  • Publication number: 20240365811
    Abstract: This specification discloses methods for removing unwanted flavors from legume protein concentrates, which are powdered legume compositions that have been classified to increase the protein compared to the protein content of the base legume. In at least some embodiments the methods are used to make de-flavored fava bean protein concentrates. Advantageously, the methods are selected to minimize damage to the de-flavored legume protein concentrates by reference to percent change of denaturation enthalpy compared an untreated legume protein concentrate.

  • Patent number: 11969003
    Abstract: The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to a heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates having between 50% and 73% and a denaturation enthalpy from about 5.5 and 6.5 J/g. This is limited degree of denaturation. The disclosed heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates are useful as emulsifiers, and good solubility in water, and reduced flavor.
