Founded in 2021, Amber Wave is North America’s premier supplier of high-quality wheat protein coming on line Summer 2023. It claims that its high-quality wheat protein which is a key ingredient to many products and baked goods, adds consistent texture and structure, shelf life and nutritional protein to the products.
According to the company, their Kansas-based state-of-the-art production facility, best-in-class technologies and logistical advantages deliver consistent quality and value.
“Located in the heart of the continent, our direct rail and truck access allows Amber Wave to serve as a reliable domestic partner from coast-to-coast. With direct access to quality feedstock, we’re supporting American farmers and rural communities,” it says.
Amber Wave combines wheat midds from the milling process with wheat-based distillers’ grains from the biofuels process to create valuable, year-round feed cattle producers can trust to deliver the high level of nutrition their animals need, the company says.
Further, the wheat protein supplier hopes to develop a net zero carbon fuel through the combination of a wheat starch feed-stock from the protein extraction process and additional future carbon emission reduction strategies.
