Lipid and protein containing material in particulate form and process therefor

摘要

A dry, free-flowing and non-caking material whose lecithin content can be varied over a wide range is prepared by combining an aqueous medium, a lipid phase containing at least 1 wt % lecithin, and a proteinaceous material, such as a soy concentrate, comprising a porous particulate substance which includes at least 30 wt % of a substantially water insoluble protein, and drying the resulting mixture. The free-flowing and non-caking nature of the particulate product is attributed to the porous and rigid structure of the proteinaceous material which permits the lipis phase to be contained in the interstitial spaces present in each particle.
