Abstract

The present invention is directed to non-soy oilseed protein products, very low in, or free of, beany, green, vegetable or similar flavour notes and useful for the fortification of food and beverage products and prepared without the use of salt in the process. The non-soy oilseed protein products of the present invention are obtained by extracting non-soy oilseed protein source with water to form an aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution, at least partially separating the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution from residual non-soy oilseed protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution to a pH between about 1.5 and a value about 1 pH unit lower than the typical pH of isoelectric precipitation to solubilize the bulk of the protein and form an acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution then separating the acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution from the acid insoluble solid material. The acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution may be dried following optional concentration and diafiltration to form a non-soy oilseed protein product, which may be an isolate. The acid insoluble solid material may be washed with acidified water and then dried to form another non-soy oilseed protein product. These products may be dried at the acidic pH at which they were prepared or may be adjusted in pH before drying.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to non-soy oilseed protein products, very low in, or free of, beany, green, vegetable or similar flavour notes and useful for the fortification of food and beverage products and prepared without the use of salt in the process. The non-soy oilseed protein products of the present invention are obtained by extracting non-soy oilseed protein source with water to form an aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution, at least partially separating the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution from residual non-soy oilseed protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution to a pH between about 1.5 and a value about 1 pH unit lower than the typical pH of isoelectric precipitation to solubilize the bulk of the protein and form an acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution then separating the acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution from the acid insoluble solid material. The acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution may be dried following optional concentration and diafiltration to form a non-soy oilseed protein product, which may be an isolate. The acid insoluble solid material may be washed with acidified water and then dried to form another non-soy oilseed protein product. These products may be dried at the acidic pH at which they were prepared or may be adjusted in pH before drying.

Abstract

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., preferably an isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., is formed by a procedure in which soy protein is extracted from a soy source material using an aqueous calcium chloride solution at low pH, generally about 1.5 to about 5, and separating the resulting aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source. The resulting clarified aqueous soy protein solution may be diluted and the pH adjusted within the range of 1.5-5.0. The solution may be concentrated by ultrafiltration, diafiltered and then dried to provide the soy protein product. Alternatively, the concentrated and optionally diafiltered soy protein solution may be optionally adjusted in pH within the range of 1.5-7.0 then diluted into water to cause the formation of a precipitate, separating the precipitate from the diluting water (supernatant) and drying the separated soy protein to form a soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., preferably a soy protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b. The supernatant may be processed to form soy protein products having a protein content of at least about 60 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., preferably a soy protein isolate having a protein content of at least 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b. Alternatively, the precipitate from the dilution step may be re-solubilized in the diluting water by adjustment of the pH to resolubilize the precipitate and form a protein solution. The soy protein solution may be concentrated while maintaining the ionic strength substantially constant by using a selective membrane technique followed by optional diafiltration and drying. The soy protein product is soluble in acidic medium and produces transparent, heat stable solutions and hence may be used for protein fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks.

Abstract

A pulse protein product having a protein content of at least about 50 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b. is recovered in the processing of pulse protein source material to form pulse protein products wherein the pulse protein source is extracted in one embodiment with calcium salt solution. The resulting pulse protein solution is separated from the bulk of the residual pulse protein source and then the pulse protein solution is processed to remove finer residual solids, which are optionally washed and then dried to provide the pulse protein product. In another embodiment, the pulse protein source is extracted with water, the bulk of the residual protein source removed and the resulting pulse protein solution treated with calcium salt to precipitate phytic acid. The precipitated phytic acid and any finer residual solids remaining in solution after the initial separation step are removed from the pulse protein solution then optionally washed and dried to provide the pulse protein product.

Abstract

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., preferably an isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., is formed by a procedure in which soy protein is extracted from a soy source material using an aqueous calcium chloride solution at low pH, generally about 1.5 to about 5, and separating the resulting aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source. The resulting clarified aqueous soy protein solution may be diluted and the pH adjusted within the range of 1.5-5.0. The solution may be concentrated by ultrafiltration, diafiltered and then dried to provide the soy protein product. Alternatively, the concentrated and optionally diafiltered soy protein solution may be optionally adjusted in pH within the range of 1.5-7.0 then diluted into water to cause the formation of a precipitate, separating the precipitate from the diluting water (supernatant) and drying the separated soy protein to form a soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., preferably a soy protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b.. The supernatant may be processed to form soy protein products having a protein content of at least about 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., preferably a soy protein isolate having a protein content of at least 90 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b.. Alternatively, the precipitate from the dilution step may be re-solubilized in the diluting water by adjustment of the pH to resolubilize the precipitate and form a protein solution. The soy protein solution may be concentrated while maintaining the ionic strength substantially constant by using a selective membrane technique followed by optional diafiltration and drying. The soy protein product is soluble in acidic medium and produces transparent, heat stable solutions and hence may be used for protein fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks.

