Soy protein - containing dressings

摘要

A soy protein-containing dressing comprises an emulsified dressing having a first phase of edible oils and a second phase of water. The first phase is dispersed as droplets having a size of 0.5 to 10 microns in the second phase. The dressing additionally comprises 20 to 50 percent partially hydrolyzed soy proteins dispersed in the emulsified dressing. The partially hydrolyzed soy proteins are prepared by partial hydrolysis of soy proteins in a soy protein isolate using one or more protease enzymes. The one or more protease enzymes are inactivated before the partially hydrolyzed soy proteins are incorporated into the emulsified dressing. The soy-containing dressing has a smooth texture and does not have the significant beany flavour normally associated with soy beans.
