A liquid natural plant based creamer composition comprising:
- an edible nut;
- high-acyl gellan gum present in an amount ranging from 0.08 to 0.15 wt/wt %;
- pea protein present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt/wt %;
- and
- a buffer.
A beverage comprising water, a beverage-forming component and a sufficient amount of the creamer composition comprising an edible nut, high-acyl gellan gum present in an amount ranging from 0.08 to 0.15 wt/wt %, pea protein present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt/wt %, and a buffer to provide whitening, good texture and mouthfeel.
A process of preparing the creamer composition comprising an edible nut;
- high-acyl gellan gum present in an amount ranging from 0.08 to 0.15 wt/wt %;
- pea protein present in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt/wt %;
- and a buffer comprising:
- dissolving the ingredients in hot water under agitation;
- sterilizing the composition using ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment;
- homogenizing the composition at temperature ranging from 70−85° C.;
- and
- wherein homogenization performed before UHT treatment, after UHT treatment, or before and after UHT treatment.
