Abstract
Disclosed are plant protein concentrates, extracts, and protein-lipid complexes prepared from sunflower plant material. Sunflower seeds are deconstructed and separated into heavy protein-rich fractions and light oil-rich fractions. The deconstruction processes avoid the use of organic solvents and temperatures above 60° C. The separated fractions are then selectively processed to produce selected plant protein compositions comprising from about 30% (w/w) to about 80% (w/w) sunflower protein, from about 1% (w/w) and to about 50% (w/w) plant oil, and up to about 25% (w/w) carbohydrates. The plant protein compositions from sunflower plants are suitable for use as ingredients in nutritional formulations.
