Patent number: 7070827Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making a vegetable base meat analog, which may be used in a variety of vegetarian food products, such as burger patties and sausages. The process of the present invention involves sequentially blending methyl cellulose into a water/ice mix to form a cream, then blending in a modified gluten, a vegetable protein product having high solubility in water and capable of forming a gel with mild heat treatment, an oil to make an emulsion base, and a modified food starch and flavoring ingredients to form a flavored emulsion base. The flavored emulsion base may be stuffed into casings, and then cooked. The flavored emulsion base, once cooked, is a vegetable base meat analog and has a high resemblance to processed meat products having improved handling properties. The addition of the flavored emulsion base and the vegetable base meat analog in vegetarian food products improves the texture, mouthfeel, and juiciness of the resulting products.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Solae, LLCInventors: Vincent Cavallini, Paul G.

Patent number: 6797309Abstract: This invention relates to a soy protein product with a modified sugar profile. The soy protein product has desirable flavor and functional properties. The soy protein product has a high sucrose and monosaccharide content and is low in indigestible oligosaccharides. The soy protein product does not have galactinol that is present in soybeans developed to have a low indigestible oligosaccharide content. The soy protein product is rich in isoflavones. The method for manufacturing the soy protein product uses conventional soybeans that have better agronomic properties than soybeans developed to have a low indigestible oligosaccharide content. The method for manufacturing the soy protein product uses a &agr;-galactosidase enzyme. The method for manufacturing the soy protein product retains the natural level of isoflavones occurring in soybeans.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Solae, LLCInventor: Charles W.

Patent number: 6703051Abstract: A method is provided for separating and recovering protein and isoflavones from a plant material. A clarified protein extract of the plant material is prepared and contacted with a polar ion exchange resin, such as an anion exchange resin allowing the isoflavones in the extract to bind with the ion exchange resin and depleting the extract of isoflavones. A protein extract which has been depleted of isoflavones is separated from the ion exchange resin, and an isoflavone depleted protein material is recovered from the isoflavone depleted extract. After removal of the isoflavone depleted extract from the resin, the isoflavones are separated and recovered from the ion exchange resin. Recovered isoflavone glycosides and isoflavone glycoside conjugates may be converted to their corresponding aglucone isoflavone form.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1998Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Solae, LLCInventors: Gregory A.
