Definitions
- the present invention relates to liquid food compositions.
- the present invention relates to liquid food compositions that can be used as dairy alternatives.
- Dairy alternatives usually do not comprise dairy proteins.
- dairy alternatives may comprise alternative protein sources.
- the liquid food composition of the present invention contains pea protein and cocoa.
- Certain consumers wish to consume less milk or do not want to consume milk at all, for example, because of its animal origin, due to lactose intolerance or due to dairy allergies. They may also see potential environmental sustainability issues.
- WO 2013078510 discloses a nut-based milk analogue composition that has a substantially similar nutritional profile as cow milk.
- CA2982280 discloses a method of producing a milk alternative, without necessarily adding a gum or emulsifier or starch, using chickpeas and/or other whole legumes or lentils (regular, sprouted or fermented), using pea protein, chickpea protein and/or a combination of plant-based protein (regular, sprouted or fermented), using flax seed oil and/or other vegetable oil, through high rotation mixing, heat and pressure, producing a very smooth mouthfeel.
- Pea protein containing milk alternatives are commercially available.
- liquid food compositions that are a source of protein, fiber and calcium and low in fat.
- milk protein is replaced by plant protein sources, this often results in an unpleasant taste, and the composition can be perceived as bitter and/or astringent.
- liquid food composition that can be used as milk alternative, contains fiber and that has a good nutritional profile and taste profile.
- the objective of the present invention is to improve the state of the art and in particular to provide a liquid food composition that can be used as dairy alternative and that is source of protein, high in fiber and calcium, low in fat, contains cocoa and that provides a good nutritional profile, and a good taste profile and good physical stability.
- the present invention provides the improvement by the subject matter of the independent claims.
- the dependent claims further develop the idea of the present invention.
- the invention relates to a liquid food composition
- a liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, vegetable oil, fiber, a source of calcium for fortification, alkalized cocoa, and wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy protein, and has a pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, preferably a pH from 6.7 to 7.3.
- cocoa is traditionally use for making cocoa and chocolate beverages. Due to the bitter and/or astringent taste of cocoa, cocoa and chocolate dairy-based and plant-based beverages are known to have high level of sugar and fat to mask the bitterness of the cocoa. High level of sugar may be detrimental to a healthy diet.
- the present invention combines two components: pea and cocoa both with bitter and/or astringent taste but nevertheless provides a pleasant profile and creamy texture. This is achieved with relatively low levels of sugar and fat.
- the present invention provides a liquid food product which is stable over a longer period e.g. up 6 months ambient temperature shelf life. This is obtained without any substantially sedimentation which is otherwise a known problem for products containing cocoa.
- the words “comprises”, “comprising”, and similar words are not to be interpreted in an exclusive or exhaustive sense. In other words, they are intended to mean “including, but not limited to”. It has been found that the composition of the present invention achieves the objective of the present invention and - in particular - that liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, vegetable oil, fiber, a source of calcium for fortification, alkalized cocoa, and wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy protein, and has a pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, preferably a pH from 6.7 to 7.3, can be source of protein, high in calcium and high in fiber, low in fat and achieves the objective of the present invention.
- the composition of the present invention was found to have a surprisingly pleasant taste profile despite the high pea protein, cocoa and fiber content, low fat content and relatively low sugar content.
- Figure 1 shows the appearance of a product according to the invention after 6 months of storage at ambient conditions.
- the product of the present invention was stable, showing no phase separation, cocoa sedimentation or gel formation.
- the present invention relates in part to a liquid food composition

Description
LIQUID FOOD COMPOSITION COMPRISING PEA PROTEINS AND
COCOA
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to liquid food compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to liquid food compositions that can be used as dairy alternatives. Dairy alternatives usually do not comprise dairy proteins. For example, such dairy alternatives may comprise alternative protein sources. The liquid food composition of the present invention contains pea protein and cocoa.
Background
Certain consumers wish to consume less milk or do not want to consume milk at all, for example, because of its animal origin, due to lactose intolerance or due to dairy allergies. They may also see potential environmental sustainability issues.
