Abstract
Abstract 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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A process for preparing a free-flowing and non-caking lipid- and protein-containing material in particulate form comprising 95 to 35 wt.% of vegetable proteinaceous material, said proteinaceous material consisting of a porous particulate substance which comprises at least 30 wt.% of substantially water-insoluble protein and the balance of a lipid phase and 1 to 10 wt.% of water, said lipid phase comprising 80 to 99 wt.% of fats and/or oils and 1 to 20 wt.% of lecithin, said lipid phase being contained within interstitial spaces of individual particles of said porous substance, said process comprising preparing a suspension of either said proteinaceous matter or said lipid phase in an aqueous medium at elevated temperature, including therein the other component while ensuring that said lipid phase is molten, homogenizing the suspension obtained and drying the homogenized material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A process for preparing a free-flowing and non-caking lipid- and protein-containing material in particulate form comprising 95 to 35 wt.% of vegetable proteinaceous material, said proteinaceous material consisting of a porous particulate substance which comprises at least 30 wt.% of substantially water-insoluble protein and the balance of a lipid phase and 1 to 10 wt.% of water, said lipid phase comprising 80 to 99 wt.% of fats and/or oils and 1 to 20 wt.% of lecithin, said lipid phase being contained within interstitial spaces of individual particles of said porous substance, said process comprising preparing a suspension of either said proteinaceous matter or said lipid phase in an aqueous medium at elevated temperature, including therein the other component while ensuring that said lipid phase is molten, homogenizing the suspension obtained and drying the homogenized material.
