Precipitation fractionation of an aqueous extract of soybeans by addition of an organic solvent such as ethanol or molecular weight fractionation of the extract by ultrafiltration or size exclusion chromatography is appropriately combined with activated carbon filtration, cation- or anion-exchange resin treatment or other adsorbent (e.g., polyamide or octadecylsilica) treatment to provide a nicotianamine product of desired purity. The product is added to food and drink to provide health foods.

Method for preparing nicotianamine or nicotianamine-containing product

A powdered composition for food and drink comprising powdered soy protein isolate, anthocyanin and an organic acid composition is provided which is dissolved or suspended in water, milk, to provide a beverage which has a vivid reddish purple color characteristic of anthocyanin and which the anthocyanin is stabilized to maintain its various functions.

Powered composition for food and drink

A high-protein food of plate form having a protein content of 40% by weight or more and a bulk density of 0.02 to 0.40 g/cm,, which is obtained by puffing-molding a compound protein raw material having a protein content of 40% by weight or more.

High-protein food of plate form

A proanthocyanidin, such as an extract of grape seeds or skin, is added to a protein food, so that the flavor of the protein food is improved.
