Plant protein emulsion stabilization: UnileverRecent Research Landscape
Standard dairy fats and proteins are absent, leading to poor structural integrity and rapid melting in frozen states. These innovations engineer specific plant-based protein networks to mimic dairy mouthfeel and thermal stability.
What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Plant protein emulsion stabilization?
Poor freeze-thaw stability
(11)evidences
Plant proteins often fail to prevent ice crystal growth and phase separation during temperature fluctuations. Resolving this prevents gritty textures and maintains structural integrity in non-dairy systems.
High solids premix instability
(5)evidences
Concentrated plant-based formulations suffer from phase separation and sedimentation during storage. Preventing these physical failures ensures consistent texture and shelf life for frozen dessert manufacturing.
