This invention describes a way to make a protein powder from adzuki beans. The process involves extracting proteins from the beans in water and then purifying them, perhaps by adjusting the acidity or using filters. The specific claims focus on using this adzuki bean protein as an egg substitute in food or beverages, where the protein powder is mostly protein and a significant portion of that is a specific type called 11S globulin.
Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in food science and protein engineering have likely refined methods for isolating specific plant protein fractions like 11S globulin. This could make it easier to achieve the precise functional properties needed for an effective adzuki bean-based egg substitute.
