Abstract: The present invention describes a process for modifying a sweet protein or a taste modifying protein, comprising incubating a sweet protein solution or a taste modifying protein solution with a peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the food field. The invention provides a method for preparing a plant protein comprising food product with an improved property, said method comprising incubating a solution comprising a plant protein with phytase (to obtain a phytase-treated solution) and optionally processing the phytase-treated solution into a food product comprising a plant protein.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for preparing a fermented food product comprising a plant protein, comprising incubating a solution comprising a plant protein with phytase, and fermenting a solution comprising a plant protein with lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the food field. The invention provides a method for obtaining an improved property in a drink comprising a plant protein, said method comprising incubating a solution comprising a plant protein with phytase and a peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD) and optionally processing the phytase and PAD treated solution into a drink comprising a plant protein, wherein the plant protein is pea protein or faba bean protein.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for modifying a sweet protein or a taste modifying protein, comprising incubating a sweet protein solution or a taste modifying protein solution with a peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD).

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for modifying sweetness, liquorice, astringency, powdery/chalk, fulness, thickness and/or digestibility and/or protease inhibitory activity of a protein comprising food.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a modified rapeseed protein isolate and to a process for making a modified rapeseed protein isolate with the aid of a peptidyl arginine deiminase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing gelatin comprising a step of incubating a material comprising collagen with an enzyme composition comprising an acid protease which has at least 70% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and preparing the gelatin. The invention also relates to gelatin obtained by a process as disclosed herein.
