Soymilk Process., Lawrence A. Johnson, Charles W. Deyoe, William J. Hoover Feb 1986

Soymilk Process., Lawrence A. Johnson, Charles W. Deyoe, William J. Hoover

Lawrence A. Johnson

Process for making a soybeanbased milk analog or soymilk and food products prepared therefrom. The process involves the comminuting of whole soybeans having the hulls thereon; forming a slurry of the comminuted soybeans; simultaneously initiating the inactivation of trypsin inhibitor and lipoxygenase without fixing protein bodies or substantially denaturing the soybean protein; confining the heated slurry until the trypsin inhibitor activity is reduced to a desired value; cooling the slurry; and separating the hulls from the slurry to recover the desired product. The resulting soymilk is an aqueous preparation of the soybean which exhibits minimal destruction of essential amino acids, …

Process For The Preparation Of Protein Isolates Of Improved Quality From Vegetable Protein Sources, Lawrence A. Johnson, Hwei-Mei Wen Aug 1984

Process For The Preparation Of Protein Isolates Of Improved Quality From Vegetable Protein Sources, Lawrence A. Johnson, Hwei-Mei Wen

Lawrence A. Johnson

Protein isolates are recovered from vegetable protein sources, such as sunflower meal, by extracting the meal with an alkali solution in the presence of an alkali metal borohydride, and then acid precipitating the resulting aqueous protein extract phase to produce a protein isolate. Typically, the alkali metal borohydride is employed in an amount of at least about 20 ppm, based on the combined weight of vegetable meal and alkali solution. Protein isolates produced by this process exhibit improved color, palatability and/or nutritional value, and comprise highly desirable additives for food products, animal foods, etc.

Process For The Preparation Of Protein Isolates Of Improved Quality From Vegetable Protein Sources Using Alkali Metal Borohydrides, Lawrence A. Johnson, Hwei-Mei Wen

Lawrence A. Johnson

Protein isolates are recovered from vegetable protein sources, such as for example sunflower meal, by extracting the meal with an alkali solution in the presence of an alkali metal borohydride, and then acid precipitating the resulting aqueous protein extract phase to produce a protein isolate. Typically, the alkali metal borohydride is employed in an amount of at least about 20 ppm, based on the combined weight of vegetable meal and alkali solution.

Modeling The Kinetics Of Heat Inactivation Of Trypsin Inhibitors During Steam-Infusion Cooking Of Soymilk, Lawrence A. Johnson, W. J. Hoover, C. W. Deyoe, L. E. Erickson, W. H. Johnson, J. R. Schwenke Mar 1980

Modeling The Kinetics Of Heat Inactivation Of Trypsin Inhibitors During Steam-Infusion Cooking Of Soymilk, Lawrence A. Johnson, W. J. Hoover, C. W. Deyoe, L. E. Erickson, W. H. Johnson, J. R. Schwenke

Lawrence A. Johnson

Theeffect of heat on trypsin inhibitor (TI) activity during steam-infusion cooking of soymilk was studied. At 154°C only 40 s process time reduced TI to the same level as conventional cooking at 99°C for 60 min. Between 99 and 154°C the kinetics of TI inactivation followed behavior exemplified by the summation of two first-order reactions. Spline fitting functions effectively modeled the data with r2 ranging from 0.984 to 0.999. The heat-labile reaction was attributed to Kunitz inhibitor and the heat-stable reaction, to Bowman-Birk inhibitor. The former accounted for approximately 85 percent of the iriginal TI activity. Arrhenius equation kinetic constants …


Removal Of Raw Peanut Flavor And Odor In Peanut Flour Processed By Direct Solvent Extraction1, Lawrence A. Johnson, J. T. Farnsworth, R. J. Garland, E. W. Lusas Jan 1979

Removal Of Raw Peanut Flavor And Odor In Peanut Flour Processed By Direct Solvent Extraction1, Lawrence A. Johnson, J. T. Farnsworth, R. J. Garland, E. W. Lusas

Lawrence A. Johnson

Peanut slices can be directly extracted with hexane yielding more soluble protein and better color than pre-press solvent extraction; however, flavor and odor are characterized as raw and “green beany”. The utilization of secondary extraction with hexane: ethanol azeotrope, hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol subsequent to hexane extraction significantly improved flavor and odor characteristics of peanut flour. Hexane: propanol azeotrope did not significantly improve sensory evaluations. Hexane: ethanol azeotrope did not reduce soluble protein, yielding an NSI value of 95%. Hexane: methanol azeotrope and absolute ethanol slightly reduced NSI to 88% and 92% respectively. Color of peanut flour was …


Clouding Control Agent For Beverages, Lawrence A. Johnson Oct 1976

Clouding Control Agent For Beverages, Lawrence A. Johnson

Lawrence A. Johnson

A cloud control agent for use in aqueous beverages such as soft drinks comprising ethoxylated monoglyceride in combination with essential oils wherein the ratio of ethoxylated monoglyceride to essential oil is between about 0.01 to 2. The cloud for beverages and similar food products can be effectively controlled by varying the ratio from about 0.01 to 0.75 to obtain an opaque solution whereas a ratio of 0.75 to 0 provides a clear solution.

Spray Drying Process For Encapsulation Of Condiment Particles, Lawrence A. Johnson, Edgar J. Beyn Apr 1976

Spray Drying Process For Encapsulation Of Condiment Particles, Lawrence A. Johnson, Edgar J. Beyn

Lawrence A. Johnson

An improvement in process for producing encapsulated condiment particles by spray drying wherein said spray-dried particles are cooled while they are maintained in gas-suspended condition in order to prevent them from agglomerating upon collection. The process involves contacting a first spray of particles with cold air to assist in atomizing it; then spraying a second particle stream which contacts the first. The particle stream which is formed, is then discharged through a heating zone, after which it is cooled while being maintained in a gas suspended condition. Finally, the resulting coated particles are separated from the gas.
