Sunflower PectinSustainable · Clean Label
Upcycled sunflower heads — an agricultural by-product of seed harvesting
Overview
Condeboo Sunflower Pectin is extracted from sunflower heads — the by-product left after sunflower seed harvesting. Sunflower heads contain 15–25% pectin, and ours is naturally low-methoxyl (low-ester): a rare natural LM profile without chemical modification.
Inner Mongolia is China's principal sunflower-producing region, so our raw material is local, traceable and renewed every season. Unlike citrus pectin, supply is not exposed to citrus crop volatility — genuine stability for your supply chain. Its clean-label, upcycled story is a powerful ESG narrative for global buyers.
