Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of food and food ingredients, more in particular to plant-based fibrous structures for use in vegan products such as meat analogs. Provided is a method for the manufacture of an edible protein-based fibrous structure, comprising contacting an aqueous solution of a non-denatured potato protein with a carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) having a Mw of at least 150,000 Dalton (Da) to yield a fiber forming solution, which fiber forming solution has a total dry matter (TDM) content in the range of 0.5 to 15%, and wherein said contacting is performed in the pH range of 2 to 5 and while mixing thereby inducing the formation of a potato protein-based edible fibrous structure.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of an oil-in-water emulsion where the interior of oil droplets exhibit interfaces, between lipophilic domains and hydrophilic or amphiphilic domains, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive solubilized inside the oil droplets and which is used for delayed release of active elements such that the release of at least one active element, which has a octanol/water partitioning coefficient logP higher than ?1, corresponds to a higher Tmax than the Tmax obtained for the simple reference oil-in-water emulsion where no lipophilic additive is used.
