VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG TEXTURIERTER OELSAATPROTEINPRODUKTE BZW. ZUR KONZENTRATION EINER OELSAATMILCH UND DANACH HERGESTELLTE PRODUKTE

摘要

A process for preparing textured oil seed protein products is provided. The process enables the use of fat-containing oil seeds without the need for removing the fat prior to processing. According to the process, an aqueous dispersion of oil seed protein is concentrated under conditions effective to prevent any significant protein denaturation while allowing sufficient removal of water to obtain a viscous dispersion having a solids concentration of greater than 30% by weight, and is shaped by expressing the dispersion through a die and into an aqueous bath. According to a preferred embodiment, the oil seed material comprises full fat soybeans. Both fibers and films can be formed.
