The present invention is situated in the field of food technology. The invention more specifically relates to a cream substitute wherein the milk or dairy-derived components, e.g. the milk protein component has been replaced by intact pulse protein. The invention further provides cream substitute products such as whipped cream, culinary cream, ice cream and milk dessert substitute as well as methods for producing these.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a food or beverage product, in particular to a method for forming agglomerated pea proteins in an ingredient composition. The invention also relates food or beverage product comprising agglomerated pea proteins.

The present invention provides peptoid polymers capable of reducing or inhibiting the formation of ice crystals at sub 0° C. temperatures. Also provided are peptoid-peptide hybrids comprising the peptoid polymers provided herein. The peptoid polymers and peptoid-peptide hybrids provided herein are useful for making cryoprotectant solutions. The peptoid polymers, peptoid-peptide hybrids, and cryoprotectant solutions provided herein are useful for making antifreeze solutions, frozen food products, and cosmetic care products. Also provided herein are methods for preserving a tissue, an organ, a cell, or a biological macromolecule using the compositions described herein.

Plant based beverage products and processes are disclosed, particularly plant based milk and creamer compositions comprising divalent cationic salts and treated with endoprotease and ionic compounds, including divalent cationic salts. In some embodiments, the process discloses a limited degree of protein hydrolysis in combination with added divalent cations. The process results in plant based milks with improved sensory and functional quality when compared to existing products, particularly reduced feathering when used as a creamer. The process is preferably used with plant based beverages processed with minimal disruption of the native protein structure. The resulting products have stability and functionality similar to that of dairy beverage products.

Provided herein are methods for producing a mung bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more mung bean proteins from a mung bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.

The invention relates to the field of plant protein isolates, and in particular to field bean protein isolates. The invention also relates to a process for the production thereof and to industrial applications thereof.
