The present invention relates to beverage products, in particular a liquid natural plant-based creamer composition comprising: an edible nut; high-acyl gellan gum present in an amount ranging from 0.08 to 0.15 wt/wt %; pea protein present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt/wt %; and buffer.

A composition for human consumption includes a base composition having a pH of about 2 to about 5 and encapsulated caffeine dispersed throughout at least a portion of the base composition. The encapsulated caffeine can be a caffeine complex. The base composition can include a liquid or a food. An oral pouch product includes a porous pouch wrapper, an inner botanical filling material contained within the pouch wrapper, and encapsulated caffeine dispersed throughout at least a portion of the oral pouch product. The encapsulated caffeine is included in the composition and/or the oral pouch product an amount sufficient to release about 50 mg to about 200 mg of caffeine. The composition can provide immediate release of caffeine and/or release of caffeine over an extended period of time.

A process produces a water, juice, and/or milk-based ready-to-drink jellified product including at least two separate homogeneous gel masses, and adjacent separate gel masses have different gel strengths. The process includes the steps of, in order: separately preparing at least two liquefied gel compositions, each containing an aqueous and/or juicy and/or dairy base mixed with carrageenan and galactomannan; separately preheating each of the compositions; separately mixing each of the liquefied gel compositions; separately cooling down each of the liquefied gel compositions, while keeping a constant agitation of the mass of each of the liquefied gel compositions; and sequentially dosing each of the liquefied gel compositions into a container.

Disclosed are compositions useful for improving or enhancing the organoleptic properties, especially mouthfeel, of nutritional compositions. The composition contains a combination of partially hydrogenated guar gum (PHGG) and acacia gum (AG). These may also be used to promote a healthy gut flora and treat or prevent digestive diseases when included in a nutritional composition.
