Embodiments herein include methods for producing black-eyed pea protein isolates and food and beverage products including the same. In an embodiment, a method can include tempering black-eyed pea seeds to 35-45% moisture content and holding 30-120 min, cracking the tempered seeds to loosen the hull and the meat, and separating these two fractions. The method can further include wet-grinding the meat fraction to a finer mash and lowering the pH of the black-eyed pea mash to about 1 to 3 in an aqueous solvent. The method can further include separating an acidic wet cake out from the acidic protein liquid fraction and raising the pH of the acidic wet cake to about 9 to 11 in an aqueous solvent. The method can further include separating alkaline wet cake out from the alkaline protein liquid fraction and combining the acid and alkali protein liquid fractions. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Provided are compositions comprising microbially derived proteins obtained from the fermentation of biomass and methods for producing high-protein food compositions derived from said compositions. The disclosure also provides compositions and methods to increase the protein nutritional quality score of a food composition while maintaining traditional food forms. Also disclosed are methods for producing protein powders with tailored water holding capacity to provide properties similar to conventional food ingredients.
