CA 2103965

The present invention relates to a modified fiber material, preferably a legume or cereal grain fiber and most preferably a soy fiber material, which is characterized by an increased level of soluble dietary fiber and improved physical characteristics. The modified fiber is produced by a process which comprises forming a slurry of a fiber material, typically a soy fiber such as the spent flake residue derived from soy isolate processing, which typically has a relatively low percentage of soluble dietary fiber. The pH of the slurry is adjusted below about 4.5 by the addition of an edible acid. The pH adjusted slurry is then heated at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to increase the soluble dietary fiber content, usually to a level of about 30% or greater of the total dietary fiber content in the case of soy fiber. Following modification, the modified fiber is dewatered to provide a food ingredient that has improved textural properties as an additive to beverages, soups, creams, emulsified meats or other types of food products.
