RECOMBINANT OLEOSINS FROM CACAO AND THEIR USE AS FLAVORING OR EMULSIFYING AGENTS

摘要

The present invention pertains to recombinant genes coding for oleosin proteins in cacao and to polypeptides encoded by said genes. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of such genes and gene products for the manufacture of emulsifiers, encapsulating agents, and flavor components useful in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
