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.

This invention provides a novel flavor composition containing a Jerusalem artichoke extract, and methods of preparation and uses thereof in improving, enhancing or modifying flavors in consumables.

The present disclosure discloses a method for modification of mung bean protein and preparation of simulated egg pulp based on the modified protein. A commercial mung bean protein isolate is used as a raw material in the present disclosure, then subjected to pH shift modification, ultrasonic treatment and protein-glutaminase treatment for compound modification to prepare a high-functionality modified mung bean protein isolate; and the modified mung bean protein isolate is used as a raw material, using high-speed emulsification and high-pressure homogenization are conducted to obtain a high-stability mung bean protein-based simulated egg pulp. In the present disclosure, the mung bean protein isolate prepared by compound modification has good solubility, emulsifying property and gelling property. The mung bean protein-based simulated egg pulp is in the form of a stable emulsion and has good fluidity and moderate gelling property, and uniformity and stability can still be maintained for a long time.

Provided herein are methods for producing an adzuki 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 adzuki bean proteins from an adzuki 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.

Provided is an egg replacer, and compositions comprising such egg replacer, and methods for producing the same.
