The invention relates to a vegan composition for use as an egg and/or dairy replacement comprising a starch source, a dietary fiber source and a hydrolyzed vegetable protein. The invention also relates to baked food products, such as cakes, in particular sponge cakes, comprising the composition. The invention also relates to the use of the vegan composition as an egg and/or dairy replacement in baked food products.

Provided herein are compositions, proteins, polynucleotides, expression vectors, host cells, kits, and systems for producing egg white proteins, as well as methods of using the same.

A vegetable substance-made synthetic egg includes a vegetable substance-made synthetic egg powder that is in a dry form and packed in an enclosed form. To use, water of a predetermined ratio is uniformly mixed with the egg powder made of vegetable substance to make an egg liquid that is heatable and cookable to make egg cuisines of scrambled egg and fried egg, and as such, mimicking of an actual egg can be realized as being made close to the actual egg in respect of taste and quality and containing zero cholesterol and allowing for easy carrying, storing, and cooking. A composition of the egg powder made up of vegetable substances includes at least 50.00% of rice protein, 5.00% of gellan gum, 1.50% of sodium alginate, 0.50% of calcium lactate, 0.10% of lutein, 3.00% of yeast powder, 5.00% of xanthan gum and 31.90% of corn flour, and 3.00% of edible salt.

A clean-label, plant-based hard-boiled egg product, that replicates the look and feel of a regular hard-boiled egg by providing a yolk portion and an albumin portion. The yolk portion and the albumin portion provide meaningful nutritional value while replicating a standard hard-boiled egg. The yolk portion may be formed to replace a hard-boiled egg or a deviled egg and molded into the albumin portion to provide the final egg product. The yolk may also be enhanced to form a superfood egg. The future egg product varieties may be used in combination with various plant-based food ingredients by providing the structure, texture and other properties of a hard-boiled egg while serving as a healthier, tastier, ready-to-eat, cruelty-free, and more sustainable alternative to a bird-laid egg.

The present invention relates to the creation of meat-analogs, including bacon or jerky. The present invention further can relate to the use of hydrocolloid gels or films as structural components of meat analog food products. Hydrocolloid gels or films are used in order to improve the similarity of meat analog food products to whole muscle cuts of meat and seafood, including animal sourced bacon.

A liquid egg analog has a composition comprising water, lupin protein, pea protein, oil, high acyl and low acyl gellan gum, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, isomaltooligosaccharide, acidulant, and divalent cations of magnesium and calcium. A method of preparing the liquid egg analog combines water, lupin protein and pea protein to produce a protein mix, combines water and gellan gums to produce a gel mix, and combines the protein mix and gel mix with the remaining ingredients to produce a combined mixture. The combined mixture may then be pasteurized, cooled and bottled.

Embodiments herein are directed to egg replacement compositions, egg replacement emulsions, liquid eggs, liquid egg formulations, or egg replacement formulations and the use of each in a variety of food products, wherein the egg replacement compositions, egg replacement emulsions, liquid eggs, liquid egg formulations, or egg replacement formulations possess one or more functional properties similar to a natural egg.

A dry aquafaba based powder is disclosed. The dry aquafaba based powder may include, aquafaba and an additive. The additive may be at least one of: a carbohydrate, a legume protein, legumes starch, legume fibers, maltodextrin, inulin, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the aquafaba is produced from a legume. The legume may be at least one of: chickpeas, beans, soybeans, peas, lentils, lupins, and a combination thereof.

The present disclosure provides compositions for preparation of egg-like products.

The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to pulse protein-based emulsifiers comprising unhydrolyzed soluble pulse, or pea, or chickpea protein and a dissolved, unmodified amylopectin. Also disclosed in this specification are long term shelf stable egg-free emulsions and methods of their manufacture using the described pulse protein-based emulsifiers. Stability of the emulsion can be measured by reference to their small mean oil droplet size and reduced variability in mean oil droplet size over time.
