What is Defatted Wheat Germ?
Defatted Wheat Germ is the protein- and fiber-rich portion of wheat germ with most of the oil removed. It offers a neutral flavor, long shelf life, and consistent functionality, making it an ideal ingredient for food, bakery, supplement, personal-care, and animal-nutrition applications. With high nutritional value and clean-label appeal, it enables formulators to enhance protein content, improve texture, and support product stability while maintaining natural ingredient claims.
Vitamins
Defatted wheat germ is an excellent source of natural nutrients, including B-vitamins and thiamin. In fact, wheat germ is the best and most concentrated natural source of vitamin E that we know of today.
Protein and Fiber
Each of our defatted wheat germ products offers 30% protein by content, providing an excellent source of vegan protein. It’s also 16% fiber by content.
Taste
At Viobin, we toast our defatted wheat germ to create an ingredient that’s full of flavor. When lightly toasted, defatted wheat germ has a golden tan color and a flavor that is nutty and slightly sweet.
