Kürbiskern-Protein-Pulver 60% 70%

Produktübersicht

Unser Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder is a functional plant-based ingredient derived from high-quality Cucurbita pepo seeds. Unlike standard market varieties that often present a dark green color and gritty texture, our proprietary cold-pressed extraction process yields a distinct Hellgelbes feines Pulver.

This aesthetic advantage is critical for formulators. It allows for higher inclusion rates in vanilla, fruit, or neutral-flavored applications without negatively impacting the finished product’s visual appeal (no “muddy” or dark green cast).

Als engagierter manufacturer and exporter, we control the entire supply chain—from seed selection to final milling. This ensures a consistent amino acid profile and strictly controlled contaminant levels, making it an ideal clean-label ingredient for the global food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries.

Why Sourcing from Us?

• Visual Superiority: Light Yellow appearance (L-value > 80) eliminates the need for color masking.
• Safety First: Advanced thermal control ensures Low PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) compliance with strict EU standards.
• Sensory Profile: A clean, mild nutty taste with no beany off-notes or bitterness.
• Hypoallergenic: Naturally free from soy, gluten, and dairy.
• Factory Direct: We guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and offer competitive bulk pricing.

Technical Specifications (60% vs. 70%)

We offer two distinct grades tailored for different processing environments. Use the table below to select the right specification for your formulation.

Qualitätskontrolle und Einhaltung der Vorschriften

Safety is the primary concern for plant-based ingredients, particularly regarding environmental contaminants.

Strict PAHs Control (EU Standard) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a known risk in pumpkin seed products due to improper drying. We utilize indirect heat drying and advanced filtration technologies to ensure our product meets stringent EU regulations (Sum of 4 PAHs < 10 ppb), eliminating contamination risks.

Heavy Metal Management Sourced from controlled growing regions away from industrial pollution, our seeds undergo regular third-party testing. We ensure Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury levels are consistently well below international limits (< 1.0 ppm for Lead).

Certifications & Statements

• Zertifizierungen: ISO 9001, ISO 22000, Kosher, and Halal certified.
• Allergens: Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free.
• Organic Option: USDA/EU Organic certified specifications are available upon request.

Applications & Formulation Advice

Alt Text: Comparison of pumpkin seed protein solubility in beverages vs bakery bars

1. For Beverages & Dairy Alternatives (Select 70%)

Die 70% specification is refined to reduce fiber content and improve particle size distribution (100 mesh).

• Recommended For: Plant-based milks, RTD protein shakes, powdered drink mixes.
• Performance: Excellent dispersibility and suspension stability in liquid systems. Its bland flavor allows delicate notes like vanilla or berry to shine.
• Tipp zur Formulierung: Blend with Pea Protein Isolate (50:50 ratio) to create a complete amino acid profile, balancing Methionine and Lysine levels.

2. For Bakery & Solid Foods (Select 60%)

Die 60% specification retains a higher proportion of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates.

• Recommended For: Protein bars, energy balls, bakery products (cookies, muffins), and meat analogues.
• Performance: Offers superior Water Holding Capacity (WHC) and structural binding properties. The mild nutty flavor complements grain-based recipes.
• Dosierung: Can replace 15-20% of flour in bakery recipes to boost protein content without compromising dough elasticity.

Packaging, Storage & Logistics

• Standard-Verpackung: 20kg / 25kg Paper Drums or Multi-layer Paper Bags with inner double PE liners.
• Lagerungsbedingungen: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place (below 25°C). The product is sensitive to light and oxidation due to its unsaturated fatty acid content.
• Haltbarkeitsdauer: 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
• Logistics: Samples (20g-50g) available for immediate dispatch. We handle palletization and export documentation efficiently.

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)

Q: What is the main difference between 60% and 70% pumpkin seed protein?

A: The primary difference is purity and fiber content. The 70% grade is further processed to remove fiber, resulting in a finer powder (100 mesh) with better dispersibility for beverages. The 60% grade retains more fiber, making it ideal for texture improvement in bakery and bars.

Q: Is your pumpkin seed protein soluble in water?

A: It is highly dispersible rather than fully soluble (like whey isolate). Our 70% grade is milled to a fine mesh to ensure smooth suspension in plant milks and shakes without gritty sedimentation.

Q: How do you ensure the product does not contain high levels of PAHs?

A: We strictly control the drying and roasting temperatures during seed pre-treatment. Every batch is tested using GC-MS to ensure PAHs are compliant with EU regulations (<10 ppb) before release.

Q: Do you serve distributors or just end manufacturers?

A: We serve both. As a manufacturer, we offer flexible MOQs for trial orders and tiered pricing for full container loads for distributors and large brands.
