A novel canola protein product consisting predominantly of 2S canola protein and having improved solubility properties, has an increased proportion of 2 S canola protein and a decreased proportion of 7S canola protein, and a protein content of less than about 90 wt % (N×6.25) d.b. The novel canola protein isolate is formed by heat treatment or isoelectric precipitation of aqueous supernatant from canola protein micelle formation and precipitation, to effect precipitation of 7S protein which is sedimented and removed.
