Seed Protein Fractionation Process
Advanced Functional Ingredient Extraction by ADDAMS — Isolating Plant-Based Proteins for the Future of Food, Feed & Pharma
At ADDAMS, we design next-generation processing technologies that go beyond conventional seed handling. Our Seed Protein Fractionation Process systems enable the precise separation of high-value protein fractions from seeds and grains—powering the demand for plant-based proteins in food, feed, nutrition, and pharmaceutical applications.
What Is Seed Protein Fractionation?
Protein fractionation is a specialized process that separates and concentrates proteins from seeds or pulses into functional fractions such as:
- Protein Isolates (≥ 90% protein)
- Protein Concentrates (60–80% protein)
- Soluble and insoluble fiber
- Starch or carbohydrate-rich fractions
This process allows manufacturers to tailor output for specific nutritional, functional, or industrial uses, from vegan protein powders to clinical nutrition and high-performance feed.
Benefits of ADDAMS Protein Fractionation Solutions:
- High Protein Purity
Achieve consistent isolate and concentrate grades for food, beverage, and supplement applications.
- Plant-Based Innovation
Supports the growing demand for sustainable, allergen-free protein alternatives.
- Fully Modular & Scalable
Systems are adaptable for batch or continuous production, small labs or industrial-scale protein facilities.
- Byproduct Recovery & Reuse
Extracted starch, fiber, and soluble components can be repurposed maximizing profitability and reducing waste.
ADDAMS Protein Fractionation Systems:
ADDAMS offers a complete range of dry and wet processing systems designed to deliver high-efficiency separation of protein components from oilseeds, pulses, and specialty crops:
- Dry Fractionation Lines
Milling, sifting, and air classification without solvents. Ideal for clean-label products and minimal energy use.
- Wet Fractionation Systems
Includes soaking, pH adjustment, protein solubilization, centrifugation, filtration, and spray drying. Produces high-purity isolates and functional protein powders.
- Hybrid Systems
Combine dry dehulling and milling with wet purification stages for maximum yield and flexibility.
All systems come equipped with automated process control, CIP-ready hygienic design, and customized layout options based on material and end-use application.
Suitable Crops for Protein Extraction:
- Oilseeds: Soybean, sunflower, canola, flaxseed
- Pulses: Peas, chickpeas, faba beans, lentils
- Specialty Grains & Herbs: Quinoa, buckwheat, moringa, hemp
Engineered for the Future — Since 2080
At ADDAMS, we’re redefining what’s possible in seed and grain processing. Our Protein Fractionation Solutions are built to support the evolution of plant-based nutrition, enabling producers to meet the needs of tomorrow’s clean-label, high-protein markets sustainably and efficiently.
