  • Patent number: 10292406
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a product from a plant material comprising the steps of providing a disrupted plant material comprising <10% (w/w) starch and <10% (w/w) oil/lipids; adjusting the pH of the disrupted plant material to a value of pH 3.5 or below to provide an acidic suspension; heating the acidic suspension to a temperature in the range of about 50° C. to about 80° C.; isolating the product from the heated, acidic suspension. The product may be a protein product or a non-protein product. In particular, the process of the invention provides a protein product with reduced contents of non-protein components of negative nutritional value.
    Type: Grant
