A dairy analogue composition comprises up to 90% by weight of water; and from 1% by weight to 80% by weight of a fat composition; wherein the fat composition comprises an interesterified blend of non-tropical vegetable oil and fully hydrogenated non-tropical vegetable oil.

A method of producing plant milk enable batch production and may be implemented in a system of low complexity. The method comprises introducing water, plant material and one or more enzymes into a mixing chamber of a mixing unit; operating the mixing unit to generate a slurry that comprises the water, the plant material and the one or more enzymes; transferring the slurry from the mixing unit to a separation unit, which separates the slurry into a liquid component and a sludge component; transferring the liquid component into the mixing chamber of the mixing unit; adding vegetable oil to the liquid component; and operating the mixing unit to produce, in the mixing chamber, plant milk that comprises the vegetable oil and the liquid component.

Methods of making food-grade plant protein compositions, including yellow pea protein compositions, are provided. The methods use pulses, such as yellow peas, and flours derived therefrom

Disclosed are methods for separating non-soy plant materials to produce a fat-enriched fraction, a reduced-fat plant extract, reduced-fat plant protein compositions, a crude oil, plant gums, a degummed oil and a protein-fat sediment. Also disclosed are food products containing or prepared from the reduced-fat extracts, fat-enriched fraction, gums, oils, protein-fat sediments and reduced-fat protein compositions.
