Enzymatic degradation of carbohydrates in protein isolation methods

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of isolating proteins from a proteinaceous vegetable material. More specifically the invention provides a method for isolating proteins from a proteinaceous vegetable material, which method involves the steps of subjecting the proteinaceous vegetable material to the action of one or more carbohydrate degrading enzyme(s), thereby obtaining a mixture comprising proteins and hydrolyzed carbohydrates; and subjecting the mixture of step (i) to a separation process in order to separate the proteins from the hydrolyzed carbohydrates.
