Abstract

A bland, protein enriched product is produced by contacting crude grain gluten with a solvent containing about 70 to 100 percent ethyl acetate, 0 to 15 percent aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and 0 to 30 percent water, wherein the percentages are by weight based upon the total weight of solvent, separating the gluten from the solvent, washing the separated gluten with water, separating the washed gluten from the water and drying the washed gluten product.
