COMPOSITE OF POLYSACCHARIDE WITH PROTEIN AND EMULSIFYING AGENT AND EMULSION EACH CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

Emulsifying agents of the natural polvymer type, especially polysaccharide type, attain excellent emulsion stability and give a stable emulsion. However, their emulsifying power is not always high and these emulsifying agents have been still insufficient in giving an emulsion having a small particle diameter. A polymer-type emulsifying agent is provided which has high emulsifying power and with which an emulsion having a small emulsified-particle diameter can be obtained. The emulsifying agent, which is of the natural polymer type having high emulsifying power, is an emulsifying agent containing as an active ingredient a composite of a polysaccharide with a specific protein which was contained in soybean and has a proline content of 10% or higher and a molecular weight of 50,000-80,000 Da.
