Austrade Inc.

Naturally, Non-GMO sunflower lecithin is the leading replacement for soybean lecithin to prevent possible soy related allergens.

Another reason to choose sunflower lecithin is the growing awareness of food allergies.

Sunflower lecithin can be seen as the best source of vegetable lecithin for the food market.

Additional advantages such as its high phosphatidylcholine content, lower linolenic acid (= better stability) and high performance in its applications within the food, dietetic and pharmaceutical markets.

No matter the application we have the right lecithin for your application.

We offer the following types of sunflower lecithin:

Standard Grade 
Premium Grade RBD
Hydrolyzed
Instantized
Solvent-free (mechanically extracted)  
Organic Standard Grade
Organic Premium Grade RBD

Soy Lecithin (Liquid)

Although rapeseeds contain only half as much lecithin as soybeans, rapeseed lecithin has grown tremendously popular over the past decade.

Interest in non-soy lecithin has grown because of GMO issues in soybeans and possible food allergic reactions.

There is often confusion between the use of the terms "rapeseed" and "canola". Rapeseed is the traditional name for the group of oilseed crops in the Brassicaceae family.

Generally, canola refers to the edible oil crop that is characterized by low erucic acid (less than 2 percent). "Natural rapeseed" refers to any rapeseed with a high content (min. 45 percent) of erucic acid in the oil.

The lecithin offered by Austrade Inc. is made from rapeseed oil of non-genetically engineered seeds of European origin.

Omega-3:
Rapeseed lecithin has a significant content in C18:3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), hence provides generous amounts of this essential omega-3 fat (up to 3.6%). ALA is said to benefit cardiovascular health.

We offer the following types of liquid rapeseed lecithin:
Standard
Hydrolyzed
Premium Grade RB

Rapeseed (Canola) Lecithin - Liquid

This flavor neutral rapeseed (canola) lecithin powder is made by removing the oil from the liquid lecithin, resulting in a powder with high acetone-insoluble content (min. 95%) and excellent emulsifying properties.

Also known as D-Glucose Powder, Dextrose Monohydrate is a rice based sweetener which contains less than 0.5% water.

• A monosaccharide used as a sweetener and nutritional supplement in food and beverage production, pharmaceutical, animal feed and various other industries. With respect to food application, Dextrose Monohydrate creates a pronounced cooling effect in the mouth because of the high endothermic value in the heat of solution.
• Produced by the enzymatic treatment of rice using GMO-free natural enzymes then filtered, concentrated, agglomerated and ground to a powder.
• Suitable for Halal, Kosher and Vegetarian diets.
• Applications: Rice Dextrose Monohydrate is easily soluble in water and provides sweetness and improvement of taste in confectionery, baked goods, beverages and milk products. It decreases the freezing point in ice cream and acts as a fermentation substrate for yeast in dough.

Corn maltodextrin is a non-sweet, nutritive saccharide polymer that consists of D-glucose units and has a dextrose equivalent (DE-value) of less than 20. Maltodextrins are derived by partial hydrolysis of corn (maize), waxy maize or potato starch and are actually not sweet and not fermentable. Maltodextrins have fair solubility and act as bulking agent, texturizer, carrier, and crystallization inhibitor for baby food, flavors, spices, puddings, candies and confectionery.

Fructose (aka fruit sugar) is a sweetener that is found naturally in fresh fruits, vegetables and honey. It has a sweetness range of 130 to 180 compared to sucrose at 100, thus is the sweetest natural sugar around.

Crystalline fructose also provides a low Glycemic Index (GI). The glycemic index measures how quickly certain foods release carbohydrates into the bloodstream, which then raise consumers’ blood glucose levels. High GI foods cause blood sugar levels to rise more rapidly, and high blood sugar is known to be the defining feature of diabetes. Scientific evidence has increased to show low GI foods can help control weight and more certainly, help reduce the risk of diabetes and related conditions by raising blood sugar more steadily.

Our crystalline fructose is made from pure sugar, rather than corn, and is available in different mesh sizes as well as certified Kosher for Passover.

Dextrose enhances taste and shelf life and produces a high-temperature browning effect in baked goods.

Other applications include beverages, candy and confections, dairy products, desserts, fruit preparations, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
