Abstract

The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to a heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates having between 50% and 73% and a denaturation enthalpy from about 5.5 and 6.5 J/g. This is limited degree of denaturation. The disclosed heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrates are useful as emulsifiers, and good solubility in water, and reduced flavor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate having between 50% and 73%, and a denaturation enthalpy from about 5.5 and 6.5 J/g.

2. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a surface mean diameter of between about 5 and 20 microns, and a volume mean diameter of between about 20 and 100 microns.

3. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a denaturation enthalpy is between 10% and 30% less than an untreated fava bean protein concentrate.

4. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a surface mean diameter at least than 1.5 times the surface mean diameter of particles of an untreated fava bean protein concentrate.

5. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a volume mean diameter at least 3-time volume mean diameter of particles of an untreated fava protein concentrate.

6. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a peak denaturation temperature of between 85° and 88.5° C.

7. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a percent protein soluble in water of from about 60 to about 70%.

8. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 55% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, the chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of Hexanal, 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, 3-Methyl-1-Butanol, 2-Pentyl-Furan, 1-Pentanol, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, Acetic Acid, 3-Methyl-Butanoic Acid, Benzenemethanol, Benzeneethanol, Eicosane, Nonadecane.

9. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 70% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, the chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of Hexanal, 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, 3-Methyl-1-Butanol, 2-Pentyl-Furan, 1-Pentanol, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, Acetic Acid, Benzenemethanol, Benzeneethanol, Eicosane, Nonadecane.

10. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 75% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, 3-Methyl-1-Butanol, 2-Pentyl-Furan, 1-Pentanol, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, Acetic Acid, 3-Methyl-Butanoic Acid, Benzenemethanol, Benzeneethanol, Eicosane, Nonadecane.

11. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 80% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, 3-Methyl-1-Butanol, 1-Pentanol, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, 3-Methyl-Butanoic Acid, Benzenemethanol, Benzeneethanol, Eicosane, Nonadecane.

12. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 85% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, 3-Methyl-1-Butanol, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, 3-Methyl-Butanoic Acid, Benzenemethanol.

13. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 having a % reduction of at least 90% (measured using the GC/MS method provided in this specification) of at least one chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrate wherein, optionally, chemical present in an untreated fava bean protein concentrated is at least one of 2-Penten-1-Ol, (Z)-, N Heptanal, Ethenyl-Benzene, 1-Hexanol, 3-Methyl-Butanoic Acid, Benzenemethanol.

14. The heat-moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 wherein the protein content is from about or from about 55% to about 70% protein (wt. %).

15. The heat moisture treated fava bean protein concentrate of claim 1 wherein the percent protein soluble in water is from about 60% to about 68%.
