Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to a food product and a method of manufacturing a food product. One disclosed example provides a food product including a foamed aquafaba-containing substrate network, a strengthening component configured to provide mechanical strength to the foamed aquafaba-containing substrate network, a polysaccharide-based viscosity-increasing component, and a starch.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a food product, the method comprising:
- incorporating air into an aqueous mixture comprising aquafaba, a matrix-reinforcing component derived from cellulose, and a viscosity-increasing component to form a foamed mixture, the viscosity-increasing component comprising one or more of xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, gum karaya, gum tragacanth, or gum Arabic;
- after forming the foamed mixture, incorporating one or more of a starch or a protein source into the foamed mixture;
- after incorporating the one or more of the starch or the protein source into the foamed mixture, incorporating a fat source into the foamed mixture, and then dehydrating the foamed mixture.
A method of manufacturing a food product, the method comprising:
- incorporating air into an aqueous mixture comprising a matrix-forming component, a cellulose-based matrix-reinforcing component, and a viscosity-increasing component, the matrix-forming component comprising aquafaba;
- after forming a foamed mixture, incorporating one or more of a starch or a protein source into the foamed mixture;
- after incorporating the starch and the protein source into the foamed mixture, incorporating a fat source into the foamed mixture;
- after incorporating the fat source into the foamed mixture, incorporating a flavoring into the foamed mixture;
- and
- dehydrating the foamed mixture.
