Schillinger Seed, Inc.
has developed and is launching sales of naturally developed and
processed high protein soy flours. The company has been
involved in the development, production and export of
high
protein soybeans for 3 years, and this year is launching into
the ingredient sales arena.
Combining traditional breeding methods with
extensive knowledge of soybean germplasm, Schillinger
researchers have been able to set new standards for protein
content in soybeans and soy flour. Some of the varieties
contain 50% protein (dry basis) which can used to produce soy
flour with protein content of 58% (dry basis).
In addition, Schillinger Seed has identified
varieties with different kinds of protein, thus facilitating
different manufacturing needs. Processing those beans using
non-chemical means has allowed them to produce new and naturally
unique kinds of soybean flour.
“Our customers are finding that the naturally
higher protein content offers many advantages in processing,
costs reductions and nutrition, while the natural processing
allows the products to have better taste and texture” says Al
Green, Director of Sales and Marketing for Schillinger.
Currently Schillinger Seed offers flour choices
ranging from 47% to 58% protein, Low Fat or Full Fat, and whole
grain or de-hulled. In order to meet the distinct needs of
different food manufacturers, Schillinger Seed has implemented
an Integrated Supply Alliance (ISA) Strategy. The ISA provides
end-users of ingredients with full traceability and transparency
from seed through to the ingredient production, storage and
delivery. Custom packaging and delivery complete the
Schillinger customer solution. |
