  • Method For The Preparation Of A High-Purity Rice Protein Concentrate
    Publication number: 20140087023
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a rice protein concentrate from a rice substrate comprising, enzymatically hydrolyzing a rice substrate with an enzyme having granular starch hydrolyzing (GSH) activity and a second starch hydrolyzing enzyme at a temperature at or below 72° C. and at a pH of about 3.0 to 6.5 to obtain a solubilized starch fraction and a residue fraction which includes insoluble protein, and separating the solubilized starch fraction from the residue to obtain a rice protein concentrate. The rice protein concentrate may be used in animal feed and human food formulations.
