FOOD PRODUCTS OR BEVERAGES WITH AGGLOMERATED PEA PROTEIN Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A23C11/06 A23J3/14 A23L2/62 A23L23/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food products and beverages containing agglomerated pea proteins. The following is proposed: a food product containing calcium or magnesium and agglomerated pea protein, wherein the average diameter D[4,3] of agglomerated pea protein, measured by laser diffraction, is from 2 to 50 μm, and the range of particle size distribution (D_v0.9 - D_v0.1)/D_v0.5 is from 0.1 to 10, while the food product contains pea protein in a concentration of 1.0 to 6 wt.%. A beverage containing calcium or magnesium and agglomerated pea protein is also proposed, wherein the average diameter D[4,3] of agglomerated pea protein, measured by laser diffraction, is from 2 to 50 μm, and the range of particle size distribution (D_v0.9 - D_v0.1)/D_v0.5 is from 0.1 to 10, and the beverage contains pea protein in a concentration of 1.0 to 6 wt.%.

EFFECT: invention allows to provide increased viscosity with a uniform taste sensation, optimal organoleptic properties, and reduce the total fat content, without the use of additional stabilizers or hydrocolloids in food products and beverages, when using pea protein agglomerates and divalent cations.
