Sunflower Seed Protein 50% Powder by Comext

Sunflower Seed Protein 50% Powder (Comext) is a plant-based protein ingredient produced from sunflower seed kernels (Helianthus annuus L.) and supplied as a bulk powder for B2B food and nutraceutical manufacturing. It is made via mechanical expression and milling, resulting in a protein-containing powder with a typical protein content of ~50%.

This ingredient is commonly used where formulators want a non-dairy, plant-derived protein with useful techno-functional properties. Supplier materials describe sunflower seed protein as offering water absorption, oil absorption, and emulsification performance (including oil absorption noted as higher than soy protein in the supplier overview), supporting use in dry mixes and processed food systems.

Applications

• Dietary supplements (protein blends, sachets/stick packs, tablets/capsules where applicable)
• Functional foods & beverages (instant drink mixes, nutrition powders)
• Bakery, bars, and snack systems (protein enrichment; formulation-dependent)
• Processed food formulations where emulsification or water/oil binding is beneficial (application-dependent)
