  • Plant-Based Whey Protein and Methods for Producing Plant-Based Whey Protein from By-Products and Waste-Streams
    Publication number: 20200337324
    Abstract: Methods for preparation of plant-based whey protein concentrates are provided. Also provided are the plant-based whey protein concentrates made using the methods. The methods utilize an enzymatic reaction to reduce the molecular weight of soluble carbohydrates in a plant-based whey and a single nanofiltration/ultrafiltration and/or diafiltration step to separate soluble non-protein components from the proteins.

  • METHODS FOR MAKING PULSE PROTEIN COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20200281246
    Abstract: Methods of making food-grade plant protein compositions are provided. The methods use pulses, such as yellow peas, and flours derived therefrom. The methods utilize an acid precipitation on an aqueous solution of water-soluble pulse proteins, separation of the water-soluble pulse proteins into curds that include precipitated pulse proteins and an acid whey that includes unprecipitated pulse proteins, including albumin proteins, and removing pulse proteins from the acid whey.
