PARTIALLY HYDROLYSED CEREAL PROTEIN

摘要

A composition is disclosed comprising a partially hydrolysed cereal protein. The partially hydrolysed cereal protein is characterised in that 20% by weight or more has a molecular weight of 25 kDa or greater and in that it has a nitrogen solubility index of 90% or greater at pH 1 to 10. The preferred cereal protein derives from wheat. Also disclosed is a process for producing the composition comprising treating cereal protein with at least one protease until 20% by weight or more has a molecular weight of 25 kDa or greater, followed by separation. Compositions according to the invention find use as milk protein replacements and as components in nutritional supplements, sports drinks, beverages or food products.
