The present disclosure relates generally to soybean products derived from high protein soybeans, and more specifically to soybean compositions having high protein content and methods of preparing and using such protein enriched soybean compositions. The present disclosure also relates to uses of the protein enriched soybean compositions in food products.

Provided herein are processes for producing a sunflower seed protein isolate (SFPI) from de-oiled sunflower seed flour that is economical and produces oil seed protein isolate that has unique composition and functionality. The process involves use of low temperatures, below where denaturation of proteins occurs, to produce a sunflower seed protein product with a protein content 80-98 wt % (N6.25) on a dry basis and 3% oil while substantially maintaining the native form of the proteins in the flour.

Provided herein are processes for producing a canola seed protein isolate (CPI) from de-oiled canola flour that is economical and produces canola protein isolate that has unique composition and functionality. The process involves use of low temperatures below where denaturation of proteins occurs to produce a canola protein product with a protein content 80-98 wt % (N6.25) on a dry basis while substantially maintaining the native form of the proteins in the flour.

Disclosed is a method for extracting fat from whey protein concentrate. The method also extracts lactose from whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate can be produced from whey protein concentrate, high-fat whey protein concentrate, or both, using the method of the invention.

A sweetened, non-fat Allium-based flavoring material, which can be caramelized, compositions comprising the flavoring material, and processes to produce the flavoring material.

In a method for extracting contaminants from agrarian products or foods or animal feeds containing agrarian products, comprising contacting a solvent for the contaminants with the agrarian products containing or having adsorbed the contaminants, or the foods or animal feeds, and at least one extraction buffer in an optionally closable mixing vessel, the extraction buffer, which is contained in a film soluble in the solvent and is supplemented with at least one surfactant, in particular nonionic surfactant, and the contaminated agrarian product or food or animal feed are contacted with cold water as solvent in the mixing vessel, and the extraction buffer and the contaminants are brought into solution by agitating or stirring in the mixing vessel; and apparatus therefor.

The present invention features methods of extracting amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) from processed and unprocessed foodstuff, determining bioactivity of ATIs, qualifying the amount of ATIs in a foodstuff, and reducing the content of ATIs in a foodstuff.

A method of preparing genipin-rich materials from the fruit of Genipa americana fruit for their use as a cross-linking agent and as a raw material to produce colors is disclosed. The genipin-rich materials can be used in a broad range of applications including personal care, cosmetics, dietary supplements, packaging, textiles, beverages, foodstuffs, drugs, and animal feeds.

Process for removing pesticides from Ginkgo biloba extracts, which involves submitting an extract obtained by conventional methods to the following steps: a. Liquid-liquid extraction of the extract to obtain a medium polarity fraction containing ginkgo terpenes and pesticides not removable with hexane, and a high polarity fraction containing ginkgo flavone glycosides; b. crystallisation from the medium polarity fraction obtained at step a) to give an intermediate with a ginkgolide content of not less than 50%; c. crystallisation from the residual solution obtained at step b) to give an intermediate with a bilobalide content of not less than 50%; d. mixing of the high polarity fraction obtained at step a) with the ginkgo terpene intermediate and the bilobalide intermediate obtained at steps b) and c).

Described herein is a corn protein concentrate comprising 55%-80% corn protein on a dry basis, an a* color value between about 0 and 4, and a b* color value between about 15 and 3, and less than about 2% oil on a dry basis; and a method of manufacturing the same.
