A process for the production of soybean meal with a high content of soluble proteins in which a soybean meal with a content of soluble proteins in KOH in the range of 60 to 75% is reached, in which the soluble sugars are first removed from the soybean meal for extraction with aqueous ethanol solution and then the oil by extraction with hexane, without intermediate desolventization and in a single integrated industrial unit; an SPC soybean meal having 58-62% of a crude protein content; and 60-70% of soluble proteins in KOH.

Process for the production legume meal having a moisture content between 2% and 15%. The process includes feeding a continuous flow of legume meal into a wet heat treatment reactor together with a continuous flow of water or aqueous solution, which is dispersed into minute droplets; discharge the wet legume meal and feeding it into a thermal dehydration and treatment reactor.

A dry fractionation method and system provides for generating a protein concentrate product therefrom. The method and system includes milling a plant-based flour to generate milled flour and generating a first protein concentrate from the milled flour using an air classifier. The method and system includes processing the first protein concentrate to generate a protein rich curd and generating a neutral hydrolyzed protein slurry by mixing the protein curd with a base, water and enzymatic cocktail. The method and system includes generating a homogenized protein slurry from the protein slurry and generating a cooled protein slurry by pasteurizing the homogenized protein slurry. Therein, the method and system provides for extracting the protein concentrate product from the cooled protein slurry.

The present invention discloses a native rapeseed protein isolate comprising 40 to 65% cruciferins and 35 to 60% napins and having a solubility of at least 88% when measured over a pH range from 3 to 10 at a temperature of 23±2° C.; wherein the native rapeseed protein isolate comprises from 5% to 65% on dry matter of 12S rapeseed protein where the presence of 12S is verified by Blue Native PAGE.

The present invention relates to the food field. The invention provides a method for preparing a plant protein comprising food product with an improved property, said method comprising incubating a solution comprising a plant protein with phytase (to obtain a phytase-treated solution) and optionally processing the phytase-treated solution into a food product comprising a plant protein.

The invention relates to a water-soluble fermented pea extract. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof in the human and animal nutrition industry as well as in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetics industries.

The present invention relates to a processed, solid soya protein product derived from soya bean meal (SBM) which protein product comprises 65-75% protein by weight of dry matter, has a protein to potassium weight ratio of at least about 70:1 and a dry matter content of at least about 90%, which product is substantially free of sodium, and wherein at least about 65% by weight of the indigestible oligosaccharide content of the SBM wherefrom the protein product is derived has been removed. The invention further relates to a leaching method for manufacture of the product as well as product obtainable by the method and use of the processed, solid soya protein product.

The invention describes an apparatus for the desolventisation and toasting or an apparatus for the combined desolventisation, toasting, drying and cooling of a spent material, i.e., a solvent extraction residue obtained from the solvent extraction of oleaginous material. In particular, the invention describes desolventiser toaster or combined desolventiser toaster dryer cooler of improved design equipped with a side vapours outlet and optionally combined with at least one sieve stripping tray to allow nearly the full saturation of the outgoing vapours with hexane.

The present invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising cyclodextrins or carbohydrates. The present invention also relates to the use of such compositions in the binding and removal of mycotoxins from foodstuff. The invention also includes compositions that show a broad affinity for mycotoxins.
