  • Structured protein compositions
    Patent number: 11477998
    Abstract: An extrusion process is disclosed for turning vegetable protein compositions such as soy protein into a fibrous, meat-like structure. The process involves the application of relatively high moisture contents. An open structure is produced that can be infused with water so as to influence the product's tenderness. The products of the invention can be provided with a fibrosity and tenderness at will. The invention offers the possibility to include relatively high amounts of fat in the product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: OJAH B.V.
    Inventors: Franciscus Egenius Giezen, Wouter Wilhelmus Johannes Theodorus Jansen, Jeroen Harold Anton Willemsen

  • Biopolymer nanoparticles
    Patent number: 6677386
    Abstract: A process for producing biopolymer nanoparticles is described, in which the biopolymer is plasticised using shear forces, a crosslinking agent being added during the processing. After said processing. After said processing, the biopolymer can be dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous medium to a concentration between 4 and 40 wt. %. This results in starch nanoparticles which are characterized by an average particle size of less than 400 nm.
