Abstract

An emulsion composition includes dry powder of dicotyledonous plant seeds in a range between 1 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less, the dry powder having an average particle size in a range between 0.2 μm or larger and 150 μm or smaller, water in a range between 20 mass % or more and 69 mass % or less, and fat and oil in a range between 21 mass % or more and 70 mass % or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for producing an emulsion composition, comprising:
high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing of a mixture comprising dry powder of dicotyledonous plant seeds having an average particle size in a range of 0.2 μm or larger and 150 μm or smaller, water, and fat and oil; and maintaining a temperature of the mixture during the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing at 40° C. or lower, wherein:
the high-pressure homogenization processing is conducted at a pressure of 1 MPa or higher, and
with respect to a total amount of the mixture, a blending amount of the dry powder of the dicotyledonous plant seeds is in a range of 1 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less, a blending amount of the water is in a range of 20 mass % or more and 69 mass % or less, and a blending amount of the fat and oil is in a range of 21 mass % or more and 70 mass % or less.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mixture further comprises acetic acid, wherein with respect to the total amount of the mixture, a blending amount of the acetic acid is in a range between 0 mass % and 50 mass %.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sterilization processing at a temperature in a range of 65° C. or higher and 121° C. or lower for a period in a range of 4 minutes or more and 40 minutes or less, the sterilization processing being performed after the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing is performed until storage elasticity at an angular frequency of 10 rad/s becomes 10 Pa or more.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing is performed until loss tangent at the angular frequency of 10 rad/s becomes 3.5 or less.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the average particle size of the dry powder of the dicotyledonous plant seeds is in a range of 5 μm or larger and 90 μm or smaller.

7 . A method for producing an emulsion composition, comprising:
high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing of a mixture comprising:
dry powder of dicotyledonous plant seeds having an average particle size in a range of 5 μm or larger and 90 μm or smaller, water,
acetic acid in a range between 0 mass % and 50 mass %, and fat and oil; and
maintaining a temperature of the mixture during the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing at 40° C. or lower, wherein:
the high-pressure homogenization processing is conducted at a pressure of 1 MPa or higher,
the dicotyledonous plant seeds comprise one or more seeds selected from the group consisting of almonds, cashew nuts, peanuts, red beans, kidney beans, mung beans, and soybeans, and
with respect to a total amount of the mixture, a blending amount of the dry powder of the dicotyledonous plant seeds is in a range of 1 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less, a blending amount of the water is in a range of 20 mass % or more and 69 mass % or less, and a blending amount of the fat and oil is in a range of 21 mass % or more and 70 mass % or less.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing is conducted at the pressure of 20 MPa or higher.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the mixture is maintained in a range of 10° C. or higher and 35° C. or lower during the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant seeds comprise one or more seeds selected from the group consisting of almonds, cashew nuts, peanuts, red beans, kidney beans, mung beans, and soybeans.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant seeds consist of soybean seeds.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant seeds comprise one or more seeds selected from the group consisting of almonds, cashew nuts, and peanuts.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the dry powder comprising the dicotyledonous plant seeds comprise 11S protein.

14 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing is conducted at the pressure of 20 MPa or higher.

15 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant seeds consist of soybean seeds.

16 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the dicotyledonous plant seeds comprise one or more seeds selected from the group consisting of almonds, cashew nuts, and peanuts.

17 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing is performed until storage elasticity at an angular frequency of 10 rad/s becomes 10 Pa or more.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing is performed until loss tangent at the angular frequency of 10 rad/s becomes 3.5 or less.

19 . A method for producing an emulsion composition, comprising:
high-pressure homogenization processing or ultrasonic homogenization processing of a mixture comprising:
dry powder of dicotyledonous plant seeds comprising 11S protein, the dry powder having an average particle size in a range of 5 μm or larger and 90 μm or smaller,
