Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for extracting and purifying pea proteins. Hereto, according to the invention, peas are subjected to fermentation, preferably by lactic acid bacteria, prior to milling. Preferably the method for extracting pea proteins comprises the steps of: (a) subjecting an aqueous composition comprising peas to fermentation; (b) milling said peas; (c) fractionating said milled peas so as to obtain at least one protein comprising fraction; and (d) isolating pea proteins from said at least one protein comprising fraction. Also described are food or feed products comprising the pea proteins obtained according to the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing a composition comprising fructan and sucrose, comprising the step of incubating a composition comprising fructan and sucrose, preferably inulin and sucrose, with at least one yeast selected from the group consisting of Saccharomyces, and Kluyveromyces. Incubation with these yeasts results in the breakdown of free sugars such that purified fructan compositions are obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making crystallized fructose comprising preparing a pure fructose syrup by melting fructose dihydrate crystals, concentrating the melt by heating under reduced pressure to obtain a dry matter content above 96% by weight, seeding the concentrated syrup with fructose crystals, and solidifying the seeded syrup. In a preferred process, the time between the melting the fructose dihydrate crystals and the concentration of the syrup to a dry matter content above 96% by weight is less than 24 hours, preferably less than 8 hours. The invention also relates to crystallized fructose produced by the process of the present invention wherein the fructose is comprised primarily of the beta-D-fructopyranose fructose crystals tautomers with low amounts of other fructose tautomers which are considered impurities in the crystallization context.
