Discover premium sunflower seed protein with 45.77% crude protein, 10% moisture. Our advanced process ensures top-quality plant-based nutrition!

Production Process and Characteristics:

The production process of sunflower seed protein involves the following steps:

1. Sunflower Seed Dehulling: Sunflower seeds are dehulled to obtain sunflower seed meal with key indicators: moisture content 10%, crude protein 45.77%, NS193..30%.
2. Meal Crushing: Sunflower seed meal is crushed and sieved through a 60-mesh screen. While stirring, water at a temperature of 50°C is slowly added, along with a buffering solution containing 0.2%-0.25% Na2SO4. The liquid-to-solid ratio is maintained at 1:10. After complete addition, the mixture is allowed to react for 15-20 minutes. Subsequently, 0.25% NaOH solution is added to adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5, and extraction is performed for 20 minutes.
3. Centrifugation: The extraction liquid is subjected to centrifugation to remove solid residues.
4. Acidification and Precipitation: Hydrochloric acid is added to the extraction liquid, adjusting the pH to 4.0 for protein precipitation. After centrifugation, the precipitate is identified as sunflower seed protein.
5. Washing: The protein precipitate is washed with a pH 4.0 solution, using water at 1.1-1.5 times the material volume. Centrifugation is employed to remove whey, yielding a washed protein curd.
6. Drying: The washed protein is placed in a constant temperature vacuum dryer at 60°C for dehydration. The residual pressure is maintained below 2.7 kPa. Once moisture content meets specifications, the product is crushed to achieve the final product.

Characteristics:

• (a) Sunflower seeds, after dehulling, yield sunflower seed meal with main indicators: moisture content 10%, crude protein 45.77%, NS193..30%.
• (b) The production process involves careful grinding of sunflower seed meal, controlled addition of water at 50°C, and the introduction of a buffering solution. Subsequent reactions with NaOH and extraction steps ensure protein extraction.
• (c) Centrifugation is employed to remove solid residues from the extraction liquid.
• (d) Acidification with hydrochloric acid and subsequent centrifugation lead to the precipitation of sunflower seed protein.
• (e) Washing the protein precipitate with a pH 4.0 solution, followed by centrifugation to remove whey, results in a water-washed protein curd.
• (f) The washed protein is dehydrated in a vacuum dryer, with the final product achieved after meeting moisture specifications.
