionary
solutions for adding concentrated, plant-based, complete protein and
soluble fiber to food and beverages. They contain a proprietary blend
of vegetable proteins producing a complete protein option without
dairy or meat sources. In addition, Profi 100 and Profi 200 have the
benefit of cane fiber, a soluble fiber in the form of short-chain fructooligosaccharides that is a gentle, well-tolerated fiber that favorably
stimulates the gut microbiota. They also contain high oleic sunflower
oil, containing monounsaturated fat, known for its heart and weight
management benefits. Combined, these ingredients give you a simple,
functional, innovative ingredient to meet the need for high quality protein
with fiber in many food and beverage applications.
The ideal solution to add
both protein and fiber in one
simple ingredient did not
exist in the marketplace until

to smaller polypeptide chains via hydrochloric
acid and protease actions. This is crucial for the
synthesis of the essential amino acids that cannot
be biosynthesized by the body.
and Amino Acids
Proteins are essential nutrients for the human
body. They are one of the building blocks of body
tissue, and can also serve as a fuel source. As
a fuel, proteins contain 4 kcal per gram, just like
carbohydrates and unlike lipids, which contain
9 kcal per gram. The most important aspect and
defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional
standpoint is its amino acid composition.
Humans need the essential amino acids in certain
ratios. Some protein sources contain amino acids
in a more or less ‘complete’ sense.
An essential amino acid or indispensable amino
acid is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized
from scratch by the human body, and therefore
must be supplied in a diet. The nine amino acids
humans cannot synthesize are phenylalanine,
valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine,
isoleucine, lysine, and histidine.
Proteins are polymer chains made of amino acids
linked together by peptide bonds. During human
digestion, proteins are broken down in the stomach
All Profi ingredients have been formulated to provide
all essential amino acids in proper proportion.
