Tetra Pak has launched sunflower protein, an ingredient aimed at helping food and beverage producers meet the increasing consumer demand for plant-based products. The protein is versatile, with a neutral flavor profile, smooth texture, and off-white color, making it suitable for a variety of products such as iced coffee, yogurt, and protein drinks.

Sunflower protein is said to be high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it suitable for functional and fortified products. With a dosing range of 2% to 7%, it offers flexibility in formulation and can be adjusted to meet specific product requirements. Tetra Pak views sunflower protein as a renewable and flexible ingredient that can be integrated into current processes with minimal adjustments and investment, allowing producers to create new product opportunities and attract health-conscious consumers.
