The present invention addresses the problem of providing a means for efficiently producing a plant protein concentrate to be utilized in foods, beverages, etc. The present invention also addresses the problem of raising the utility value of plant proteins and contributing to the improvement of quality in existing uses and the discovery of new uses by making it possible to produce a plant protein concentrate having improved physical properties (especially solubility). The yield of plant protein is improved by treating a plant protein raw material such as peas, soybeans, almonds, etc., with a protein deamidase.

This disclosure provides novel silk fibroin protein based additives for foods or beverage products, and foodstuffs mixed or coated with pure silk fibroin-based proteins or protein fragments, and methods of making thereof.

The present invention relates generally to the field of liquid food compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to liquid food compositions that can be used as dairy alternatives. Dairy alternatives usually do not comprise dairy proteins. For example, such dairy alternatives may comprise alternative protein sources. The liquid food composition of the present invention contains ea protein. Hence, the present invention relates, for example, to a liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, sunflower oil, sugar, gellan gum, tribasic calcium phosphate, inulin, dipotassium phosphate, and water, wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy proteins.

The present invention relates to the food field. The invention provides a method for obtaining an improved property in a drink comprising a plant protein, said method comprising incubating a solution comprising a plant protein with phytase and a peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD) and optionally processing the phytase and PAD treated solution into a drink comprising a plant protein, wherein the plant protein is pea protein or faba bean protein.

The present invention provides a non-dairy, chickpea-based alternative milk. More particularly, the present invention discloses a barista milk alternative comprising chickpea isolate. Said milk alternative does not exhibit curdling when used to making coffee, is highly nutritious and resembles bovine milk in terms of organoleptic properties. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for producing a non-dairy, chickpea-based barista milk alternative, which does curdle when used to making coffee.
