摘要:
The present invention provides sugar beet pectin (modified sugar beet pectin) having improved or enhanced emulsifying properties and emulsion stability, compared to natural sugar beet pectin. Also provided is a method for producing the modified sugar beet pectin. The modified sugar beet pectin contains a water-insoluble component, and has a higher molecular weight after high-pressure homogenization than ordinary sugar beet pectin. The water-insoluble component absorbs water to form a hydrogel when the modified sugar beet pectin is dispersed in water at 25°C to a final concentration of 0.1 mass%.
摘要:
This invention provides a method of preparing emulsion compositions particularly emulsion foods, with excellent emulsifying activity, emulsion stability, heat resistance, and texture or mouthfeel. The method can be performed by carrying out a step (1) mixing pectin obtained by heating sugar beet pectin derived from sugar beet in powder form at a temperature of 50 to 150°C at a relative humidity of 20 to 90% for 1 to 48 hours with raw materials for emulsion compositions; and a step (2) emulsifying the mixture obtained in the step (1), or, in place of step (1), (a) homogenizing a modified pectin in alternatively water systems; (b) mixing the water dispersions of the modified pectin obtained in step (a) with raw materials for emulsion compositions; and (c) emulsifying the mixture obtained in step (b). Thus, emulsion compositions can be prepared.
