Abstract

Vegetable protein source materials are dispersed in water at a pH in the range of 2 to 6 and an acid phytase is included therein. The acidic extract containing soluble protein is separated and dried to yield a solid protein of desirable character. A protease can also be used to improve the characteristics of the protein.
