AI Technical Summary
There is a need for vegetarian and vegan foamed compositions that provide good foamability, appropriate density, and stability, particularly for applications like barista coffee, and a need for alternatives to plant-based foams that are optimized for high temperature and acidic pH, while also addressing resource scarcity issues associated with plant-derived ingredients.
The use of yeast oleosomes, optionally with yeast cell wall components and stabilizers, to form foams in an aqueous medium, utilizing mechanical agitation and other methods to incorporate gas, with specific parameters for foamability, density, and stability.
Yeast oleosomes produce foams with high initial volume, stable density, and prolonged stability, suitable for diverse applications, including barista coffee, without relying on animal-derived or plant-based ingredients, and reducing resource consumption.
