Sunflower Seed Protein Powder

Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is a protein product obtained by removing the husk and phenolic acid compounds such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid from the sunflower seed meal. Sunflower is the largest oilseed crop in the world after soybean, palm, and rapeseed.

The sunflower oil meal left after oil extraction is high in protein content (30-50%) and free of toxic substances and allergens. Most of the ingredients are suitable for digestion and absorption, which is very conducive to the extraction of high-quality protein. Globulin (about 70% to 79%) is the main component, followed by albumin and a small amount of gluten and gliadin. It is low in lysine but high in other essential amino acids. The fat content is better than animal fat and vegetable oil, mainly unsaturated fat, of which linoleic acid accounts for 55% and does not contain cholesterol. It is also very rich in vitamin E, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium.

From the perspective of price and safety, as a vegetable protein, sunflower protein powder has more advantages than animal protein in the food industry and is easier to be accepted by modern health-conscious consumers. The polyphenol-removed sunflower seed protein tastes pure and has excellent protein properties. It can be widely used in food processing, and can also be made into special high-end food additives or health products for people allergic to soybean protein.
