Abstract
The invention relates to a method of preparing an oil body solution. The method comprises the preparation of a suspension of seed material and cereal bran. The suspension is thereafter mechanically disrupted to form a slurry, the pH of the obtained slurry is adjusted to greater than 6 to form an oil body solution. The oil body solution is then heat-treated. The invention also relates to an oil body solution or a powder thereof and to food products comprising said oil body solution or powder thereof.
Claims20
A method of preparing an oil body solution, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. preparing a suspension of seed material and cereal bran in an aqueous phase, wherein the seed material and the cereal bran are present in a dry weight ratio of between 50:50 to 95:5, and wherein the aqueous phase is free from organic solvent;
- b. mechanically disrupting the suspension to form a slurry;
- c. adjusting the pH of the slurry to greater than 6 to form an oil body solution;
- d. optionally, filtering or centrifuging the oil body solution to concentrate the oil body solution;
- e. heat-treating the oil body solution;
- and
- f. optionally, drying the oil body solution to form a powder.
An oil body solution or powder thereof, obtained by a method comprising:
- a. preparing a suspension of seed material and cereal bran in an aqueous phase, wherein the seed material and the cereal bran are present in a dry weight ratio of between 50:50 to 95:5, and wherein the aqueous phase is free from organic solvent;
- b. mechanically disrupting the suspension to form a slurry;
- C. adjusting the pH of the slurry to greater than 6 to form an oil body solution;
- d. optionally, filtering or centrifuging the oil body solution to concentrate the oil body solution;
- e. heat-treating the oil body solution;
- and
- f. optionally, drying the oil body solution to form a powder.
An oil body solution which has an average D[3,2] particle size between 0.5 μm to 20 μm measured using static light scattering, has a pH between 6.5 to 10, and comprises cereal bran;
- or a powder thereof.
A food Feed product selected from the group consisting of a plant-based milk alternative, ice cream, confectionery, alternative chilled dairy that is a yogurt analogue, nutritional supplement, nutritional meal, baby food, sauce, dressing, soup, dip, and combinations thereof, the food product comprising an oil body solution which has an average D[3,2] particle size between 0.5 μm to 20 μm measured using static light scattering, has a pH between 6.5 to 10, and comprises cereal bran;
- or a powder thereof.
