Product description
Heliaflor® IV 45 is an organic sunflower protein concentrate made from hulled sunflower seeds for industrial food processing. The sunflower seeds are partially de-oiled by mechanical pressing and the resulting crude protein is then milled. Production takes place in Germany.
The gentle manufacturing process helps to preserve the sunflower protein in its native form. Heliaflor® IV 45 contains all essential amino acids, including the sulphur-containing amino acid methionine. This makes sunflower protein well suited for combination with pulse proteins, which typically have lower levels of sulphur-containing amino acids. Conversely, pulse proteins can complement the amino acid profile of sunflower protein with their higher lysine content.
Sunflower seeds naturally contain vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and folic acid, among others. The specific levels in sunflower protein may be subject to natural and batch-related variations.
Heliaflor® IV 45 can be used as a binder, texturiser and stabiliser in a wide range of food recipes. Possible applications include plant-based drinks, shakes and desserts, meat alternatives, doughs and baked goods, bars and cereals, plant-based spreads as well as mayonnaises, sauces and dressings.

Frequently Asked Questions about the product
What role do amino acids play in Heliaflor® sunflower protein?
Proteins are made up of up to 20 different amino acids as building blocks, linked by peptide bonds. These amino acids can be divided into essential and semi-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are vital but cannot be produced by the body itself, so an adequate intake from food is important. This group includes isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Semi-essential amino acids such as arginine and histidine, on the other hand, cannot be produced by the body only during certain stages of development, e.g. in newborns.
