SUNFLOWER BUTTER SPREAD AND PRODUCTS THEREOF INCLUDING A PRETREATMENT OF THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND THE LIKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process is disclosed whereby the objectional grey-green discoloration is removed from sunflower seed, meal and the like prior to roasting. The system utilizes a pretreatment of the seeds, meal and the like by chemical and/or physical means after dehulling and prior to roasting by the addition of acidic compounds that significantly affect the discoloration reaction such as those reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes or oxygen. Similar results may be obtained by the addition of reducing agents which serve to prevent the oxidation of the caffeic and chlorogenic acids or can convert the ortho-quinones back to the reduced state. The process can also be effected by the addition of bleach- ing agents, blocking agents, compounds which result in the breakdown of the ortho quinone-protein complex, antioxidants, compounds which result in the hydrolysing of the chlorogenic acid or by the addition of compounds which cause the in- activation of the enzymes. Finally the process may use physical treatments. In all cases the roasting process which follows the pretreatment, is found to stabilize the reaction and prevent the discoloration from recurring. The pretreated and roasted material can subsequently be used in the manufacture of Sunflower butter spread and products thereof.
