The invention provides nanoemulsion for preparing plant-based meat, the nanoemulsion has a particle size ranging from 300 nm to 320 nm. The plant-based meat prepared by using the nanoemulsion of the present invention can retain flavors after various cooking methods. The plant-based meat of the present invention can withstand different pH values and temperatures, and remains stable at different concentrations of salt, sugar, lipids, protein, carbohydrates and a variety of organic compounds, and will not lower consumer’s flavor expectations and perceptions. The plant-based meat of the present invention retains more flavors, so less flavoring is needed, and the cost will be reduced.

Disclosed is an edible, discontinuous gummy delivery system comprising collagen peptide particles with an average particle size from 5 to 500 μm and an average molecular weight from 1,000 to 10,000 Da dispersed in an elastic matrix, wherein the collagen peptide particles are undissolved or no more than partially dissolved in the elastic matrix, and wherein the collagen peptide particles are present in an amount from 8 to 45% of a total mass of the delivery system. Methods of preparing the gummy delivery systems are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to food grade hydrogels containing probiotics and methods of their preparation. More particularly, this disclosure describes 3D printable edible hydrogels, freeze-dried 3D printed edible hydrogels, systems for their printing, as well as, methods of preparing food grade 3D printed, freeze dried hydrogel compositions. Beneficially, the 3D printed, freeze-dried hydrogel compositions are storage stable.

Disclosed herein are compositions and articles made therefrom, the compositions and articles comprising at least one hydrocolloid, at least one plasticizer, at least one filler and/or humectant and water. Typically, the components are derived from biological sources, such as seaweed, plants, or animals. Typically, the components are made from food quality ingredients, making the compositions and articles edible and/or biodegradable. The compositions are used to form articles, such as straws, and the articles have desirable flexibility and moisture barrier properties, such as swelling resistance, as well as biodegradability and/or compostability properties.

A method for making highly soluble Stevia sweetener compositions is described. The resulting sweetener compositions readily provide high concentration solutions, and also possess superior taste qualities. The compositions can be used as sweeteners, sweetness enhancers, and flavor enhancers in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
