SHELF-STABLE TEXTURED SANDWICH SPREADS

摘要

Textured sandwich spread or dip compositions comprising a dairy component comprising cream cheese, an oil-water emulsion comprising oil and water, and a legume-based component. The combination of cream cheese and the legume-based component provide a significantly more hearty texture to the composition than that provided by existing sandwich spreads, such as mayonnaise or mustard. The composition is advantageously phase stable so as to provide excellent shelf-stability so that proteins and other solid components of the composition do not retrograde or precipitate, even when hot filled into a container during preparation and packaging.
