A method for manufacturing a soy protein concentrate having a low
non-digestible oligosaccharide and high isoflavone content. The soy
protein may have high saponin content. The method includes the use of a
membrane in an ultrafiltration process to separate non-digestible
oligosaccharides from protein, while retaining isoflavones and saponins
with protein. The soy protein concentrate with a low non-digestible
oligosaccharide and high isoflavone and saponin content is useful as a
milk substitute and in drink mixes as well as an ingredient in other
nutrition and health products.
