  • Patent number: 5061508
    Abstract: A gluten-based food product derived from wheat, fortified with L-lysine and flavored to provide a food that is not only a complete protein source high in fiber and low in fat and cholesterol, but one which is exceptionally palatable. To make this product, a protein-rich mass of gluten is extracted from wheat flour. Kneaded, cut, punched or otherwise introduced into the mass is L-lysine powder in an amount sufficient to form in combination with the gluten a complete protein. The l-lysine is intermixed with a seasoning powder which acts as a carrier to distribute the L-lysine throughout the mass and thereby provide a fortified and flavored mass which is then divided into food units.

  • Patent number: 4950496
    Abstract: A gluten-based food product derived from whole wheat, fortified with L-lysine and flavored to provide a food that is not only a complete protein source high in fiber and low in fat and cholesterol, but one which is exceptionally palatable. To make this product, a protein-rich mass of gluten is extracted from wheat flour. Kneaded into this mass is L-lysine and a seasoning mixture. The mass so treated is then divided into shaped units, each unit and an appropriate amount of water being sealed in a bag which is then heated to coagulate and set the treated mass to create a self-sufficient food product.
