The present invention is directed to non-soy oilseed protein products, very low in, or free of, beany, green, vegetable or similar flavour notes and useful for the fortification of food and beverage products and prepared without the use of salt in the process. The non-soy oilseed protein products of the present invention are obtained by extracting non-soy oilseed protein source with water to form an aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution, at least partially separating the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution from residual non-soy oilseed protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous non-soy oilseed protein solution to a pH between about 1.5 and a value about 1 pH unit lower than the typical pH of isoelectric precipitation to solubilize the bulk of the protein and form an acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution then separating the acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution from the acid insoluble solid material. The acidified non-soy oilseed protein solution may be dried following optional concentration and diafiltration to form a non-soy oilseed protein product, which may be an isolate. The acid insoluble solid material may be washed with acidified water and then dried to form another non-soy oilseed protein product. These products may be dried at the acidic pH at which they were prepared or may be adjusted in pH before drying.

A method is disclosed for making palatable methionine-restricted foods, to deliver a methionine-restricted diet to human or veterinary patients. A protein or a food product containing protein is partially oxidized, preferably with ozone, to oxidize nearly all of the methionine and cysteine. After oxidation, tryptophan and lysine are optionally added back since they tend to be oxidized also. Optionally, a small amount of methionine is also added back so that the final methionine is within a preferred range of about 0.85 to about 1.8 gram methionine per 100 gram total protein, preferably about 1.2 gram per 100 gram total protein.
