Claims11
A method for preparing a food product which food product is frozen and completely thawed before consumption, which method comprises incorporating an ice structuring protein (ISP) in said food product and freezing the prepared food product.
A food product which is frozen and completely thawed before consumption, wherein said food product comprises an ice structuring protein.
An ice structuring protein which comprises the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a sequence at least 80% identical thereto or comprising the sequence set out in amino acids 21 to 261 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a sequence at least 80% identical thereto, wherein:
- at least one amino acid is a modified amino acid;
- at least one amino acid is O-mannosylated;
- the protein has a glycosylation pattern other than 2GlcNac and 2 hexose units;
- or
- the protein lacks WQKRSNARQWL, VQKRSNARQWL or KRSNARQWL at the C-terminus
- for preparing a frozen food product which frozen food product is completely thawed before consumption.
