Functional mung bean-derived compositions
Provided herein are methods for producing a mung bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more mung bean proteins from a mung bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.
PROTEIN-RICH FOOD PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING A PROTEIN-RICH FOOD PRODUCT
A protein-rich food product comprising water and solids, wherein at least 70% of the solids consist of protein, and a method for making the protein-rich food product. The protein-rich food product is capable of replacing flour food products as a low-calorie, gluten-free, high-protein alternative.
Crisped proteinaceous food product
A crisp proteinaceous food product in which egg white proteins constitute the majority of total proteins present is described. The food product has a bulk density of from 120 to ?500 g/L and includes water, expanded starch, and denatured proteins. Ovalbumin constitutes at least 33% (w/w) of the proteins. Expanded starch can constitute at least 35% (w/w) of the food product.
AQUAFABA PRODUCTS AND METHODS
Packaged aquafaba comprising polysaccharides and protein, wherein the ratio of polysaccharides: protein is 40:60 to 60:40, and wherein the polysaccharides comprise at least 40% arabinose, galactose or a combination thereof.
EGG SUBSTITUTE MIXTURE
The present invention is directed to compositions comprising inter alia, protein. Fabaceae flour and polysaccharide and use thereof, such as egg substitute compositions.

The present invention is directed to compositions comprising inter alia, protein. Fabaceae flour and polysaccharide and use thereof, such as egg substitute compositions.
METHOD FOR PROVIDING PROTEINACEOUS COMPOSITION
A protein-rich composition can be provided from egg albumen via a process that involves diafiltering with purified water an egg albumen concentrate. Collected retentate from the diafiltration step constitutes a protein-rich composition which, on a dry basis, can include less than 1% (w/w) lipids. The composition can be spray dried to a protein isolate solid which is substantially free of sugars.
