A method of creating nutritional supplements including the steps of obtaining a customer's nutrient deficiency, calculating an ionic supplement composition based on the underlying element composition of the delivery product and the deficiency information, and mixing the ionic elements in dehydrated form with an appropriate liquid suspension.

[Problem] To provide a sesame-containing liquid seasoning which has an enhanced aroma unique to sesame and also has an original aroma which is irresistible and addictive. [Solution] The present invention is a liquid seasoning containing sesame, including a linear alkanethiol and a dimethylpyrazine which is at least one of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, wherein the ratio of the peak area of the linear alkanethiol to the peak area of the dimethylpyrazine is 0.05 or more and less than 1.0 when the aroma components of the liquid seasoning are measured by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Such a liquid seasoning shows an enhanced aroma unique to sesame and an original aroma which is irresistible and addictive.

A pulse protein product having a protein content of at least about 50 wt % (N6.25) d.b. is recovered in the processing of pulse protein source material to form pulse protein products wherein the pulse protein source is extracted in one embodiment with calcium salt solution. The resulting pulse protein solution is separated from the bulk of the residual pulse protein source and then the pulse protein solution is processed to remove finer residual solids, which are optionally washed and then dried to provide the pulse protein product. In another embodiment, the pulse protein source is extracted with water, the bulk of the residual protein source removed and the resulting pulse protein solution treated with calcium salt to precipitate phytic acid. The precipitated phytic acid and any finer residual solids remaining in solution after the initial separation step are removed from the pulse protein solution then optionally washed and dried to provide the pulse protein product.
