The present invention is directed to soy protein products, very low in, or free of, beany flavour notes and useful for the fortification of food and beverage products and prepared without the use of salt in the process. The soy protein products of the present invention are obtained by extracting soy protein source with water to form an aqueous soy protein solution, at least partially separating the aqueous soy protein solution from residual soy protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous soy protein solution to a pH of about 1.5 to about 3.6 to solubilize at least a portion of the protein and form an acidified soy protein solution then separating the acidified soy protein solution from the acid insoluble solid material. The acidified soy protein solution may be dried following optional concentration and diafiltration to form a soy protein product, which may be an isolate. The acid insoluble solid material may be washed with acidified water and then dried to form another soy protein product. These products may be dried at the acidic pH at which they were prepared or may be adjusted in pH before drying. |
