Heliaflor® 55, organic, is an organic sunflower protein concentrate made from hulled and fully de-oiled sunflower seeds. The hulled sunflower seeds are first partially de-oiled mechanically and then fully de-oiled by CO2 extraction. The resulting crude protein is milled. Production takes place in Germany.
The gentle manufacturing process helps to preserve the sunflower protein in its native form. Heliaflor® 55 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.
Particularly noteworthy are the emulsifying capacity and the mild, nutty taste of Heliaflor® 55. The sunflower protein can be used as a binder, texturiser and stabiliser in a wide range of food recipes. With a glutamic acid content of around 10 %, Heliaflor® 55 is also suitable for use in savoury recipes.
Heliaflor® 55 is also available in a grade without organic certification.
