A method of processing a proteinaceous material, the method entails (1) blending the proteinaceous material with alcohol and a reducing agent and (2) maintaining a combination having the proteinaceous material and the reducing agent at a greater than ambient temperature for a holding period of at least about five minutes to form a proteinaceous product.

Method of processing soy protein

A method of treating a proteinaceous material having a first concentration of &#x3b2;-conglycinin, the method including combining the proteinaceous material with an enzyme to form a reaction mixture, the reaction mixture initially having a pH of at least about 7.0 standard pH units, allowing the enzyme to hydrolyze &#x3b2;-conglycinin present in the reaction mixture to form a proteinaceous intermediate, and inactivating the enzyme present in the reaction mixture after a reaction period to form a proteinaceous product, the proteinaceous product having a second concentration of &#x3b2;-conglycinin, the second concentration of &#x3b2;-conglycinin being at least 99 percent less than the first concentration of &#x3b2;-conglycinin.

Protein material

Young animals, ruminant or otherwise, which employ monogastric digestion, e.g. calves, are fed a milk substitute prepared with soybean protein which has been heated in presence of a lower alcohol and water, with unexpectedly rapid increase in animal weight.

Method of feeding young animals

A bland, nutritive, water-retentive soybean flour, concentrate, or other food product is produced by a process involving heating soybean material under superatmospheric pressure and in contact with alcohol and water and/or their vapors while permitting continuous escape of vapors.
