Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a vegan food composition comprising at least 30 wt % legume and at least 20 wt % non-legume seeds or non-legume nuts on a dry basis, wherein said composition comprises at least 5 wt % dietary fiber provided by the legume and at least 22 wt % protein provided by any one or more of said legume, non-legume seed, and non-legume nuts, and wherein the D90 particle size of said composition is less than 400 microns.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A vegan food composition comprising at least 30 wt % legume and at least 20 wt % non-legume seeds on a dry basis, wherein said composition comprises at least 5 wt % dietary fiber provided by the legume and at least 22 wt % protein provided by any one or more of said legume and non-legume seed, and wherein the D90 particle size of said composition is less than 400 microns. 2 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a milk analogue. 3 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , comprising between 40 wt % and 70 wt % legume. 4 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , wherein the legume is de-hulled and/or roasted. 5 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , wherein the legume is chickpea. 6 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , comprising between 24 wt % and 40 wt % protein provided by the legume and non-legume seeds. 7 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , wherein the D90 particle size of the composition is less than 300 microns. 8 . A vegan food composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition has a D50 particle size of less than 50 microns. 9 . A food product comprising the vegan food composition according to claim 1 . 10 . A method of making a vegan food composition comprising: a. Mixing at least 30 wt % legume and at least 20 wt % non-legume seed or non-legume nuts on a dry basis; b. Reducing the D90 particle size to less than 1000 microns, preferably by milling; c. Adding an aqueous phase; d. Adding enzyme to prevent gelation, heating, and de-activating the enzyme; e. Reducing particle size so that the D90 particle size is less than 400 microns f. Homogenising; and g. Sterilizing or pasteurizing. 11 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the legume is de-hulled and/or roasted. 12 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the legume is chickpea. 13 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the non-legume seed is sunflower. 14 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein at least 20% of fat is removed from the non-legume seed. 15 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the enzyme is alpha amylase. 16 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein micronization is performed by a Jet-mill, or a Ball-mill. 17 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein the vegan food composition is deodorized using vacuum at a temperature higher than 40° C. 18 . A vegan food composition made by the method of claim 10 . 19 .
