Abstract
Abstract Native gluten is subjected to successive extractions with anhydrous isopropanol, aqueous alkali isopropanol, and aqueous acidic isopropanol to remove astringent principles. The gluten is then hydrolyzed with dilute acid to convert amide groups to carboxy groups. The non-astringent deamidized gluten is incorporated in beverages including acidic beverages such as fruit juices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
In the process for preparing deamidized gluten wherein native gluten is hydrolyzed with dilute acid to convert amide groups to carboxy groups, the improvement which comprises subjecting the native gluten prior to the hydrolysis to successive extraction with -a. essentially anhydrous isopropanol b. 0.05 to 0.1 N food-grade alkali in 5-10 percent aqueous isopropanol, and c. 0.05 to0.1 N food-grade acid in 5-10 percent aqueous isopropanol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
24 words
A beverage containing non-astringent deamidized gluten produced according to the process of claim 2 which contains its natural content of both gliadin and glutenin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
An acidic beverage containing in solution at least 1 percent of non-astringent deamidized gluten produced according to the process of claim 2 which contains its natural content of both gliadin and glutenin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process for enhancing the nutritive value of an acidic beverage, which comprises dissolving therein about 1-15 percent of non-astringent deamidized gluten produced according to the process of claim 2 which contains its natural content of both gliadin and glutenin.
