    Abstract: Soybeans (Glycine max) possessing a novel genetic allele for the production of reduced trypsin inhibitor in seeds is provided. Such alleles can be readily transferred to other soybean lines and cultivars. In a preferred embodiment a soybean plant possesses the combined presence of the Kunitz allele along with the SG-ULTI mutant allele, the combination of which was found to produce an ultra-low trypsin inhibitor phenotype in the resulting progeny seeds of a cross of a Kunitz allele into the 435.TCS background. A seed or seed product is made possible in this instance that is particularly well suited for consumption without extensive processing to remove trypsin inhibitor.

    Abstract: Ready-to-eat cereal flakes include 10 to 50 weight percent (wt %) legumes, such as black beans, and have a can weight of 19 to 22 ounces per 231 cubic inches and structural integrity similar to conventional ready-to-eat cereal flakes. The cereal flakes also include 6 to 13 wt % protein isolate, processing aid in an amount of 3 to 9 wt % and 18 to 66 wt % grains. The cereal flakes provide at least 7 grams of protein and at least 6 grams of fiber per 52 gram serving. In one process, the cereal flakes are formed by cooking and extruding a combined mass of the legumes, protein isolate, processing aid and grains without expansion of the combined mass. The extruded mass is processed in a cold pellet former and cut into a plurality of non-expanded pellets which are dried to a moisture content of 14 to 24 wt %. The pellets are then flaked at a temperature of 110 to 150° F. and dried to a final moisture of 1 to 5 wt %.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a soybean paste including: flaking or crushing raw soybeans, immersing the resulting flaked or crushed soybeans in water, followed by cooking and cooling, homogeneously mixing the soybeans with koji bacteria and a bean or grain powder, followed by fermenting and drying, and mixing the meju with table salt and distilled water and aging the resulting mixture. In accordance with the method, the soybeans are flaked or crushed to advantageously reduce hydrating and cooking periods of soybeans, form cracks on the soybean surfaces and increase surface areas, and allow beneficial microorganisms to easily use nutrients contained in soybeans, thus increase enzyme production, considerably reduce fermentation period of meju and aging period of soybean paste, obtain manufacturing soybean pastes with superior quality and improve production efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8257772
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a vegetable protein fraction, in particular for producing vegetable ice cream, is described wherein vegetable parts are added to water or to an aqueous solvent in order to dissolve and/or disperse vegetable proteins from the vegetable parts, and wherein one or more vegetable protein fractions are separated from the aqueous mixture thus obtained by the separation. According to the method, one or more substances having lipophilic or amphiphilic boundary surfaces are added to the aqueous mixture in order to separate one or more vegetable protein fractions, to which dissolved and/or dispersed proteins having lipophilic or amphiphilic groups in the mixture attach. The substances including the attached proteins are separated from the mixture. A vegetable protein fraction having particularly good emulsifying characteristics is obtained by the method, the protein fraction being advantageous as an emulsifier in the production of vegetable ice cream.

    Abstract: Raw beans are hydrated in a hydration/wetting liquid (water or a broth of water and bean solids) in a stationary hydration vessel for an amount of time sufficient to obtain uniformly hydrated beans. In one embodiment, more wetting liquid than necessary is used. In this embodiment, the hydrated beans are separated from the excess wetting liquid remaining at the end of hydration, and all of the excess wetting liquid is used to hydrate subsequent raw beans. In a second embodiment, the hydration liquid is of an amount such that, at the end of hydration, the hydration vessel is substantially free of excess wetting liquid; here, the beans may be agitated during hydration so as to be maintained in uniform contact with the hydration liquid. In all embodiments, the hydrated beans are then steam cooked in a separate stationary cooking vessel that contains no wetting liquid.
