Abstract
Phytate-containing proteinaceous materials are treated with trivalent aluminum to alter the physical, chemical, metabolic, functional and nutritional values of the protein. Protein derived from phytate-containing seed materials treated with trivalent aluminum possess improved solvent solubility, protease digestability, reduced thermophiles and trypsin inhibition reduction, low viscosity, trace mineral bioavailability, etc. without requiring phytate or phytic acid removal. The aluminum treatment may be conducted at numerous protein manufacturing stages with a wide variety of different materials. Phytate-containing proteins may be effectively extracted at acid pH levels in the presence of trivalent aluminum without sacrificing recoverable protein yields.
