Claims3
A process for preparing a reduced-bitterness composition comprising leguminous-plant proteins, comprising the steps of:
- preparing an aqueous solution or suspension comprising leguminous-plant proteins and sodium citrate, in such a way as to obtain a (dry/dry) ratio of weight of leguminous-plant proteins/weight of sodium citrate of between 5 and 2500;
- heat-sterilizing said aqueous solution or suspension at a temperature of between 125° C. and 134° C. for a period of between 90 and 300 seconds, or at a temperature of between 135° C. and 144° C. for a period of between 90 and 210 seconds, or at a temperature of between 145° C. and 155° C. for a period of between 20 and 90 seconds, and
- obtaining the reduced-bitterness composition,
- wherein the leguminous-plant proteins are selected from the group consisting of pea, broad bean, horse bean, and mixtures thereof.
