2 Claims

1. A process for producing dry β-conglycinin protein which comprises heating a solution or paste having a concentration of 5 to 20% of β-conglycinin protein whose β-conglycinin content is 40% by weight or more in the protein at higher than 75° C. but lower than 160° C. under acidic conditions of pH 3.5 to 6.0 at an ionic strength of less than 0.2 and then, after neutralizing and sterilizing, spray-drying the solution or paste.
