Sunbloom 60
Thanks to our patented production process, we obtain a functional sunflower protein with a protein content of 60%. Its light colour is a real advantage in terms of processing and application possibilities. It is purely plant based, free of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and does not contain any allergens requiring labelling. Our sunflower protein is produced in a highly sustainable way, since we at Sunbloom use all the components of the sunflower seed for human consumption instead of just using the valuable proteins and fibre as animal feed, no additional cultivation areas are required.

Manufacturing process
How Sunbloom sunflower protein is made
Textured sunflower protein
Sunbloom Proteins has exceptional texturization properties, in both Dry – Texturized Plant Protein (TPP), as well as Wet – High Moisture Meat Analogues (HMMA).
Sunbloom Proteins has developed a Sunbloom Texturate for a wide range of final applications. Shorter hydration times, neutral taste with no off notes, reduction in need for masking agents as well as excellent bite properties are just some of the benefits. Applications of the Sunbloom TPP include Bolognaise, Burger, Emulsified Sausage (Bratwurst style) as well as inclusion in snacks or crispy baked products.
Sunbloom cold pressed sunflower seed oil
In our production process we produce not only protein but also a side stream of high-quality sunflower seed oil. This oil is cold pressed, from peeled kernels and undergoes no refining or chemical extraction process. Its typical natural taste, together with its intense golden yellow colour, vitamin and nutritional profile, makes it extremely versatile for a multitude of applications.
