A Bowman Birk Inhibitor (BBI) concentrate including at least 50% soy
protein by weight of dry matter; and a chymotrypsin inhibitor activity
level of at least 200 milligrams of chymotrypsin inhibited per gram of
dry matter of product. A method of making a BBI concentrate including the
steps of providing acid extracted solubles from a defatted soybean
material; mixing acetone with the acid extracted solubles to form a
precipitate mixture; separating the precipitate from the mixture of
acetone and acid extracted solubles; diluting the separated precipitate
with water to form an aqueous solution; ultrafiltering the aqueous
solution to obtain a retentate. The defatted soybean material may be
defatted soybean flakes or flour. The step of providing acid extracted
solubles includes slurrying the defatted soybean flakes with water to
form slurry, adjusting the pH of the slurry to 4.0 to 6.5 using
hydrochloric acid and separating the solubles from the slurry.
