The present invention relates to preparation of a plant-based fermented dairy alternative where the plant-based substrate is treated with an endopeptidase, preferably a specific endopeptidase selected from trypsin-like endopeptidase, lysine-specific endopeptidase or glutamyl-specific endo-peptidase. Further preferred is the combination with a phospholipase.

Disclosed is a method of producing an egg replacement food product that includes mixing a protein microbial biomass powder with water to obtain a wet mixture, hydrating the wet mixture at room temperature, mixing the wet mixture at high speed, hydrating the mixed wet mixture at 6 C degrees, mixing the hydrated wet mixture with an oil at high speed and emulsifying the mixed wet mixture, homogenizing the emulsified mixed wet mixture, heating the homogenized wet mixture up to from 85 C up to 90 C degrees, and adding sodium chloride (NaCl) and citric acid to the heated wet mixture and mixing to obtain pH from 3.5 up to 4.0.

The present invention is directed to a liquid heat sterilized enteral composition comprising: a protein source in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight of the composition, the protein source comprising whey protein preferably containing whey protein micelles, and a source of casein, and optionally other proteins. The inventive heat sterilized enteral composition preferably has a cysteine content of at least 1.2% by weight of the protein source. The present invention is furthermore directed to a process for preparing such a heat sterilized enteral composition comprising protein in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the composition, said protein comprising whey protein containing whey protein micelles and casein and optionally other proteins. The process comprises the steps of: (i) Providing an aqueous solution of a protein source comprising whey protein containing whey protein micelles and (ii) Adding a protein source containing casein; (iii) Optionally performing a homogenization treatment step; (iv) Performing a heat treatment step; (v) Optionally performing a homogenization treatment step. Finally, the invention concerns the use of a protein source comprising whey protein containing whey protein micelles, a source of casein and optionally other proteins, for preparing an enteral composition and/or for controlling the viscosity of a liquid enteral composition, wherein the enteral composition comprises 12 to 20 weight % total protein. The invention also concerns medical uses and treatments applying or using the inventive heat sterilized enteral composition.
