FOOD PRODUCT COMPRISING A LOW TEMPERATURE RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE

摘要

Rice protein concentrates prepared at low temperature exhibit improved functionality and beneficial physiological benefits, including lowered cholesterol and enhanced lactic acid dehydrogenase activity, without an increase in blood urea nitrogen. The rice protein concentration could be made into a wet dough with comparatively less water than a soy protein concentrate. Use of the rice protein concentrate thus improved processing steps in the formulation of a food article containing the concentrate. The food product advantageously shows an extending shelf life and improved palatable texture.
