HIGH PROTEIN CURD, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AND USE OF A HIGH PROTEIN CURD

摘要

The invention relates to a high protein curd based on the seeds from leguminous plants comprising a protein content of at least 15 % (DS), a fibre content of at least 20 % (DS) and having a particle size of 800 µm or less. The invention also relates to a process for the production of a high protein curd based on the seeds from leguminous plants, such as a high protein soy bean curd. Such an improved curd has a high nutritional value for mammals, such as human beings. The invention further relates to a preserved base based on the high protein curd for use as an ingredient in protein and/or fibre enriched or replaced food applications such as meat alternatives and confectionery products, as well as a process for the production of the base.
