Claim 3:
4. A process for treating a pea soluble fraction for obtaining a pea albumin as claimed in claim 1, comprising the steps of:
a. providing a pea soluble fraction;
b. vacuum degassing of the pea soluble fraction leading to a degassed soluble fraction;
c. microfiltering or centrifuging of the degassed soluble fraction leading to a microfiltration permeate or a centrifugation supernatant;
d. ultrafiltering the microfiltration permeate or centrifugation supernatant, leading to an ultrafiltration retentate;
e. optionally reverse osmosis of the ultrafiltration permeate, leading to a permeate and a retentate resulting from the reverse osmosis;
f. neutralizing the pH of the retentates obtained during step d) or e);
g. UHT heat treating of the neutralized retentate of step f) leading to a heat-treated retentate; and
h. drying the heat-treated retentate of step g).
