  • Patent number: 4008334
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for removal of all water soluble carbohydrates in the production of plant protein products, including oligosaccharides containing alpha-1,6-galactosidic bonds which are known to cause flatulence in man and animals. In the method an aqueous solution or dispersion of the plant protein material containing 1-60%, and preferably 15-50% of the dry matter is fermented with particular strains of Saccharomyces that have been found to degrade and assimilate flatus-causing carbohydrates. The fermentation is effected at a temperature between 20.degree. and 40.degree. C for from 12 to 48 hours, on which, if desired, the fermented material is dried.
