- HIGHLIGHTS
Thanks to our patented production process, we obtain a functional sunflower protein with a protein content of 60%. Its light color is a real advantage in terms of processing and application possibilities. It is purely plant based, free of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and does not contain any allergens requiring labeling. Our sunflower protein is produced in a highly sustainable way, since we at Sunbloom use all the components of the sunflower seed for human consumption instead of just using the valuable proteins and fiber as animal feed, no additional cultivation areas are required.
- Manufacturing Process
- Peeling
- The sunflower seeds are carefully de-hulled. The result is sunflower seeds that are easily digestible and have a particularly light color. This makes Sunbloom Sunflower Protein ideal for the production of high-quality food ingredients.
- Pressing
- The hulled sunflower seeds are then cold pressed and de-oiled. The advantage is the gentle treatment preserves the valuable vitamins and the proteins remain native.
- Extraction
- Gentle extraction with food grade ethanol almost completely removes the remaining residual oil from the press cake.
- Drying
- In the next process step, the de-oiled press cake is gently dried at low temperatures to drive out the food grade ethanol without damaging the proteins.
- Milling
- The final milling (adjustable including very fine particle sizes of up to 40 microns) of the de-oiled, dried press cake produces valuable Sunbloom sunflower protein with a protein content of approximately 60%.
