ENZYMATIC DEGRADATION OF CARBOHYDRATES IN PROTEIN ISOLATION METHODS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of isolating proteins from a proteinaceous vegetable material. More specifically the invention provides a method for isolating proteins from a proteinaceous vegetable material, which method comprises the steps of subjecting the proteinaceous vegetable material to the action of one or more carbohydrate degrading enzymes(s), thereby obtaining a mixture comprising proteins and hydrolyzed carbohydrates; and subjecting the mixture of step (i) to separation process in order to separate proteins from the hydrolyzed carbohydrates.
