Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing an assembly of at least one dairy protein and at least one vegetable protein, and the assembly obtained by the method. Also, the uses of the assembly, in particular in the food processing field.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for obtaining an assembly of a pea protein and at least one casein consisting of the steps of: obtaining an aqueous composition comprising a pea protein; lowering the pH of said composition comprising a pea protein to a value less than or equal to 2.5 so as to obtain an acidified composition, wherein the lowering of the pH denatures the pea protein; obtaining an aqueous composition comprising at least casein, wherein the casein is not denatured; introducing the aqueous composition comprising at least casein into said acidified composition so as to obtain a mixture; resting the mixture, during which no treatment is applied; homogenizing the mixture at a temperature of between 4° C. and 35° C. the mixture obtained; and raising the pH of said homogenized mixture to a value between 6.9 and 7.5 so as to obtain said assembly, wherein the pea protein and the casein protein are folded on themselves and between themselves so as to adopt a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein no pH adjustments are made to the aqueous composition comprising at least casein.
