Abstract
A canola protein isolate having a protein 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 dried concentrated supernatant from the settling of a solid phase of a dispersion of canola protein micelles.
Claims3
1 In a food composition comprising a foodstuff and at least one component providing functionality in said food composition, the improvement which comprises at least partially replacing said at least one component by a substantially undenatured canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt %, as determined by Kjeldahl nitrogen x6.25 on a dry weight basis, said canola protein isolate exhibiting a protein profile which is:
- about 60 to about 95 wt % of 2S protein
- about 5 to about 90 wt % of 7S protein
- 0 to about 5 wt % of 1 2S protein
The composition of claim 1 wherein said canola protein isolate is a dried concentrated supernatant from the settling of a solid phase from an aqueous dispersion of canola protein miscelles.
In a food composition comprising a foodstuff and at least one component providing functionality in said food composition, the improvement which comprises at least partially replacing said at least one component by a substantially undenatured canola protein isolate having a protein content of at least about 90 wt % as determined by Kjeldahl nitrogen x6.25 on a dry weight basis, said canola protein isolate being a dried concentrated supernatant from the settling of a solid phase from an aqueous dispersion of canola protein micelles.
