Abstract
Abstract Up to 75% of the whole egg requirement of a custard can be replaced using from about 40% to about 60% of a whey protein concentrate containing from about 0.5% to about 5% carboxymethylcellulose and from about 60% to about 40% of a lactylated shortening. Substantially no change is seen in the food product containing the substitution. An economic advantage can be gained by the substitution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A method for preparing whole egg containing baked custard which comprises replacing up to about 75% of the whole egg requirement of said custard with an egg replacer composition comprising: (a) from about 40% to about 60% of the composition of a blend of a whey solids product and from about 0.5% to about 5.0% based on the weight of the blend of carboxymethylcellulose, said whey solids product comprising: (1) from about 75% to 100% of a substantially non-heat denatured whey protein concentrate having at least 35% protein wherein at least 50% of said protein is derived from acid whey, and (2) from about 25% to 0% of another protein containing whey based product; and (b) from about 60% to about 40% of the egg replacer composition of a lactylated shortening, said egg replacer composition replacing at least 90% of the whole egg solids replaced on a weight/weight basis, all percentages herein being on a dry weight basis.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
158 words
A method for preparing whole egg containing baked custard which comprises replacing up to about 75% of the whole egg requirement of said custard with an egg replacer composition comprising: (a) from about 40% to about 60% of the composition of a blend of a whey solids product and from about 0.5% to about 5.0% based on the weight of the blend of carboxymethylcellulose, said whey solids product comprising: (1) from about 75% to 100% of a substantially non-heat denatured whey protein concentrate having at least 35% protein wherein at least 50% of said protein is derived from acid whey, and (2) from about 25% to 0% of another protein containing whey based product; and (b) from about 60% to about 40% of the egg replacer composition of a lactylated shortening, said egg replacer composition replacing at least 90% of the whole egg solids replaced on a weight/weight basis, all percentages herein being on a dry weight basis.
