Product description

Textured sunflower protein is a functional plant-based ingredient for food manufacturers developing meat alternatives, fillings, snacks, ready meals and other protein-enriched products. Its structured form supports a defined bite and improved chewing sensation, while its water and oil binding capacity can help manage texture, juiciness and processing performance.

The product is available in different particle sizes, allowing manufacturers to select a suitable structure for vegan mince, burger patties, meatballs, fillings, convenience foods and other plant-based formulations. With its high protein content and sunflower-based raw material, it provides an additional option for manufacturers evaluating different protein texturates. Product specifications, available particle sizes, samples, packaging formats and minimum order quantities are available on request.

  • Structured texture for plant-based and meat-alternative products
  • High water and oil binding capacity
  • Available in different particle sizes
  • Supports a firm bite and improved chewing sensation

Textured sunflower protein for meat alternatives

Textured sunflower protein is a functional plant-based ingredient for food manufacturers developing meat alternatives, vegan mince, burger patties, fillings, snacks and convenience products. Its structured form supports a defined bite and improved chewing sensation, while its high water and oil binding capacity can help manage juiciness, texture and processing performance. Different particle sizes allow manufacturers to adapt the ingredient to specific product concepts and production requirements.

Depending on the formulation target, manufacturers can use sunflower protein for non-textured protein enrichment, evaluate textured soy mince for mince-style meat alternatives or combine the formulation with citrus fiber where additional water binding, texture stabilization or moisture management is required. We support food manufacturers and product developers with ingredient selection, technical documentation, samples, available particle sizes and packaging options for scalable industrial production.
