More Information
Summary:The present invention provides high NSI dry vegetable protein isolates which may be effectively utilized to replace egg albumin and/or milk caseinates in food recipes. The isolates are characterized as having an NSI of at least 90, substantially free from vegetable protein hydrolyzates, capable of forming insoluble heat-set gels and having aqueous Brookfield viscosities substantially lower than those which are obtained from conventional undigested vegetable protein hydrolyzates. The relatively neutral pH extraction conditions in the presence of sulphurous ions, coupled with its recovery without chemically or enzymatically hydrolyzing the protein constituents affords an effective method for manufacturing these unique isolate products. The isolates may be used to directly replace either casein or egg albumin in a wide variety of food recipes.
