The present invention relates generally to the field of foams. One aspect of the invention provides a foam having a continuous lipid phase and a porosity of between and 80% wherein, at a temperature at which the lipid phase has a solid lipid content between 0.1 and 80% the foam comprises gas bubbles having at least 50% of their surface occupied by crystals comprising triglycerides. Further aspects of the invention are a product comprising a foam and a process for forming a foam.

A method for producing cannabinoid cooking oil and budder uses a mixture of cannabinoid material and natural oils to produce a consumable spread. The method used a quantity of cannabinoid substance, and a quantity of foaming substance. The foaming substance is a natural oil that can absorb and blend with the cannabinoid substance. The method begins by continuously agitating the cannabinoid substance with the foaming substance until a paste mixture is formed. The method continues by cooling the paste mixture until a solidified mixture is formed. The method concludes by thawing the solidified mixture to yield a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) infused spreadable paste. Thus, an edible mixture is produced. Some versions of the method feature a flavoring substance that is added to the cannabinoid and foaming substance mixture. Thus, improving flavor.

Systems and methods describe improvements in the automated production of meat analogues. Ingredients are provided, including oil, water, binding agent(s), and one or more forms of protein to be separately and continuously conveyed through a facility. Concurrently to the ingredients being conveyed through the facility, a number of actions occur. The system emulsifies the oil, water, and binding agent(s) within an emulsifying machine to form a final emulsion. A hydration process is separately applied to at least one of the forms of protein. The system mixes and conveys the protein(s) with the final emulsion in a final mixer to form a final dough.

A roll-in margarine composition with reduced saturated fatty acids content containing 60% to 80% by weight of a fatty phase and 40% to 20% by weight of an aqueous phase containing water, proteins and soluble and/or insoluble dietary fibers is disclosed. The fatty phase consists of 30% to 45% of a vegetable fat rich in stearic acid and 70% to 55% of a vegetable oil. The soluble fibers can be beta-glucans, concentrated algae, pea fiber, potato fiber, psyllium fiber, guar fiber, and the insoluble fibers can be celluloses, wheat fiber, pea integument fiber, carrot fiber and bamboo fiber. A process for preparing the margarine composition is also disclosed.
