Abstract: A powder-form foaming creamer suitable for use in beverages is prepared by spray-drying a mixture containing a non-dairy fat, a non-dairy carbohydrate and a proteinaceous foam stabilizer. In the spray-drying step, the mixture is atomized by forcing it through a narrow orifice under a high pressure. The dried powder withstands severe handling and retains the ability to produce a foam in the final beverage.

Abstract: High NSI dry vegetable protein isolates may be effectively utilized to replace egg albumin and/or milk caseinates in food recipes. The isolates are characterized as having an NSI of at least 90, substantially free from vegetable protein hydrolyzates, capable of forming insoluble heat-set gels and having aqueous Brookfield viscosities substantially lower than those which are obtained from conventional undigested vegetable protein hydrolyzates. The relatively neutral pH extraction conditions in the presence of sulfurous ions, coupled with its recovery without chemically or enzymatically hydrolyzing the protein constituents affords an effective method for manufacturing these unique isolate products. The isolates may be used to directly replace either casein or egg albumin in a wide variety of food recipes.

When the partially enzymolyzed soybean protein is used in amounts of 1-6% by weight based on the cream, the whipping cream exhibits good emulsification state and has moderate overrun and a shape-maintaining property when extruded with CO.sub.2 gas.

Abstract: A food product containing microfibrillated cellulose is prepared by mixing together an edible liquid which swells cellulose, a food additive and fibrous cellulose to form a liquid suspension. The suspension is repeatedly passed through a small diameter orifice in which the mixture is subjected to a pressure drop of at least 3000 psig and a high velocity shearing action followed by a high velocity decelerating impact. The process converts the cellulose into microfibrillated cellulose and forms a stable homogeneous suspension of the microfibrillated cellulose, liquid and food additive.
