COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING SOY PROTEIN AND PROCESSES OF THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

The present disclosure describes compositions having an improved creamy mouthfeel and the health benefits of soy protein. Further described are compositions comprising soy protein particles having a mean particle size distribution of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns, wherein the compositions are substantially free of fat. Other described compositions are those comprising soy protein particles having a mean particle size distribution of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns; and having a pH of from about 6 to about 8 or, alternatively, from about 2.5 to about 3.5. The disclosure further relates a process for producing a composition comprising soy protein particles, comprising the steps of: a) providing a mixture of a soy protein and an aqueous liquid, wherein the pH of the mixture is at least about 11;b) lowering the pH of the mixture to a pH of from about 6 to about 8 and applying mechanical energy to the mixture;wherein when the pH of the mixture is greater than about 8 the temperature of the mixture is at about 20 oC or less; and wherein the soy protein particles have a mean particle size distribution of from about 0.1 to about 10 microns.
