What is defatted almond protein powder (press-cake flour)?

Defatted almond protein powder is typically produced by pressing almonds to remove oil, then milling the press cake into a fine powder. It’s often used to increase protein while keeping fat lower than standard almond flour (program dependent).

What specs matter most for defatted almond protein powder?

Key specs typically include protein %, residual fat %, moisture, particle size/mesh, microbiological targets (if required), allergen handling, and packaging. Share your end use so we can align the best program.

Is this product suitable for beverage and bar formulations?

Often yes, depending on grind/flowability, flavor profile, and application needs (RTD, dry mix, bar, bakery). Share your target protein, fat, and particle size for alignment.

Do you support export shipments?

Yes. We support U.S. deliveries and international shipments. Share destination (and port if export), volume, and required documentation.

Can you supply a kill-step / pasteurized program for specific micro targets?

Often yes, depending on processor/program. Share your micro targets and preferred validated treatment so we can align an appropriate option.

What is defatted almond protein powder?

Defatted almond protein powder is generally produced by pressing almonds to remove a portion of the oil, then milling the remaining almond solids (press cake) into a fine powder. Compared with standard almond flour, a defatted program is typically higher in protein and lower in fat (program dependent).

Label-friendly base: “almonds” as the ingredient statement (confirm per program)
Protein-forward formulation: supports bars, bakery mixes, dry blends, and select beverage formats
Process-fit control: specify particle size/mesh and moisture for dosing and flowability
Performance levers: grind, roast note (if any), and fat level influence flavor + mouthfeel

Where it’s used

Common industrial applications (final performance depends on your full formula and process):

Nutrition bars and high-protein inclusions
Bakery mixes (protein and structure support)
Dry beverage mixes and powder blends (program dependent)
R&D prototyping for plant-based and specialty products

If your end use is beverage or high-shear mixing, specify particle size and flowability targets up front.

Defatted almond protein powder program options

Common variables (availability varies by supplier program and season):

Protein % and residual fat % targets (press profile)
Particle size / mesh targets (flowability, dispersion, mouthfeel)
Moisture targets to reduce clumping and protect stability
Micro targets and validated treatment preferences (as required)
Flavor/color targets (neutral vs toasted notes; program dependent)
Packaging (bags/cartons) aligned to your batching and storage
COA + traceability documentation available per program

How buyers typically specify it

For faster alignment, choose the “control knobs” that matter for your line:

Spec-first: protein/fat/moisture + particle size before price comparisons
Process-fit: hopper flow, auger feed, dusting control, and mixing shear
Sensory: flavor neutrality vs toasted notes; color consistency
QA: micro limits + allergen handling + documentation expectations

Typical specification targets (benchmark ranges)

These are common market benchmarks for “almond protein / defatted almond flour” style programs. Exact values vary by supplier, process, and your requirements. We can quote to your spec sheet or tighten/relax targets for performance and cost.

Ingredient statement	Almonds (program dependent; confirm with label requirements and destination market)
Appearance	Light tan to tan powder (natural variation possible); free-flowing when within moisture spec
Protein	Often ≥50% (target by application and label claim)
Residual fat	Often ~8–14% (lower fat can improve shelf-life; higher fat can improve mouthfeel)
Moisture	Often ≤8% (lower moisture helps flowability and reduces clumping risk)
Particle size / mesh	Fine powder programs (e.g., mesh targets such as ~80–100 mesh or micron targets for dispersion)
Micro (example targets)	Program-dependent. Common benchmarks may include Salmonella absent (25 g) and limits for APC/TPC, yeast/mold, coliforms, and E. coli. Share your required limits and testing frequency.
Allergen	Tree nut: almond. Allergen statements and cross-contact controls available per supplier program.
Shelf life	Often ~12 months (depends on fat level, packaging, and storage conditions)
Storage	Keep sealed, cool, and dry; protect from heat, humidity, and strong odors. Avoid temperature swings that can cause condensation.
Packaging	Common industrial packs include multi-wall paper bags with liners or poly bags in cartons; pallet constraints supported (program dependent).

If you need better flavor stability: specify lower residual fat, oxygen-managed packaging, and a storage plan. For better dispersion: specify micron/mesh target and flowability requirements.

Specs checklist (quote-ready)

Send your spec sheet if you have one. Otherwise, start with the checklist below for faster alignment.

Product: Defatted almond protein powder (press-cake / almond protein flour)
Target protein % and residual fat % (tell us your label-claim goal if applicable)
Particle size / mesh (micron/mesh target; dispersion and dusting constraints)
Moisture target and oxidation/rancidity expectations (shelf-life target)
Micro requirements (APC/TPC, yeast/mold, coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella policy) and test frequency
Pasteurization / validated treatment preference (if required) and destination-market constraints
Color/flavor targets (neutral vs toasted note; any sensory reference sample)
Packaging: bags/cartons/pails/drums/totes + pallet height/weight constraints
Volume: first order + forecast cadence (monthly/quarterly)
Destination: city/state/country (and port if export)
Delivery window: required ship/receipt dates
Documentation: COA, traceability/lot ID, country of origin, certifications if required

Tell us your process (auger feed, high-shear mixing, dust control needs) and we’ll recommend particle size and moisture targets that fit your line.

FAQ: Defatted almond protein powder

What specs do you need to quote bulk defatted almond protein powder?

At minimum: target protein %, residual fat %, particle size/mesh, packaging, volume, and delivery lane. If you have a spec sheet, share it; otherwise use the checklist above.

Is defatted almond protein powder the same as almond flour?

Not always. Standard almond flour is typically milled almonds with higher natural fat. Defatted programs are made from pressed almond solids (press cake) and are often higher in protein and lower in fat. Exact composition depends on the supplier program.

Can you support micro targets or a validated kill-step?

Often yes, depending on processor/program and destination requirements. Share your micro specs (including Salmonella policy) and preferred validated treatment so we can align a suitable option.

Do you ship defatted almond protein powder outside the United States?

Yes. We support export lanes depending on destination, volume, and required documentation. Share the country/port and timeline for planning.

Can you provide COA and traceability documentation?

Yes. COA and traceability documentation are available per supplier program. If you require certifications, note them in your inquiry.

How should defatted almond protein powder be stored for best shelf-life?

Storage guidance depends on the exact program and packaging. In general, keep sealed, cool, and dry; protect from heat, light, and humidity. Avoid temperature swings to reduce condensation risk. Share your facility conditions and timeline for tighter guidance.
