About
Us
At the heart of Schillinger Seed, Inc you will find a passion
for the research and development of soybeans. This passion
goes beyond the day to day "work" of employees,
it is the desire to create better soybeans naturally. Offering
non-GMO, nutritious, high quality soybeans and soy ingredients
has consumed the lives of our staff. Our President and founder
leads by example with over 35 years of experience in the research
and development of soybeans. With on-going research being
conducted in 18 countries on four continents and a budget
of over $1.6 million (Annual revenue: $5 million) Schillinger
Seed's focus is to create great-tasting, wholesome soybeans
that feed the world.
Although the company was founded in 1999, it has taken until
now to amass and perfect our arsenal of soybean varieties
with different traits. Our latest patented varieties (SS-240F.Y
and SS-290F.HP), began to command the attention of tofu producers
worldwide in 2003 being used to increase yields and enhance
protein content. Schilinger Seed continues conducting breakthrough
research offering new, naturally selected varieties each season
and developing growing histories in the soybean producing
states domestically with additional research being conducted
in Canada, Brazil, Chile, Turkey and India.
With the continuous release of new varieties, comes the opportunity
to grow Schillinger Specialty Soybeans. We work with farmers
we know and trust to produce quality soybeans that command
a premium in the marketplace. Through contract agreements
and licensing, Schillinger Seed varieties are offered at a
number of seed outlets throughout the United States (ask your
local seed dealer about Schillinger Seed varieties).
The most recent addition to Schillinger Seed, Inc.'s brand
portfolio is QuadraSoy Ingredient
Solutions ™. This new line of industrial ingredients
for food manufacturing and food service applications is designed
to assist in the "pull-through" of grain produced
from Schillinger Seed varieties assuring our growers sell
their crop at premium. The new brand's focus is aimed at educating
manufacturers on the benefits of incorporating specifically
chosen, high quality, neutral tasting soy ingredients. This
brand offers a variety of high protein beverage bases, 3-G
snack pellets, baking flours and protein solutions (Textured
Soy Protein and raw soybeans). Additionally, QuadraSoy™
touts its ability to offer numerous combinations of fat, carbohydrates,
protein and fiber through our macronutrient matrix system.
Mission
The mission of the Schillinger
Seed team is to develop and deliver specialty soybeans
and soy ingredients for specific and general food applications.
Plant breeding research is conducted twelve months a year
to identify and select the combinations of genes to improve
the various compositional factors of soybeans for a food use.
Feedback from our customers has helped us identify the key
traits upon which to focus.
Taste
In addition to higher protein content and improved quality,
Schillinger Seed is concentrating on improvement of taste.
The traits we are using to improve taste in our varieties
are: Sucrose - Naturally higher sucrose and reducing lipoxygenase.
Natually higher sucrose levels improve the taste of soymilks
without additional sweeteners while reducing lipoxygenase
decreases the "beany" taste.
Protein
Results of our emphasis on protein research thus far have
given Schillinger Seed
the highest protein varieties in the industry, PRO-50™,
which produces soy grain
with 48-51% protein on a dry weight basis. Selecting different
protein quality improves processing characteristics of the
soybeans and soybean ingredients.
Low
Linolenic Acid Oil
In 2003, we began the process of incorporating low linolenic
acid oil into our high protein lines. Product introductions
beginning in 2007 will include high protein combined with
low linolenic oil for better all around nutrition.
Ingredient Research
Working with customers to create new, unique products is our
specialty. With our partners we have so far developed:
Low-fat soy flours with the highest natural protein content
on the market,
High Protein Texturized Soy ™ HPTS® Improvements
in taste, texture, size and rehydration
High Protein -High PDI Soymilk Powder - Naturally high protein
powder
3G Snack Pellets - high protein, natural, good tasting
We
are eager and ready to help our customers take soyfoods and
soy ingredients to the next level.
