Abstract

A method of producing a mineral enriched protein composition for use in the production of liquid foodstuffs comprising: Forming a hydrated gel of an alkaline earth salt, such as a calcium salt and adding the hydrated gel to a slurry of a soy protein isolate to form a mineral enriched soy protein composition. The composition can then be dried and upon resuspension in a liquid foodstuff results in improved suspension of the mineral in the foodstuff.
