Abstract
The invention relates to a use of an extruded material, including (A) one or more biodegradable, thermoplastically processable biopolymer(s) and (B) one or more inorganic, organic or low-solubility salt(s) as a shell for an egg-replacement product, and to an egg-replacement product including vegan-based egg white and egg yolk which are encased by the shell.
Claims9
A use of a material made from
- (A) one or more biodegradable, thermoplastically processable biopolymer(s), and
- (B) one or more inorganic, organic or hardly soluble salt(s) as a shell for an egg replacement product.
An egg substitute product, comprising:
- an egg white and egg yolk on a vegan basis, enveloped by a shell made from a material produced by extrusion from (A) one or more biodegradable, thermoplastically processable biopolymer (s), and (B) one or more inorganic, organic or hardly soluble salt(s),
- wherein both albumen and yolk include (a) vegetable protein from legumes, oilseeds, cereals and/or algae, and (b) a combination of at least two hydrocolloids with a different reaction to temperature changes.
