A process and composition thereof for making a proteinaceous product which comprises preparing an aqueous slurry of soy protein; treating the slurry by adjusting the pH to about 3.5 to about 6 and adding a viscosity reducing agent selected from the group consisting of a proteolytic enzyme and carbohydrase enzyme and an antioxidant, or mixtures thereof to form a pretreated slurry; heating the pretreated slurry, to a temperature not greater than 155° C. such that the pretreated slurry does not contain a substantial amount of proteinaceous antinutritional factors and antigenicity factors; treating the pretreated slurry with a hydrolyzing agent from a source of alpha-galactosidase; and drying the proteinaceous material to form a soy product.
