RuBisCO Protein
What We Do
Alfa-Ruby is a B2B ingredient supplier of high quality RuBisCO protein.
Our flagship protein is harvested from fresh alfalfa using innovative end-to-end processes and provides a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to animal-based options, rivaling them in taste, texture, nutrition, and functionality.
Introducing the
Protein of the Future
Alfa-Ruby’s flagship protein, a RuBisCO protein isolate, is a leaf-derived protein ingredient that rivals animal proteins in nutrition, functionality, and performance—while offering superior yield and scalability.
Our pioneering protein extracted from alfalfa leaves offers high digestibility, a balanced amino acid profile, and versatile functional properties—including solubility, emulsification, and gelation—for food and beverage applications.
Why Our Protein Matters
Protein is essential—but today’s sources are strained. Traditional plant proteins fall short on performance, nutrition, and taste, while animal proteins come with supply challenges, cost burdens, and environmental concerns. Our work addresses these challenges head-on.
Nutritionally Complete
- High purity protein with all essential amino acids
- Superior digestibility (PDCAAS =1.0)
- Allergen-free, non-GMO, clean label advantage
Functionally Competitive
- Strong solubility across pH ranges
- Foaming and gelling properties comparable to egg and whey proteins
- Low color, neutral taste profile
Designed for Scale
- Alfalfa produces more protein per acre than any major field crop
- Grown in all 50 states, alfalfa as a source crop fully utilizes existing ag infrastructure
- Alfalfa is harvested multiple times per season, enabling consistent supply
