A process for producing proteinic filaments of high nutritive value, which comprises preparing an alkaline solution containing a mixture of proteins consisting essentially of (1) proteins of vegetable origin and (2) proteins of whey and containing up to 50% by weight of proteins of whey, and passing the solution through spinnerets into an acid coagulation bath to form proteinic filaments therein.

Process for producing proteinic filaments of high nutritive value

A process is provided for the production of a vegetable-based sweetened condensed milk in which a vegetable protein in the form of an aqueous solution or suspension is subjected to partial enzymatic hydrolysis and a mixture containing approximately 4 to 9 parts by weight of fats, 8 to 18 parts by weight of the treated protein, 0 to 14 parts by weight of lactose, 40 to 55 parts by weight of sucrose and 25 to 32 parts by weight of water is prepared. The proteins in suspension are subjected to a partial precipitation and the precipitated fraction is eliminated after the enzymatic hydrolysis step. A basic salt may be added to the mixture which may or may not have been subjected to the partial precipitation step. Partial precipitation is preferably brought about by addition of a calcium salt in a concentration of up to 0.001 to 0.1 M or by adjustment of the pH of the hydrolysed suspension to a value of from 4.5 to 7.
