Sunflower-Sourced Protein Powders

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Solatein Sunflower Protein Isolate is High-Purity

— January 14, 2025 — Lifestyle
The Solatein sunflower protein isolate has been developed by the Canada-based Burton NutraScience Corporation that will provide a sustainable alternative for food and drink manufacturers to use in their formulations. The solution is crafted by upcycling the by-products from the production of sunflower seed oil production and is reported to have a protein purity level that exceeds 90%. The product maintains a plant-based formulation that has a neutral flavor to maximize versatility, while also featuring functional properties and an off-white color.

CEO Kip Underwood commented on the Solatein sunflower protein isolate saying, "Solatein™ offers one of the best combinations of clean taste, texture, and functionality, enhancing a wide range of food and beverage products, including those tailored for GLP-1 users. We are incredibly proud to launch the world’s first high-purity sunflower protein isolate ahead of schedule.”
