The present invention discloses a native rapeseed protein isolate comprising 40 to 65% cruciferins and 35 to 60% napins and having a solubility of at least 88% when measured over a pH range from 3 to 10 at a temperature of 232 C.; wherein the native rapeseed protein isolate comprises from 5% to 65% on dry matter of 12S rapeseed protein where the presence of 12S is verified by Blue Native PAGE.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a monoglyceride hydrate product, which product may be used as an emulsifier in various food and non-food applications. The present invention further relates to the monoglyceride hydrate product obtainable by said method. The invention further relates to a monoglyceride hydrate product, comprising monoglycerides, with saturated fatty acid residues, water and non-hydrogenated monoglycerides and/or diglycerides having unsaturated fatty acid residues.

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.

Disclosed herein is a method for producing a raw material having foam-forming properties and/or emulsion-forming properties by causing a lipase to act on an oil/fat in a low moisture state; and a product thereof. As disclosed, an oil/fat, or an oil/fat and a carbohydrate, is reacted with a lipase in a low moisture state, that is, in a state in which a moisture content relative to a dry weight of the oil/fat is 4 to 400 [d.b.%] (an added quantity of water is 2 to 200 L relative to 50 mg of the oil/fat), thereby producing a carbohydrate-oil/fat-lipase reaction product of a precursor material having latent foam-forming properties and emulsion-forming properties, and an alkaline component or material is added to the precursor material having latent foam-forming properties and emulsion-forming properties, and the obtained mixture is foamed, emulsified or powdered, thereby producing a product in which the entire reaction product can be used as a food material. Also disclosed is a carbohydrate-oil/fat-lipase reaction product of a precursor material having latent foam-forming properties and emulsion-forming properties can be produced; and a powdered and stabilized carbohydrate-oil/fat-lipase reaction product having foam-forming properties and/or emulsion-forming properties, and a product in which the entire reaction product can be used as a food material.

A method for producing a collagenous material in particle form, comprises: extracting a collagen- and fat-containing animal raw material using an aqueous extraction solution; optionally separating at least one part of the aqueous phase from the extraction residue; separating the extraction residue into a collagenous solid phase, an aqueous phase, and a fat phase; mixing at least one part of the collagenous solid phase with at least one part of the aqueous phase; at least partly drying the mixed phases; and comminuting the dried phases in order to obtain the collagenous material in particle form.

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 0.07 to 0.15 wt/wt %; acacia senegal gum present in an amount ranging from 0.30 to 1.50 wt/wt %; and buffer ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 wt/wt %.
