Flavorants are emulsified in tobacco-derived lipids and encapsulated with biopolymers and polysaccharides. The emulsions include oil-in-water emulsions, oil-in-water-in-oil emulsions, water-in oil emulsions, or water-in-oil-in-water emulsions, and optionally include ethanol and/or propylene glycol in an oil phase.

The present disclosure provides products and methods that provide for the stability of functional amino acids in food matrices. In a general embodiment, the products include either a source of beta-glucans or a source of protein low in reducing sugars, in combination with a functional amino acid in a binder having low amounts of, or being substantially free of, reducing sugars. Methods for improving the stability of functional amino acids in food matrices are also provided. The products and methods of the present disclosure provide several advantages including, for example, the reduction or avoidance of degradation and browning of the products during processing and storage.

Disclosed are specialized flour for nutrition meals for diabetes and a preparation method and use thereof. The flour is based on cereal meal as a basic material and is added to a defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and a soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power, wherein in the dry flour base, the content of protein is 20-26 weight %, the content of the dietary fiber is 4-10 weight %, the content of carbohydrate is no more than 65 weight %, and the content of fat is no more than 4% of the weight. The method comprises physically mixing the cereal meal, the defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and the soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power under atmospheric pressure. Food and semi-finished products made from the flour are used for preventing and/or treating diabetes.

A protein product, such as a beverage or the like, includes a mixture of water, a paste comprising protein, pH buffers, and a stabilizer. In particular, the protein product includes from about 40.00 wt. % to about 98.00 wt. % water, from about 0.50 wt. % to about 35.00 wt. % protein paste, from about 0.10 wt. % to about 0.50 wt. % sodium bicarbonate, from about 0.30 wt. % to about 0.80 wt. % calcium carbonate, and from about 0.10 wt. % to about 0.80 wt. % stabilizer. The pH of the protein product is from about 7.60 to about 8.40. The protein paste may be derived from peanuts processed at a heat load of greater than 3 and less than or equal to 2000.
