Oil seed protein isolates, particularly canola protein isolate, are
produced continuously from oil seed meals, preferably at a high purity
level of at least about 100 wt % (Nx 6.25), by a process wherein oil seed
protein is continuously extracted from oil seed meal, the resulting
protein solution is continuously concentrated, preferably to a protein
content of at least about 200 g/L, and the concentrated protein solution
is continuously mixed with chilled water having a temperature below about
15.degree. C. to form protein micellar, which are settled in the settling
vessel to provide a protein micellar mass (PMM) while supernatant
overflows the vessel. The PMM, when accumulated to a desired degree, may
be separated from supernatant and dried. The supernatant may be processed
to recover additional oil seed protein isolate.
