Zenex Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder Pack of 100 Gram

Sunflower seed protein powder is also written as sunflower protein powder. The protein product obtained by removing the shell and phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid from defatted sunflower seed cake as raw material. The main component is globulin (accounting for about 70% to 79%), followed by albumin and a small amount of gluten and alcohol soluble protein. In terms of amino acid composition, lysine has a lower content, while other essential amino acids have a higher content.

In the composition of amino acids in sunflower seed protein powder, the content of lysine is higher than that of cereal protein, but slightly lower than that of soy protein and animal protein. Other amino acids have good balance. Compared with the FAO value, its amino acid composition shows that except for lysine content, the content of other essential amino acids is higher or similar to the FAO value. Therefore, lysine is the first limiting amino acid of sunflower seeds. Although the lysine content is low, its effective lysine content can reach up to 90%. Sunflower seed protein is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine. Compared with most plant proteins, sunflower seed protein has good digestibility (90%) and high biological value (60%).
