Method For Preparing An Aqueous Dispersion Of A Poorly Dispersible Plant Protein

Patent No. EP3256002 (titled "Method For Preparing An Aqueous Dispersion Of A Poorly Dispersible Plant Protein") was filed by Frieslandcampina Nederland on Feb 8, 2016. The application was issued on Sep 23, 2020.

Patent Summary

A method for preparing colloidal protein particles with enhanced dispersibility in aqueous media, particularly for plant protein sources that are inherently poorly dispersible in water. The method involves treating particles comprising plant proteins with caseinate in an aqueous dispersion, followed by high-pressure homogenization. This process disrupts the plant protein particles and creates a colloidal dispersion with improved dispersibility in water, specifically achieving dispersibility of 10% or less at 20°C. The resulting particles retain their plant protein core while surrounding it with caseinate, forming a stable colloidal dispersion that can be further processed for various applications.
