Sunflower Extraction Sunflower meal is the fourth largest source of protein supplement behind soybean, cottonseed, and canola meals. Sunflower meal is generated when the black oil seeds are “crushed”. Pre-press solvent extraction of whole seeds with no dehulling produces meal with a crude protein content of 25 to 28 percent, partial dehulling yields 34 to 38 percent crude protein content, and completely dehulled sunflower meal commonly yields 40+ percent crude protein, but up to 50 percent crude protein has been observed. Sunflower meal can be used as the sole source of protein to feed animals. SPECIFICATION Protein 26 %- 40 % Fat 0.5 %-1.5 % Fibre 5 %- 10 % Moisture 8 %- 12 %
