A system and method for vicine/covicine removal includes generating a feed stock from a plant-based protein source, the plant-based protein source having anti-nutritionals disposed therein, including vicine and covicine. The system and method includes generating an ethanol slurry by combining the feed stock with an ethanol wash containing a first volume of ethanol and processing the ethanol slurry through an extractor to generate an ethanol matrix and a feed stock mass. The method and system further includes providing the feed stock mass to a desolventizer and generating a desolventized feed stock mass therefrom. Therein, the method and system includes drying the desolventized feed stock mass to generate a clean feed stock with at least a portion of the vicine/covicine removed therefrom.

The present invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising cyclodextrins or carbohydrates. The present invention also relates to the use of such compositions in the binding and removal of mycotoxins from foodstuff. The invention also includes compositions that show a broad affinity for mycotoxins.

A gluten free native rapeseed protein isolate comprising <10 ppm gliadin and processes to obtain the gluten free native rapeseed protein isolate comprising <10 ppm gliadin.

Methods of manufacturing products from material comprising oilcake, compositions produced from materials comprising processed oilcake, and systems for processing oilcake are provided herein. The method comprises de-solubilizing protein in a material comprising oilcake to produce a processed material comprising an insoluble protein fraction. The processed material is hydrolyzed to produce a mixture comprising the insoluble protein fraction and a hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is separated from the hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is processed into a product.

A system and method for anti-nutritional removal includes generating a feed stock from a plant-based protein source, the plant-based protein source having anti-nutritionals disposed therein. The system and method includes generating an ethanol slurry by combining the feed stock with an ethanol wash containing a first volume of ethanol and processing the ethanol slurry through an extractor to generate an ethanol matrix and a feed stock mass. The method and system further includes providing the feed stock mass to a desolventizer and generating a desolventized feed stock mass therefrom. Therein, the method and system includes drying the desolventized feed stock mass to generate a clean feed stock with at least a portion of the anti-nutritionals removed therefrom. In one embodiment, the feed stock may be fava beans with the removal of vicine and covicine as anti-nutritionals.

The present invention relates to a processed, solid soya protein product derived from soya bean meal (SBM) which protein product comprises 65-75% protein by weight of dry matter, has a protein to potassium weight ratio of at least about 70:1 and a dry matter content of at least about 90%, which product is substantially free of sodium, and wherein at least about 65% by weight of the indigestible oligosaccharide content of the SBM wherefrom the protein product is derived has been removed. The invention further relates to a leaching method for manufacture of the product as well as product obtainable by the method and use of the processed, solid soya protein product.

A soy protein concentrate production process may involve performing multiple liquid extraction steps on a soy feedstock. The soy may be subject to a hexane extraction step to produce a first miscella stream and a solvent-wet soy meal stream. The solvent-wet soy meal stream may be desolventized and then subject to a second hydrous ethanol extraction step to produce a second miscella stream and a solvent-wet soy protein concentrate steam. To purify and recover the second miscella stream, the stream may be chilled to flocculate solid impurities and then passed through a mechanical separation device, such as a centrifuge. In some configurations, the resulting solid impurities from the mechanical separation process are recycled to a desolventization press that desolventizes the solvent-wet soy meal stream from the ethanol extraction step before subsequent thermal desolventization.
