Abstract
Novel water-soluble free-flowing protein-fibre products are provided from cereal grains, such as wheat, free from starch, bran and low molecular weight degradation products thereof. Starch contaminants in soluble fractions of the cereal grains are removed by enzymatic degradation and separation. The protein to fibre ratio of the product may be modified by enzymatic treatment. Such materials are useful in a wide variety of food application.
