A method for the production of purified proteins with controlled isoflavones content is disclosed. The method includes providing a plant material containing at least one protein, at least one sugar and at least one isoflavone. The method also includes solubilizing the at least one sugar; and (c) separating the at least one solubilized sugar while at pH of between about pI + 0.2 and about pI + 7.5 , where pI is the isoelectric point of the protein, to form an isoflavone-containing purified protein stream and a sugar-containing stream. An isoflavones-containing purified product is also disclosed.
