Abstract
Methods for controlling the viscosity of protein hydrolysates by adjusting their magnesium and calcium content are disclosed. The viscosity may be reduced by adding a pyrophosphate or other precipitating agent to the hydrolysate and then removing the magnesium and/or calcium precipitate that is formed thereby. Alternatively, the viscosity may be increased by adding a magnesium and/or calcium containing source.
