A fat substitute is prepared from proteinaceous material which delivers the creamy mouthfeel of fat without the high calorie content or cholesterol of fat. The fat substitute is prepared by adjusting the pH of the food protein to its isoelectric point under conditions which prevent self aggregation of the proteins. This procedure causes the protein molecules to form microglobular particles. Concentration of the microglobular particles yields the fat substitute. To impart flavor to the fat substitute, food flavors can be incorporated during the process. The product can be consumed as it is or it can be utilized as a fat and incorporated into other food products as a fat replacement. |
