Abstract
Abstract A process for eliminating the flatulent sugars present in soya which comprises preparing an aqueous soya suspension containing from 5 to 45% by weight of dry matter, inoculating the suspension thus prepared with at least one strain of Saccharomyces uvarum which has reached the state of growth on a medium containing at least one sugar having at least one α-D-galactopyranosyl bond and fermenting the suspension under anaerobic conditions for at least 8 hours at a temperature of from 15° to 50° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A process for eliminating the flatulent sugars present in soya which comprises preparing an aqueous soya suspension containing from 5 to 45% by weight of dry matter, inoculating the suspension thus prepared with at least one strain of Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae or S. uvarum of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium wherein the principal carbon source is glucose or saccharose, in combination with at least one strain of S. uvarum of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium containing at least one sugar having at least one α-D-galactopyranosyl bond and fermenting the suspension under anaerobic conditions for at least 8 hours at a temperature of from 15° to 50° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A process for eliminating the flatulent sugars present in soya which comprises preparing an aqueous soya suspension containing from 5 to 45% by weight of dry matter, inoculating the suspension thus prepared with at least one strain of Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae or S. uvarum of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium wherein the principal carbon source is glucose or saccharose, in combination with at least one strain of S. uvarum of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium containing at least one sugar having at least one α-D-galactopyranosyl bond and fermenting the suspension under anaerobic conditions for at least 8 hours at a temperature of from 15° to 50° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the suspension is fermented for 10 to 24 hours.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the aqueous soya suspension which is prepared is a suspension of defatted soya flour.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the aqueous soya suspension which is prepared is a suspension of whole soya.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the strain of S. uvarum is S. uvarum CBS 1502.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the suspension is fermented by one of the strains S. cerevisiae CBS 5494 and S. uvarum CBS 2451 of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium of which the principal carbon source is glucose or saccharose in combination with S. uvarum CBS 1502 of which the inoculum was prepared on a medium of which the principal carbon source is raffinose or stachyose.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein fermentation is stopped by pasteurisation or by drying on a roller or by spray drying.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A soya preparation having flatulent sugars eliminated therefrom when produced by a process as claimed in claim 1.
