Product Overview
Pumpkin Seed Protein is a highly sustainable, nutrient-dense plant protein extracted from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo. Unlike many plant proteins that require chemical solvents for extraction, pumpkin seed protein is typically produced through mechanical pressing, preserving its natural nutritional integrity.
SRBio Pumpkin Seed Protein is a fine, light-green powder with a mild, nutty flavor. With a protein concentration of up to 60%–70%, it is an exceptional ingredient for brands seeking to develop “clean-label” vegan products that are naturally rich in essential minerals like Zinc, Magnesium, and Iron.

Key Advantages
1. Complete Amino Acid Profile
While many plant proteins are deficient in certain amino acids, SRBio Pumpkin Seed Protein contains all nine essential amino acids. It is particularly high in Arginine and Glutamic Acid, making it an ideal choice for supporting metabolic health and physical recovery in sports nutrition formulations.
2. Nutrient-Dense Mineral Matrix
Beyond its protein content, this ingredient is a natural source of vital minerals. It contains significant levels of Magnesium and Zinc, which support healthy cellular signaling and immune system integrity. This allows formulators to achieve high nutritional density without relying on synthetic mineral fortification.
3. Superior Solubility & Texture
Our advanced milling process ensures a smooth, fine texture that disperses easily in liquids. It lacks the “grittiness” often associated with hemp or pea proteins and possesses a neutral-to-nutty flavor profile that minimizes the need for heavy flavoring or masking agents in final products.
Manufacturing Excellence
Sustainable Cold-Pressing Technology
We utilize a low-temperature mechanical extraction process that separates the oil (Pumpkin Seed Oil) from the protein meal without the use of hexane or other chemical solvents. This preserves the natural antioxidants (Tocopherols) and ensures a “clean” end-product suitable for organic-certified lines.
