The present disclosure provides food compositions for humans comprising a Methylococcus capsulatus protein isolate or whole cell product, wherein the Methylococcus capsulatus protein isolate or whole cell product is composed of at least 70% crude protein; has a protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of at least 0.9; and has a .sup.13C of about 70 to about 30. Methylococcus capsulatus protein isolates or whole cell products provided herein are useful for the manufacture of meat substitutes as well as other food compositions, such as protein bars, nutritional beverages, protein supplement powders, frozen non-dairy desserts, and baked goods.

A creamer composition comprising sugar beet pectin, vegetable oil and bulking agent, a beverage capsule comprising such creamer, a beverage system comprising such creamer, a beverage composition comprising such creamer and a method of producing such creamer. Furthermore, the use of sugar beet pectin as an emulsifier in a creamer composition.

Provided are food products that are derived from non-animal sources that have one or more of the following: color, taste, nutritional content, and other qualities similar to those of dairy products and/or other types of food products. Also provided are processes for production of such dairy-like food products and/or other types of food product analogs.

A non-dairy whippable food composition has vegetable fat in an amount of 10 to 40 percent by weight of the composition, an oat-derived material including dry matter in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight of the composition, water, and a stabilizer including monoglycerides and/or diglycerides. The vegetable fat in the composition is non-hydrogenated vegetable fat.

The invention relates to a powdered whipping agent for preparing whipped topping, the whipping agent comprising 57-70 wt. % fat or oil; 1-6.5 wt. % of an alpha-tending emulsifier, selected from the group consisting of lactic acid esters of mono and/or diglycerides of fatty acids, acetic acid esters of mono and/or diglycerides of fatty acids, propyleneglycol monostearate, and mixtures thereof; 0.2-2.0 wt. % of nonionic mono- and/or diglycerides of fatty acids having an acyl chain of 14-20 carbon atoms; 1.0-5 wt. % proteinaceous emulsifier, 18-35 wt. % carbohydrates and 0.1-4 wt. % moisture, and wherein the weight/weight ratio of the fat or oil to the alpha-tending emulsifier is 10 or higher and lower than 30. The invention further relates to a method for preparing such a powdered whipping agent. The invention also relates to a method for preparing a whipped topping using the powdered whipping agent according to the invention. The invention further relates to the use of a powdered whipping agent according to the invention for the preparation of a whipped food product.

A dairy analogue composition comprises up to 90% by weight of water; and from 1% by weight to 80% by weight of a fat composition; wherein the fat composition comprises an interesterified blend of non-tropical vegetable oil and fully hydrogenated non-tropical vegetable oil.

A plant-based culinary crme that includes water, fat, sweetener, plant-based protein, and a dairy-free milk and/or dairy-free milk powder. The plant-based culinary crme does not contain any dairy products. The plant-based culinary crme may be used in hot and/or cold applications. The culinary crme can be used in sauces, soups, pudding (both instant and cooked), smoothies, dressings, and frozen desserts. It provides a crme option for people who cannot or choose not to eat dairy-based products.

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.

Coconut oil, coconut oil blends that are high in MCTs such as LouAna liquid coconut oil, pure MCT oils, and Omega-3 oils may be emulsified to create an emulsified oil or blend that may take the form of a creamy shot or a cream substitute. These oils and/or blends may be emulsified using an emulsifier that may be selected from the following: sunflower lecithin, sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), or a combination of sunflower lecithin and SSL. By emulsifying these oils/oil blends, a good tasting creamy shot or a cream substitute can be formed.

Coconut oil, coconut oil blends that are high in MCTs such as LouAna liquid coconut oil, pure MCT oils, Omega-3oils, cannabidiol (CBD), hemp extract, tree nut oil, macadamia oil, almond oil, cashew oil, avocado oil, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fish oil, and/or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may be emulsified to create an emulsified oil or blend that may take the form of a creamy shot or a cream substitute. These oils and/or blends may be emulsified using an emulsifier that may be selected from the following: sunflower lecithin, sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), acacia gum, beta-cyclodextrin, and combinations of same. By emulsifying these oils/oil blends, a good tasting creamy shot or a cream substitute can be formed.
