Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of maintaining corn protein yield during extraction and managing stickiness and viscosity comprising obtaining a corn material having a corn protein content and washing the corn material to remove non-protein components with an ethanol-water solvent comprising at least 85 wt % ethanol to obtain a corn protein isolate, wherein the loss of corn protein content during extraction is less than 10% of total corn protein.
