Abstract

Abstract Preparation of a proteinaceous material suited for use in milk substitutes by treatment of crude vegetable proteins such as soy flour, faba bean flour and the like with an SPS-ase preparation. In addition to conversion of the vegetable protein, the treatment hydrolyzes the soluble polysaccharide content in the crude vegetable protein into predominantly mono- and di-saccharides, including dissolving +hydrolyzing previously insoluble polysaccharides.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 68 words
A method for converting crude forms of vegetable protein into a water-soluble proteinaceous and carbohydrate material characterized by water solubility and dispersibility at pH 4-5 and by a preponderance of mono- and di-saccharides for the carbohydrate content which comprises treating the crude vegetable protein suspended in aqueous medium with an SPS-ase preparation said SPS-ase being characterized as capable of degrading the water-soluble polysaccharide which binds to soy protein.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 68 words
A method for converting crude forms of vegetable protein into a water-soluble proteinaceous and carbohydrate material characterized by water solubility and dispersibility at pH 4-5 and by a preponderance of mono- and di-saccharides for the carbohydrate content which comprises treating the crude vegetable protein suspended in aqueous medium with an SPS-ase preparation said SPS-ase being characterized as capable of degrading the water-soluble polysaccharide which binds to soy protein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method of claim 1 which further comprises emulsifying the SPS-ase treated proteinaceous material with a sufficient amount of vegetable oil to form a milk substitute.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein finely divided soy beans or soy flour comprises the crude vegetable protein.
