Abstract:
A novel soy/milk protein composition is disclosed which can be in drink, powder or gel from which acts as a sports recovery drink restores tissue to its pre-exercise or illness state, reduces muscle glycogen breakdown, and acts to forestalls and prevent the catabolic effects of strenuous exercise. The composition includes soy protein, carbohydrate, water, vegetable oil, and an emulsifier in an appropriate ratio to maximize taste and beneficial effects of the same.

Abstract:
The present invention belongs to the field of processing techniques used in the manufacture of soyfoods. The invention relates to methods for preparing a soya fiber particulate from dehulled soybeans of a superior smooth texture, nutritional quality and flavor. The invention can be used to obtain a soya fiber particulate having a particle size in a range of about 0.01 microns to about 100 microns, wherein at least about 50% to about 100% of the soya fiber particulate has a size in a range of about 0.01 microns to about 35 microns. The invention furthermore is concerned with the use in the manufacture of food products which include but are not limited to beverages, dry mixes, yogurts, sour cream, and cream cheese.
Abstract:
The present Invention comprises compositions and methods for preparing foods and beverages using novel peanut powder compositions. Embodiments of the Invention include, among others, flavorful foods and beverages made with cocoa and peanut powders.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel fat substitute composition, which is made from a defatted and mostly nondenatured proteinaceous particulate material, that, in a preferred embodiment, is derived from seed grains, and most preferably oats. In addition, a method of making and using the compositions to produce food products having a reduced caloric count, creamy texture and suitable mouth-feel, is disclosed. Further, a method to vary the viscosity of the resulting food products is disclosed, through changing the ratio of starch to protein in the fat substitute.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for producing an adzuki bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more adzuki bean proteins from an adzuki bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.
Abstract:
An aqueous solution of a pulse protein product having a protein content of at least about 60 wt% (N x 6.25) d.b. which is soluble in aqueous media at a pH of less than about 4.4 and heat stable at that pH range is adjusted in pH to a pH of about 6 to about 8. The resulting product is further processed by drying the product, recovering and drying any precipitated pulse protein material, heat treating and then drying the product, or heat treating the product and recovering and drying any precipitated pulse protein material.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are ready to drink ("RTD") plant protein and/or dairy protein beverages having improved stability, texture and mouthfeel. The beverages comprise a plant protein and/or a dairy protein, and a texturing/stabilizing system, wherein the texturing/stabilizing system consists of a stabilizer, or consists of a stabilizer and an emulsifier, provided that only one stabilizer is present in the system, or only one stabilizer and only one emulsifier is present in the system. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the RTD beverages.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid creamer composition comprising unsaturated high oleic oils in an amount from 65 to 95% by weight of the total fat in the creamer composition, oil soluble antioxidants and water soluble or dispersible natural plant extract antioxidants. The invention also relates to a beverage composition comprising the liquid creamer composition, and a method of making it.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for separating a fat-enriched fraction and a reduced-fat extract from soy materials. Also disclosed are a fat-enriched fraction, a crude oil, a degummed oil, soy gums, a reduced-fat soy extract, reduced-fat soy protein compositions and food products comprising the reduced-fat extracts or reduced-fat protein compositions.
