Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid, particulate plant-protein-based structurant composition comprising, based on total dry matter, a) 50-95 wt. % plant derived protein, b) 5-10 wt. % xanthan gum, c) 1-30 wt. % glucono delta lactone-derived acidulant. The invention further relates to a food product comprising said structurant composition. The invention further relates to a method for the preparation of said structurant composition and to a process for preparing a food product using said structurant composition.
Claims8
A solid, particulate plant-protein-based structurant composition comprising, based on total dry matter:
- a) 50-95 wt. % plant derived protein,
- b) 5-10 wt. % xanthan gum, wherein the xanthan gum has a pyruvate content, based on weight of xanthan gum, of between 3 and 8 wt. %,
- c) 1-30 wt. % glucono delta lactone-derived acidulant,
- wherein at most 30 wt. % of the plant-protein-based structurant particles pass a sieve with a mesh size of 125 μm, and
- wherein the solid particulate plant-protein-based structurant composition is a complex coacervate.
