Tomato Seed Protein
Tomato Seeds are packed with proteins and have an excellent profile of the necessary essential amino acids. The chemical compositions of tomato seeds have been investigated, the total protein contents of the seeds amounted to 30.5%. These proteins have a high Emulsification capacity as well as Protein Solubility. The Tomato seed proteins that we offer are GMO free and can be used to develop products with claims such as Organic, Vegetarian, GMO free, etc.
Tomato seed proteins, due to high protein solubility, can be used in soups which enhances flavor, texture, consistency and nutritional value. Tomato seed proteins can also be used in mayonnaise to increase consistency through its high emulsification capacity and water absorption capacity. The high glutamic acid content in tomato proteins can be used to impart umami flavor, which has wide applications in food.
