| abstract |
Aglucone isoflavone enriched protein concentrates and processes for producing and recovering are disclosed. The process comprises an isoelectric wash of a vegetable protein material to provide a protein concentrate, which is slurried and reacted with a sufficient amount of beta-glucosidase enzyme or esterase enzyme for a time period, temperature, and pH sufficient to convert at least a majority of the glucone isoflavones contained in the concentrate to aglucone isoflavones. |
