Claims
Soybean products with reduced sugar content and a process for producing soybean products with reduced sugar content are described. The process also increases the protein percentage in the reduced-sugar soybean product without the addition of exogenous protein. The process includes the extraction of a starting material from soybeans with an aqueous composition.
1. A process for producing a soybean product with reduced sugar content comprising: extracting all or a portion of a soybean starting material with an aqueous solvent, preferably by hydration with water, preferably the soybean starting material being separated into a main chain portion and a side chain portion; and extracting water from the soybean material subjected to extraction, wherein the water extraction generates a soybean product with reduced sugar content and an aqueous composition.
20. A soybean meal product having a reduced sugar content, wherein the soybean meal product is produced by the process as defined in any one of claims 1 to 17.
23. The process according to claim 22, wherein the secondary chain portion is subjected to extraction and the extracted secondary chain portion is combined with the main chain portion to generate a soybean product with reduced sugar content and a higher percentage of protein than the soybean starting material.
