  • Publication number: 20230127140
    Abstract: The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to pulse protein-based emulsifiers comprising unhydrolyzed soluble pulse, or pea, or chickpea protein and a dissolved, unmodified amylopectin. Also disclosed in this specification are long term shelf stable egg-free emulsions and methods of their manufacture using the described pulse protein-based emulsifiers. Stability of the emulsion can be measured by reference to their small mean oil droplet size and reduced variability in mean oil droplet size over time.

  • Publication number: 20230061008
    Abstract: The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to imitations cheese comprising a grade 2 gum Arabic in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 1.0% and having a molecular weight of greater than about 800 kDa. In some embodiments the imitation cheese are low protein imitation cheeses having protein content of less than about 20%. It has been observed that the disclosed cheeses have an improved melt-stretch compared to imitation cheeses made with other hydrocolloids. It has further been observed low protein imitation cheeses comprising a grade 2 gum Arabic have a melt-stretch more like that of a full protein imitation cheese compared to the melt-stretch of imitation cheeses made with other hydrocolloids.
