Preparation of soy protein isolate using calcium chloride extraction ("s703")

Номер: US20120141651A1
Принадлежит: Burcon Nutrascience MB Corp

A soy protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt % (N×6.25) d.b., preferably an isolate, 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. 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.

The present invention relates to colorless and clear beverages containing flavorings, and more particularly, to beverages that are colorless and clear like water and which yet allow the deterioration smells of the flavorings to be less sensed while exhibiting body.In the context of consumers becoming more conscious of health and desiring for natural products, the popularity of “flavored water” is increasing. Flavored water is a beverage that consists of water such as mineral water to which raw materials such as flavorings, extracts or fruit juice have been added; also known as “near water,” flavored water is a beverage just looking like water.Flavored water, especially something like “near water” which is colorless and clear like water and yet has a flavor like that of fruit, etc. is generally characterized by a relish that has such a clean finish and drinkability that consumers can drink it instead of water whenever they get thirsty; however, compared with other ordinary beverages (say, colored or turbid drinks), flavored water has less body and its taste often feels rather bland. In addition, it is known that flavorings in beverages will deteriorate under exposure to light or heat, causing an unusual taste or smell ( ...
