DESCRIZIONE
The present invention relates to a protein preparation from sunflower seeds and a method for the production. The protein preparation has a protein content of less than 90% based on the dry matter and a fat content of less than 5% based on the dry matter. It has a brightness L *, determined according to CIE-L * a * b * -color measurement, of at least 70, values for a * and b * according to CIE-L * a * b * -color measurement in the range of -5 <a * <+5, -5 <b * <+20 and at least water-binding, oil-binding and emulsifying functionality. The water binding of the protein preparation is at least 2 ml / g dry matter and / or the oil binding at least 1 ml / g. The protein preparation has both optically and functionally very advantageous properties that allow a direct use in the food or feed area.
