Ionic complexes of ionizable emulsifiers with ionizable polypeptides and/or ionizable hydrocolloids

摘要

The invention relates to ionic complexes of ionizable emulsifiers with ionizable polypeptides and/or ionizable hydrocolloids. The complexes are useful as fat substitutes, food opacifiers, foam stabilizers and flavor modifiers. They are further useful as stiffeners for oils and oil-water emulsions allowing the use of normally liquid unsatured oils in place of saturated fats in food compositions such as shortenings and spreads.
