Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A method of preparing a protein-containing material comprising: subjecting a feedstock which includes 1) a protein, 2) a component selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, polydextrose, and mixtures thereof, and 3) fructose to flash flow processing, said fructose being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of heat required to create flash flow conditions during said flash flow processing.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
62 words
A method of preparing a protein-containing material comprising: subjecting a feedstock which includes 1) a protein, 2) a component selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, polydextrose, and mixtures thereof, and 3) fructose to flash flow processing, said fructose being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of heat required to create flash flow conditions during said flash flow processing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said protein is a heat-sensitive enzyme.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said heat-sensitive enzyme is present in non-fat milk solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
A comestible material comprising a protein containing material prepared by the process of subjecting a feedstock which includes 1) a protein, 2) a component selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, polydextrose, and mixtures thereof, and 3) fructose to flash flow processing, said fructose being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of heat required to create flash flow conditions during said flash flow processing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
A comestible material comprising a protein containing material prepared by the process of subjecting a feedstock which includes 1) a protein, 2) a component selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, polydextrose, and mixtures thereof, and 3) fructose to flash flow processing, said fructose being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of heat required to create flash flow conditions during said flash flow processing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The comestible of claim 4, wherein said protein is a heat sensitive enzyme.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The comestible of claim 5, wherein said heat sensitive enzyme is a component of non-fat milk solids.
