Abstract
The present invention relates to processes for providing plant seed based compositions with enhanced mouthfeel and aroma. In addition the invention relates to the use of such plant seed based compositions for making capsules for beverage dispensers.
Claims15
A process for providing a plant seed based composition, the process comprising a first mixing step to obtain a first composition and a second mixing step to obtain a second composition;
- wherein
- a) mixing in a first mixing step an oil component with plant seed and grinding the plant seed in oil thereby providing a first composition comprising micronized plant seeds incorporated in the oil component, wherein the oil is selected from the group consisting of palm kernel oil, canola oil, soy bean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cotton seed oil, palm oil, milk fat, corn oil, high oleic variants of oils such as high oleic soybean, high oleic canola, high oleic safflower, high oleic sunflower oil, and coconut oil;
- b) providing an aqueous component selected from the group consisting of milk proteins, plant proteins and combinations thereof thereby providing a second composition,
- c) mixing in a second mixing step the first composition with the second composition and
- d) homogenising the composition thereby providing an oil-in-water emulsion.
A method for producing a product selected from the group consisting of RTD beverage, powder creamer, liquid creamer, coffee mix, bakery and culinary product comprising using a plant seed based composition to produce the product comprising a first mixing step to obtain a first composition and a second mixing step to obtain a second composition comprising:
- a) mixing in a first mixing step an oil component with plant seed and grinding the plant seed in oil thereby providing a first composition comprising micronized plant seeds incorporated in the oil component, wherein the oil is selected from the group consisting of palm kernel oil, canola oil, soy bean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cotton seed oil, palm oil, milk fat, corn oil, high oleic variants of oils such as high oleic soybean, high oleic canola, high oleic safflower, high oleic sunflower oil, and coconut oil;
- b) providing an aqueous component selected from the group consisting of milk proteins, plant proteins and combinations thereof thereby providing a second composition,
- c) mixing in a second mixing step the first composition with the second composition and
- d) homogenising the composition thereby providing an oil-in-water emulsion.
