Product description

Sunflower protein is a plant-based protein ingredient for food manufacturers developing protein-enriched, vegan and vegetarian products. It combines a high protein content with useful emulsifying and texture-supporting properties, making it suitable for meat alternatives, bakery products, beverages, dairy and dairy-alternative products, food supplements, sports nutrition and sauces.

Its plant-based positioning supports modern product concepts in which nutritional value, processing performance and reliable ingredient sourcing are important. Product specifications, application guidance, samples, available packaging formats and minimum order quantities can be requested from our ingredient team.

  • High protein content for protein enrichment
  • Supports texture development in finished products
  • Good emulsifying properties for stable formulations

Our sunflower protein is obtained from high-quality sunflower seeds sourced from qualified suppliers. The seeds are grown using sustainable cultivation practices and processed under controlled conditions to support consistent product quality and functional performance. We work with suppliers that meet defined quality and sustainability requirements.

Our sunflower protein is supplied in food-grade packaging suitable for industrial food production and different purchasing volumes. Standard packaging options include 20 kg and 25 kg bags, big bags and bulk delivery by silo truck.

The packaging protects product quality during storage and transport. Alternative packaging formats, minimum order quantities, lead times and delivery options are available on request.

Sunflower protein for food manufacturers

Sunflower protein is a plant-based protein ingredient for food manufacturers developing protein-enriched, vegan and vegetarian products. Its high protein content, emulsifying properties and contribution to texture make it suitable for meat alternatives, bakery products, beverages, dairy alternatives, sports nutrition, food supplements, sauces and selected convenience foods. It is particularly relevant for product concepts that require plant-based positioning together with functional performance in industrial food production.

Depending on the formulation target, sunflower protein can be combined with sunflower protein texturate for structured meat-alternative concepts, oat fiber to support water binding, texture and moisture management, or wheat protein crispies for protein bars, cereals and crunchy snack applications. We support ingredient buyers, product developers and food manufacturers with product selection, samples, technical documentation, packaging options and sourcing for scalable production.

Request data sheet

Sunflower protein is a plant-based protein ingredient obtained from sunflower seeds. Food manufacturers use it for protein enrichment and to support texture and emulsion stability in selected formulations.

Sunflower protein is typically produced by removing part of the oil from sunflower seeds and processing the remaining material into a protein-rich powder. The exact production process, composition and technical parameters depend on the product specification.

Depending on the formulation, sunflower protein can support protein enrichment, texture development and emulsification. Product-specific values and processing recommendations are provided in the technical documentation.

Sunflower protein can be used in meat alternatives, bakery products, beverages, dairy and dairy-alternative products, sports nutrition, food supplements, sauces and selected convenience products. Suitability and dosage should be evaluated for each formulation.
