The invention includes a composition when used for the subsequent prprat ion of an egg white foam, characterised in that the composition includes an amount of egg white material and at least one thickener. The amount of thickener(s) is at least about 2.0% w/w in the composition and the composition has been heat treated at or above about 40° C. prior to preparing the egg white foam. The invention also encompasses method of use, novel food produds, cooked or uncooked, and methods of manufacture.

A cold-gelated mono-nuclear microencapsulate comprises a unitary liquid core encapsulated within a gastro-resistant, ileal-sensitive, polymerized denatured protein membrane shell, wherein the liquid core comprises a GLP-1 release stimulating agent in a substantially solubilised form. The GLP-1 release stimulating agent is a native protein selected from native dairy protein, native vegetable protein or native egg protein.

Baby food products containing allergenic protein and methods of delivering the products are provided as a source of early introduction for prevention of food allergy in children. The product may be a solid or semi-solid product and includes an allergenic protein, one or more of a prebiotic or a probiotic, and a foodstuff. A method of feeding a baby food product to a child involves providing the child with a serving of the baby food product such that the child ingests a pre-defined amount of an allergenic protein. The serving may be provided on a periodic basis such that the child ingests a constant amount of the allergenic protein per week over an extended period.
