  • MODIFIED PROTEIN-BASED, LOW-CARBOHYDRATE FOOD INGREDIENT AND PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME
    Publication number: 20100098827
    Abstract: A process for producing a protein-carbohydrate complex includes the steps of: providing a modified protein (MP), the MP characterized by being denatured and heated sufficiently to gel; mixing the MP with a carbohydrate to form an MP-carbohydrate mixture; and heating the MP-carbohydrate mixture to a temperature and for a time sufficient to faun MP-carbohydrate complexes. The resulting protein-carbohydrate complex may have properties that include a viscosity of at least 1.0 Pa-s at a shear rate of a 50 s?1 at 25° C. and a creaming index of less than 25 percent.
    Type: Application
