Disclosed herein are methods and compositions including casein, and methods for making these compositions.

The invention relates to alcohol-containing food products, in particular to ice-cream-type products and other soft or semi-soft solid food products containing high levels of alcohol, and improved processes for their preparation. More specifically, embodiments of the invention provide improved processes for providing alcoholic food products that retain a creamy texture and favorable homogeneity, stability and viscosity over a wide range of temperatures commonly used during storage and serving. The invention further provides alcohol-containing food products characterized by particularly advantageous physical properties, nutritional values and palatability.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for stabilizing and enhancing the viscosity of semisolid compositions, and to the production of stabilized alcohol-containing semisolid food products. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to novel stabilizers for semisolid compositions, to alcohol-containing semisolid food compositions comprising them, and to processes for the preparation and use thereof. Further, the invention in embodiments thereof provides non-liquid food products containing a high alcohol content, which are stable at room temperature and do not necessitate the use of gelling agents or other chemical stabilizers.

Provided is an edible material having an exceptional sweetness-enhancing effect. This oxidized product of a palm-based oil and fat has a total content of α-carotene and β-carotene of 50 mass ppm or more and 2000 mass ppm or less, and a peroxide value of the oxidized product of 3 or more and 250 or less.

Provided is an edible material having an exceptional sweetness-enhancing effect. This method for producing an oil and fat composition is characterized in comprising a step for adding a carotenoid to an edible oil and fat, and a step for decomposing the carotenoid in the edible oil and fat. The carotenoid is preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of β-carotene, α-carotene, retinol, lutein, canthaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, bixin, norbixin, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, fucoxanthin, violaxanthin, lycopene, crocin, crocetin, and capsanthin.

Provided are food products that are derived from non-animal sources that have one or more of the following: color, taste, nutritional content, and other qualities similar to those of dairy products and/or other types of food products. Also provided are processes for production of such dairy-like food products and/or other types of food product analogs.

Provided herein are dairy-like analogue compositions and the methods of making the same using one or more recombinant proteins.

Provided herein are dairy-like analogue compositions and the methods of making the same using one or more recombinant proteins.

The present invention is providing a whipping cream composition comprising combination of fats, protein, sweetener, stabilizer, emulsifier and water. The whipping cream composition is a low-fat, non-dairy whipping cream composition that is stable at high temperature. The whipping cream composition having increased heat stability such as rosette stability, bench stability, high overrun, and no cracking on finished cakes at high temperature.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions including casein, and methods for making these compositions.