As a consequence, consumers seek alternatives to milk. Alternatives to milk do exist and the dairy alternatives market is growing by 11% each year and finding an alternative with good nutrition and taste will be a major advantage in this competitive field.
WO 2013078510 discloses a nut-based milk analogue composition that has a substantially similar nutritional profile as cow milk.
CA2982280 discloses a method of producing a milk alternative, without necessarily adding a gum or emulsifier or starch, using chickpeas and/or other whole legumes or lentils (regular, sprouted or fermented), using pea protein, chickpea protein and/or a combination of plant-based protein (regular, sprouted or fermented), using flax seed oil and/or other vegetable oil, through high rotation mixing, heat and pressure, producing a very smooth mouthfeel.
Pea protein containing milk alternatives are commercially available.
However, consumers increasingly search for liquid food compositions that can be used as dairy alternatives that have an excellent nutritional value and a pleasant taste profile. In particular, there is a need for such liquid food compositions that are a source of protein, fiber and calcium and low in fat.
In particular the inclusion of fiber while maintaining a pleasant taste and texture profile appears to be difficult. In accordance with this US20130196028A1 discloses a method of making a chickpea soluble fraction, but which includes the removal of dietary fiber by filtration.
Also, if milk protein is replaced by plant protein sources, this often results in an unpleasant taste, and the composition can be perceived as bitter and/or astringent.
It would therefore be desirable to provide a liquid food composition that can be used as milk alternative, contains fiber and that has a good nutritional profile and taste profile.
Furthermore, there is a need for milk alternatives which are stable during several weeks of storage without formation of separation e.g. gel formation.
Any reference to prior art documents in this specification is not to be considered an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of the common general knowledge in the field.
Object of the invention
The objective of the present invention is to improve the state of the art and in particular to provide a liquid food composition that can be used as dairy alternative and that is source of protein, high in fiber and calcium, low in fat, contains cocoa and that provides a good nutritional profile, and a good taste profile and good physical stability.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides the improvement by the subject matter of the independent claims. The dependent claims further develop the idea of the present invention.
In a first aspect, the invention relates to a liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, vegetable oil, fiber, a source of calcium for fortification, alkalized cocoa, and wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy protein, and has a pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, preferably a pH from 6.7 to 7.3.
When milk protein is replaced by plant protein sources in a food or beverage product, this often results in an unpleasant taste, and the composition can be perceived as bitter and/or astringent. This is the case where pea protein is used as an alternative protein for milk protein. Cocoa is traditionally use for making cocoa and chocolate beverages. Due to the bitter and/or astringent taste of cocoa, cocoa and chocolate dairy-based and plant-based beverages are known to have high level of sugar and fat to mask the bitterness of the cocoa. High level of sugar may be detrimental to a healthy diet.
The present invention combines two components: pea and cocoa both with bitter and/or astringent taste but nevertheless provides a pleasant profile and creamy texture. This is achieved with relatively low levels of sugar and fat.
Furthermore, the present invention provides a liquid food product which is stable over a longer period e.g. up 6 months ambient temperature shelf life. This is obtained without any substantially sedimentation which is otherwise a known problem for products containing cocoa.
As used in this specification, the words “comprises”, “comprising”, and similar words, are not to be interpreted in an exclusive or exhaustive sense. In other words, they are intended to mean “including, but not limited to”.
It has been found that the composition of the present invention achieves the objective of the present invention and - in particular - that liquid food composition comprising pea protein isolate, vegetable oil, fiber, a source of calcium for fortification, alkalized cocoa, and wherein the liquid food composition does not comprise dairy protein, and has a pH in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, preferably a pH from 6.7 to 7.3, can be source of protein, high in calcium and high in fiber, low in fat and achieves the objective of the present invention. The composition of the present invention was found to have a surprisingly pleasant taste profile despite the high pea protein, cocoa and fiber content, low fat content and relatively low sugar content.
