Abstract
A process for increasing the viscosity of vegetable protein-containing solutions which comprises subjecting a substantially dry protein composition containing at least 60% protein which protein is substantially insoluble at its isoelectric point and substantially soluble above and below its isoelectric point to a heat treatment for a period of time sufficient to modify the protein such that the viscosity of a 10% solution of said treated protein composition is increased over a solution of untreated protein composition by at least 100%.
