Disclosed is a method for texturing food and/or nutraceutical products of the “sponge cake” or “solid foam” type including at least: (a). A transformation by controlled grinding of a preparation of at least one food, able to preserve the desired organoleptic properties, able to obtain a ground material, (b). Addition of a molecule with an inactive structure to the ground material to obtain a mixture, (c). Pressurization of the mixture obtained in step (b) by the incorporation of dissolved gas into the mixture, (d). Mechanical expansion obtained by reducing the pressure of the mixture obtained in step (b), (e). Activation of the structure molecule, wherein the mechanical expansion is achieved by reducing the pressure by at least 6 bar, preferably between 6 and 20 bar, preferably between 10 and 18 bar.

The present invention relates generally to the field of liquid food compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to liquid food compositions that can be used as dairy alternatives. Dairy alternatives usually do not comprise dairy proteins. For example, such dairy alternatives may comprise alternative protein sources. The liquid food composition of the present invention contains ea protein. Hence, the present invention relates, for example, to a liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, sunflower oil, sugar, gellan gum, tribasic calcium phosphate, inulin, dipotassium phosphate, and water, wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy proteins.
