Product description
Heliaflor® 50 HO is a sunflower protein concentrate made from hulled and fully defatted high-oleic sunflower seeds. The hulled sunflower seeds are first mechanically partially defatted and then fully defatted via CO2 extraction. The resulting raw protein is then milled. Production takes place in Germany.
The gentle manufacturing process helps to preserve the sunflower protein in its native form. Heliaflor® 50 HO contains all essential amino acids, including the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. This makes sunflower protein well-suited for combining with legume proteins, which typically have lower levels of sulfur-containing amino acids. Conversely, legume proteins can complement the amino acid profile of sunflower protein due to their higher lysine content.
Sunflower seeds naturally contain, among other things, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and folic acid. The specific levels in the sunflower protein may be subject to natural, batch-related fluctuations.
Despite its higher residual fat content, Heliaflor® 50 HO exhibits high water-binding capacity. 100 g of product binds at least 160 g of water. All Heliaflor® variants can be combined with one another as well as with other binding agents. Furthermore, Heliaflor® 50 HO can be used as a binding agent, texturizer, and stabilizer in various food recipes and extrusion applications.
Heliaflor® 50 HO is also available in organic quality.
