  • Canola protein isolate functionality II
    Patent number: 7989017
    Abstract: A canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % (Nx 6.25) is employed as an at least partial replacement for at least one component providing functionality in a food composition. The canola protein isolate is a blend of canola protein isolate in the form of an amorphous protein mass formed by settling the solid phase of a dispersion of protein micelles and mixing the amorphous mass with concentrated supernatant from the settling step and drying the mixture.
    Type: Grant

  • Canola protein isolate functionality III
    Patent number: 7776378
    Abstract: A canola protein isolate having a protein of at least about 90 wt % (N×6.25) is employed as an at least partial replacement for at least one component providing functionality in a food composition. The canola protein isolate is a dried concentrated supernatant from the settling of a solid phase of a dispersion of canola protein micelles.
