Oat protein solubilization kinetics: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent protein purity and solubility in plant-based extracts lead to poor mouthfeel and batch variability. Controlling the liquid-phase separation parameters ensures consistent functional properties and reduces downstream refining costs.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Oat protein solubilization kinetics?

Protein precipitation in neutral beverages

(15)evidences

High protein concentrations in neutral pH cereal extracts typically lead to sedimentation and loss of clarity. Resolving this instability allows for shelf-stable liquid nutrition without sensory defects.

Poor plant protein solubility

(11)evidences

Plant-based proteins often suffer from phase separation and texture degradation during storage. Preventing these failure modes ensures commercial viability and consumer acceptance of shelf-stable liquid foods.
