Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a pea extract comprising fibres, the process comprising the following steps: (a) bringing shelled peas into contact with an aqueous solution in order to form an aqueous composition comprising peas; (b) leaving the peas to hydrate in said aqueous composition for at least 30 minutes and at most 15 hours; (c) grinding said peas in order to as a result obtain ground peas; and (d) fractionating said ground peas in order to obtain at least one pea extract comprising fibres. The invention also relates to a pea extract that can be obtained according to the process of the invention. The invention also relates to an edible composition comprising the pea extract according to the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for extracting and purifying pea proteins, comprising the steps of (a) providing an aqueous composition comprising pea proteins; (b) isolating said pea proteins from said aqueous composition comprising pea proteins; (c) obtaining said isolated pea proteins as an aqueous slurry having a pH ranging from 4.0 to 5.8; and (d) subjecting said aqueous slurry having a pH ranging from 4.0 to 5.8 to a temperature of at least 75° C. Also described herein are pea protein compositions and are food or feed products comprising said pea protein compositions.

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.