Abstract

Soy protein products which can be reconstituted to provide an aqueous acidic solution having a preferred level of clarity are produced by extracting a soy protein source with an aqueous calcium chloride solution to cause solubilization of soy protein from the protein source and separating the resulting aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source. Either, within about 20 minutes of separation step, the aqueous soy protein solution is diluted to a conductivity of less than about 90 mS and the pH of the aqueous soy protein solution is adjusted to about 1.5 to about 4.4 to produce an acidified soy protein solution having an absorbance of visible light at 600 nm (A600) of less than about 0.055, or, within about 40 minutes of the separation step, the aqueous soy protein solution is diluted to a conductivity of less than about 90 mS, the pH of the aqueous soy protein solution is adjusted to about 1.5 to about 4.4, the acidified soy protein solution is heat treated at a temperature of about 70° to about 160°C for about 10 seconds to about 60 minutes to produce an acidified soy protein solution having an absorbance of visible light at 600 nm (A600) of less than about 0.055.

Abstract

A pulse protein product, which may be an isolate, produces heat-stable solutions at low pH values and is useful for the fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks without precipitation of protein. The pulse protein product is obtained by extracting a pulse protein source material with an aqueous calcium salt solution to form an aqueous pulse protein solution, separating the aqueous pulse protein solution from residual pulse protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous pulse protein solution to a pH of about 1.5 to about 4.4 to produce an acidified pulse protein solution, which may be dried, following optional concentration and diafiltration, to provide the pulse protein product.

Abstract

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., prefereably an isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., is formed by a procedure in which soy protein is extracted from a soy source material using an aqueous calcium chloride solution at low pH, generally about 1.5 to about 5, and separating the resulting aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source. The resulting clarified aqueous soy protein solution may be diluted and the pH adjusted with the range of 1.5 to 5.0. the solution may be concentrated by ultrafiltration, diafiltered and the dried to provide the soy protein product. The soy protein product is soluble in acidic medium and produces transparent, heat stable solutions and hence may be used for protein fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks.

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., preferably an isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., is formed by extracting a soy protein source with a salt solution, preferably aqueous sodium chloride solution, to form an aqueous protein solution having a pH of about 1.5 to 11, preferably about 5 to about 7 and separating the resulting aqueous protein solution from residual soy protein source. The protein concentration of the aqueous protein solution is increased to about 50 to about 400 g/L while the ionic strength is maintained substantially constant by using a selective membrane technique. The resulting concentrated protein solution is optionally diafiltered and a calcium salt, preferably calcium chloride, is added to the concentrated and optionally diafiltered protein solution to a conductivity of 15 to about 85 mS. Precipitate formed as a result of the calcium salt addition is removed and the resulting clarified retentate is diluted into about 2 to about 20 volumes of water prior to acidification to a pH of about 1.5 to about 4.4 to produce an acidified clear protein solution. The acidified clear protein solution is then concentrated and optionally diafiltered and optionally dried. Variations of this procedure can be used to produce a soy protein product which is soluble, transparent and heat stable in acidic aqueous environments.

Abstract

A soy protein product which is completely soluble and is capable of providing transparent and heat stable solutions at low and neutral pH values is produced by extracting a soy protein source material with water at low pH, subjecting the resulting aqueous soy protein solution to ultrafiltration and optional diafiltration to provide a concentrated and optionally diafiltered soy protein solution, which may be dried to provide the soy protein product. The soy protein product may be used for protein fortification of, in particular, soft drinks and sports drinks, without precipitation of protein.

