Abstract: A process for the production of a dried basal material used for the preparation of a soy based cheese food particularly tofu is set forth wherein a slurry of a soy protein material is formed followed by heating such slurry to a temperature of at least about 220.degree. F. and the retention of such slurry in heated condition under positive pressure for at least a few seconds up to about a few minutes. Following heating of the slurry, the slurry is cooled and mixed with an edible oil which is added to said portein material in an amount sufficient to improve the whiteness of products which are produced with the basal material. The oil is preferably added to said soy material in a proteinaceous solids to oil ratio of between about 5 to 0.2:1. The mixture of oil and soy protein material is dewatered preferably by spray drying and then blended with other ingredients of a basal mix thereby forming a basal material for the production of soy cheese or tofu which has unusual characteristics.

Abstract: In a process for preparing an aerated frozen food product such as mellorine or a shake beverage wherein water, fat, protein, emulsifier and stabilizer are blended together to form a mix which is homogenized to form an oil-in-water emulsion and is subsequently whipped under freezing conditions, improved stability is achieved in the product by selecting a specific oil having high solid fat content at room temperature, homogenizing the mix of ingredients under conditions sufficient to form an emulsion having a relatively narrow distribution of small diameter fat globules, and aging the emulsion to crystallize the fat globules prior to whipping. Stable aerated frozen products provided in accordance with this invention can be stored and distributed at 0.degree. F. without loss of quality and have a variety of commercial uses.

Abstract: Microbiologically stable foods which are oil-in-water emulsions usually kept at freezer temperature, but which can be maintained at room temperature and refrigerator temperature for an extended period of time, are prepared by controlling their sugar/fat content.These foods are of intermediate-moisture content and have sufficient solutes, generally sugars, to provide a bacteriostatic effect. The sugars used are predominantly of low molecular weight to additionally provide for a significant freezing point depression. A substantial amount of fructose, dextrose or a combination thereof is preferred for its resistance to crystallization which would cause apparent hardness at low temperatures. Finally, the product can more readily be maintained soft at freezer and room temperature if its fat content is at least in part unsaturated.

Abstract: Microfine salt having particles of from about 1 to about 10 microns in size can be incorporated in a fat or oil to provide a flavor-enhancing fat or oil composition. This composition is particularly useful in delivering salt to foods because the salt remains suspended for a commercially acceptable time when the fat or oil is heated. Other non-encapsulated flavor-enhancing materials within a density range of from about 1.8 to about 2.4 g./cc. can be used in place of or in conjunction with the salt. Fluid fats which have particulate suspensions of triglyceride hardstock are also useful for providing shelf- or storage-stable suspensions of microfine salt.

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 isolates may be used to directly replace either casein or egg albumin in a wide variety of food recipes.
