Features & Benefits

Product Features
  • Austrade’s sunflower protein is a genuine alternative for formulators seeking to use a plant-sourced protein containing all essential amino acids as well as neutral taste and odor.
  • Heliaflor® 55 contains almost no fat. Heliaflor® 55 is beige in color and has a relatively neutral taste. It is particularly suitable for products that require minimal off-flavor and little foreign coloring.
  • CO2 extraction processing - Additional CO2 extraction of this product variant reduces the fat content and simultaneously increases the protein content of the final product. This process leads to a higher fat binding capacity and a slightly weaker water binding capacity.
  • Contains min. 55% protein and 15% dietary fiber
  • Less than 2% fat
  • Features very good water (1:4) and fat binding capacities
  • Excellent emulsification properties
  • Allergen and Gluten Free

  • Contain all 9 essential amino acids
