Product description
Heliaflor® 50 HO is an organic sunflower protein concentrate made from dehulled high-oleic sunflower kernels. The sunflower kernels are partially de-oiled by mechanical pressing and the resulting crude protein is then processed further into a functional plant-based protein.
The gentle manufacturing process helps to preserve the sunflower protein in its native form. Heliaflor® 50 HO contains all essential amino acids, including the sulphur-containing amino acid methionine. This makes sunflower protein well suited for combining with pulse proteins, which typically contain 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 kernels naturally contain vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and folic acid, among other nutrients. The actual levels in the sunflower protein may be subject to natural and batch-related variation.
Despite its higher residual fat content, Heliaflor® 50 HO has a high water-binding capacity: 100 g of product binds at least 160 g of water. All Heliaflor® variants can be combined with one another and with other binders. In addition, Heliaflor® 50 HO can be used as a binder, texturiser and stabiliser in a wide range of food recipes and extrusion applications.
Heliaflor® 50 HO is suitable for vegan and vegetarian product concepts.
