The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pulverulent emulsified composition in which a soybean protein material is used as a protein material constituting part of the pulverulent emulsified composition, the pulverulent emulsifier composition having excellent color tone and exhibiting no feathering or oiling-off when added to, e.g., coffee. A pulverulent emulsified composition that contains, in proportion by dry weight, 0.3-7.0% by weight of a soybean protein material, 10-40% by weight of oils/fats, 0.01 to less than 1.0% by weight of a buffer salt, 40-70% by weight of sugars, and 0.8-5.0% by weight of an emulsifier, and is characterized in that when 5 g thereof is dispersed into coffee obtained by dissolving 2 g of instant coffee in 150 mL of 80 C. water, the lightness (L* value) of the dispersion is at least 35, makes it possible to obtain excellent color tone and exhibits no feathering or oiling-off when added to coffee.

An oil-in-water emulsion satisfies all of the following four criteria: the protein content is from 0.1 to 10 mass %; a marine-derived potassium salt is contained; the mass ratio between sodium and potassium (Na:K) is from 1:0.5 to 1:10; and the oil component content is from 0.3 to 49 mass %. Preferably, the non-fat milk solids content is less than 3 mass %. It is also preferable that the oil-in-water emulsion contains a plant-based milk, or contains a plant-derived protein material.

The invention provides a method for suppressing off-flavor formation in food products other than meat substitutes which comprise or have been prepared from a mixture comprising water, a lipid and native patatin, as well as to food products thus obtained.

The invention relates to a powdered whipping agent for preparing whipped topping, the whipping agent comprising, by weight of the whipping agent, at least 20 wt. % but less than 57 wt. % fat or oil or mixtures thereof; 1.0-5.5 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, propylene glycol monostearate, and mixtures thereof; 0.2-2.0 wt. % of nonionic mono- and/or diglycerides of fatty acids having at least one acyl chain of 14-20 carbon atoms; 1.0-5.0 wt. % proteinaceous emulsifier, 25.5-75.0 wt. % carbohydrates and 0.1-4.0 wt. % moisture. 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.

An edible topping composition which is pourable at refrigeration and room temperatures. The edible topping composition includes a coconut component (i.e., coconut oil, coconut cream, and/or coconut milk), fat, stabilizer, sweetener, and water. One or more optional ingredients can also be used (e.g., milk protein or soy protein, emulsifiers, thickeners, salt, phosphate salt, flavoring, coloring, preservatives, etc.). The edible topping composition is whippable and, in a whipped form, has a smooth, non-greasy texture and is free of waxy mouth feel.

Process for preparing an edible fat slurry comprising 60-98% by weight (on the total slurry of oil and fat powder) of an edible oil phase and 2-40% by weight (on the total slurry of oil and fat powder) of fat powder, wherein the fat powder is sprayed directly a mixing vessel to be combined with oil.

Colloidal food base compositions comprising fungal mycelial biomass are disclosed, as are methods of making such colloidal food base compositions. The fungal mycelial biomass may stabilize the colloid and/or act as a supplemental or replacement source of protein in analogs of conventional non-fungal colloidal food products, such as ice cream and mayonnaise.

The disclosure concerns a liquid oat composition for coffee or tea whitening. The liquid oat composition comprises an oat derived material with 5-20% by weight dry substance, based on the weight of the liquid oat composition. According to the disclosure, the liquid oat composition has an oat protein deamidation degree of at least 10%. A method for production thereof is also disclosed.

A hydrophilic powdered oil and/or fat using the selected protein since a hydrophilic powdered oil and/or fat prepared by using a protein other than milk such as soybean protein does not have sufficient emulsion stability is produced. The hydrophilic powdered oil and/or fat can be produced by drying an oil-in-water emulsion containing 5 parts by mass or more of a protein material having properties described below based on 100 parts by mass of the oil and/or fat, wherein the protein material has properties such that an aqueous solution of the protein material having a crude protein content of 20 mass % exhibits a viscosity of 10000 mPa.Math.s or less as measured at 25 C. after being heated at 80 C. for 30 minutes; the protein material has a 0.22 M TCA solubility of from 30% to 95%, and the protein material has an NSI of 80 or more.
