Abstract:
A process for producing a soybean protein hydrolysate, which comprises:(i) hydrolyzing an aqueous soybean protein solution with a proteolytic enzyme to form a hydrolyzed mixture, (ii) subjecting the hydrolyzed mixture to heating at 75 to 160Â° C. for 105.25âˆ’(0.05Ã—T) minutes or less wherein T is the heating temperature (Â° C.) to form a heated hydrolyzed mixture, (iii) cooling the heated hydrolyzed mixture to 60Â° C. or less, (iv) separating and removing insolubles from the cooled mixture at a pH of 4.0-6.2 to obtain a supernatant, and (v) subjecting the supernatant to heat-sterilization, to obtain the soybean protein hydrolysate.
