Industrial hemp is from the plant species, Cannabis sativa, and has been used worldwide to produce a variety of industrial and consumer products. Known for its low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”), it is mainly grown for fibre and oilseeds. Hempseed is highly nutritious, containing approximately 25% protein, 35% oil and high levels of antioxidants. Often regarded as a “hero ingredient” for its sustainable and nutritional attributes, the potential of hempseed remains underdeveloped and is only beginning to emerge as a valuable source of protein and oil for the food industry.
Burcon has successfully developed and commercially launched the world’s first high-purity hempseed protein isolate.
Key highlights of Burcon’s high-purity hempseed protein isolate:
- Unrivaled Purity: Our proprietary hempseed protein isolate extraction and purification/production process can produce a high-quality protein ingredient that contains 95% pure protein, is free from contaminants and has minimal flavor
- Exceptional Taste and Color: The high-purity hempseed protein isolate boasts an impressive clean flavor profile and off-white color that is expected to enable formulators to create innovative great-tasting consumer products
