Patent number: 11582987Abstract: A method for producing a clean-tasting, neutral-color, concentrated, liquid protein base including separating fibrous material from the protein base. The method further includes applying ultrasonication to the protein base at an ulirasonication unit according to ulirasonication settings. The ultrasonication settmgs are adapted to cause acoustic cavitation within the protein base. The method further includes filtering the protein base through one or more membrane filters after separating the fibrous material from the protein base. The method further includes processing the protein base to form a protein ingredient in certain cases, the method further includes processing the separated fibrous material to produce a dietary fiber. Processing the fibrous material includes converting gelatinized starch from the separated fibrous material into resistant starch.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: WhiteWave Services, Inc.Inventors: Huimin Krystal Zhang, Jonathan Arthur Gray, Luke Michael Chavez, Wendy Kay Behr