Abstract

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., preferably an isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b., is formed from the supernatant from the precipitation of a soy protein micellar mass. A calcium salt or other divalent salt is added to the supernatant, before concentration, after initial concentration or after final concentration, to provide a conductivity of about 2 to about 30 mS. Precipitate is removed from the resulting solution and the pH of the clear soy protein solution is optionally adjusted to about 1.5 to about 4.4. The optionally pH-adjusted clear solution is concentrated to a concentration of about 50 to about 400 g/L and the clear concentrated protein solution is optionally diafiltered prior to drying. The soy protein product is soluble in acidic media and produces transparent, heat stable solutions at low pH values and, therefore, may be used for protein fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks.

Abstract

A soluble canola protein isolate is prepared from canola protein micellar mass by solubilizing the protein micellar mass in a calcium salt solution, preferably a calcium chloride solution, followed by dilution of the resulting canola protein solution. Following removal of the precipitate phytic acid, the aqueous canola protein solution is concentrated, optionally diafiltered, and acidified to a pH of about 2.5 to 4.0 to produce an acidified clear canola protein solution, which may be concentrated, subjected to a colour removal step and dried. The canola protein isolate so formed is soluble, transparent and heat stable in an acid aqueous environment and also is soluble at natural pH, without precipitation of protein.

Abstract

A novel canola protein isolate with predominantly of 2S canola protein and having equal to better solubility properties and improved clarity properties, has an increased proportion of 2S canola protein and a decreased proportion of 7S canola protein. The novel canola protein isolate is formed by heat treatment or isoelectric precipitation of aqueous supernatant from canola protein micelle formation and precipitation, to effect precipitation of 7S protein which is sedimented and removed. Alternatively, the novel canola protein isolate may be derived from a selective membrane procedure in which an aqueous canola protein solution containing 12S, 7S and 2S canola proteins is subjected to a first selective membrane technique to retain 12S and 7S canola proteins in a retentate, which is dried to provide a canola protein isolate with predominantly 7S canola protein, and to permit 2S canola protein to pass through the membrane. The permeate is subjected to a second selective membrane technique to retain 2S canola protein and to permit low molecular weight contaminants to pass through the membrane, and the retentate from the latter membrane technique is dried.

Abstract

A canola protein isolate useful in aquaculture is formed by a procedure in which canola oil seed meal is extracted to cause solubilization of protein in the canola oil seed meal to form an aqueous protein solution having a protein content of about 5 to about 40 g/L and a pH of about 5 to about 6.8. After separation of the aqueous protein solution from the residual canola oil seed meal, the protein concentration is increased to at least about 50 g/L while maintaining the ionic strength substantially constant by using a selective membrane technique. The concentrated protein solution is dried to provide a canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b.

Abstract

A canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25), preferably at least about 100 wt %, and consisting predominantly of the 2S protein and substantially free from the 7S and 12S proteins is prepared. In one aspect, canola oil seed meal is extracted with aqueous protein solution at an elevated temperature to preferentially extract 2S protein from the meal to produce a canola protein solution containing predominantly 2S protein. The 2S canola protein is recovered as an isolate. In another aspect, the canola oil seed meal is extracted with aqueous saline solution to extract 2S, 7S and 12S proteins from the meal. The aqueous protein extract solution is heat treated at an elevated temperature to precipitate 7S and 12S proteins and leave a 2S protein solution from which the isolate may be recovered. In a further aspect, the aqueous protein solution is concentrated prior to the heat treatment.

Abstract

A canola protein isolate consisting predominantly of 2S canola protein and having improved solubility properties, has an increased proportion of 2S canola protein and a decreased proportion of 7S canola protein. The canola protein isolate is formed by heat treatment of aqueous supernatant from canola protein micelle formation and precipitation, to effect precipitation of 7S protein which is sedimented and removed. Alternatively, the canola protein isolate may be derived from a selective membrane procedure in which an aqueous canola protein solution containing 12S, 7S and 2S canola proteins is subjected to a first selective membrane technique to retain 12S and 7S canola proteins in a retentate, which is dried to provide a canola protein isolate consisting predominantly of 7S canola protein, and to permit 2S canola protein to pass through the membrane, the permeate is subjected to a second selective membrane technique to retain 2S canola protein and to permit low molecular weight contaminants to pass through the membrane, and the retentate from the latter membrane technique is dried.

Abstract

Flax protein isolates are obtained in a procedure in which flax oil seeds are initially extracted to remove mucilage therefrom prior to crushing to recover the oil and produce a meal. The flax protein meal then is processed to recover a flax protein isolate therefrom.
