Claims13
1-14. (canceled)
A method of producing an enzyme-modified soybean product comprising
- (a) obtaining soybean flakes;
- and
- (b) optionally grinding the soybean flakes;
- and
- (c) treating an aqueous slurry of the soybean flakes or the ground soybean flakes with a microbial proteolytic enzyme having specificity for arginine and/or lysine.

A method of producing an enzyme-modified soybean meal comprising
- (a) obtaining soybean flakes;
- (b) defatting the soybean flakes by solvent extraction;
- (c) grinding the defatted soybean flakes to a soybean meal;
- and
- (d) treating an aqueous slurry of the defatted soybean flakes or the soybean meal with a microbial proteolytic enzyme having specificity for arginine and/or lysine;
- wherein step c) is performed before or after step d).
3 more elements
A soybean meal which:
- (a) has a pH in aqueous solution between 6 and 7,
- (b) comprises at least 20% carbohydrate of total dry matter,
- (c) has an average particle size above 150 micrometers,
- (d) has a nitrogen solubility index at pH 6.5 of at least 50%, and
- (e) has a degree of hydrolysis of between 0.2 and 3%.
