TEXTURIASED PEA PROTEINS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23J1/14 A23J3/26 A23L1/20 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is aimed at using in food products both for people and animals. Granulated pea protein composition is characterised by the fact that protein content in it in terms of dry substance is equal to 70-95 wt % on dry basis, preferably 70-90 wt % on dry basis, more preferably 80-85 wt % on dry basis; average diametre is equal to 150-300 mcm, compressibility coefficient defined by Hosokawa method is equal to 5-15%, preferably 8-13%, and compressibility density defined by Hosokawa method is equal to 0.450-0.650 g/ml, preferably 0.550-0.600 g/ml. Description is also given to the granulated pea protein composition in question, its usage as raw material for texturised pea proteins production and the texturised pea proteins produced by the said method.

EFFECT: invention allows for the production of texturised pea proteins with good water-retaining capacity, low density and well-oriented fibrous structure.
