ADM Opens Isolated Soy Protein Plant

DECATUR, Ill.Archer Daniels Midland Company opened its commercial-scale plant to produce its signature CLARISOY product, a transparent, isolated soy protein that offers clarity and high-quality protein nutrition. Production is expected to begin in June.

Located in Decatur, the plant will provide a new line extension for ADMs existing isolated soy protein production. CLARISOY is created through a process that delivers a highly purified product with a 95% protein concentration on a moisture-free basis. CLARISOY 100 is soluble in beverage applications with a pH below 4.0.

Since launching CLARISOY at IFT last year, customer feedback has been positive, and demand for clean-tasting, transparent proteins continues to increase in the rapidly growing fruit and vegetable juice and sports nutrition categories," said Bruce Bennett, general manager of ADM Specialty Products Oilseeds. Creating a dedicated plant to produce our signature CLARISOY product line will allow us to serve growing customer demand for proteins in low pH beverages."

The CLARISOY line extension will be launched at the 2012 IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Las Vegas next month.
