Claim 8:
9. A process for producing an isolated wheat protein, comprising:
mixing water and a composition comprising wheat protein, the composition having a protein content of at least 60% by weight to form a slurry having a total solids content ranging from 6% to 22% on a dry basis and a pH of above 4.5;
determining a viscosity of the slurry;
agitating the slurry at a temperature between 15° C. and 52° C. for a time of from 30 to 380 minutes and to a viscosity of between 170-240 cps, thus producing an isolated wheat protein;
drying the isolated wheat protein;
wherein at least 85% of granules of the dried isolated wheat protein are able to pass through a #60 mesh sieve; where in neither an acid or a buffer are added to the slurry during the process; and
wherein the composition comprising the wheat protein is selected from the group consisting of wheat gluten, vital wheat gluten, wheat protein isolates, or wheat protein concentrates.
