Abstract

The present invention relates to a foamable composition comprising 0.05 to 10 wt % of a plant germ flour, 0.1 to 15 wt % of a thickening agent, 0.1 to 35 wt % of a natural fiber, and water, wherein each wt % is based on the total weight of the composition. The invention further relates to: (a) a foam obtainable from said foamable composition; (b) a method for producing said foamable composition comprising mixing the ingredients with water; (c) the use of said foamable composition or said foam in a food product; and (d) a food product comprising said foamable composition or said foam.

Claims (15)

1 . A foamable composition comprising:

a) 0.8 to 3 wt % carob germ flour or 1.0 to 3.5 wt % wheat germ flour;

b) 0.5 to 10 wt % of a thickening agent;

c) 0.1 to 35 wt % of a natural fiber; and

d) water;

wherein each wt % is based on the total weight of the foamable composition.

2 . The foamable composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a sweetener, a colorant, a flavouring agent, a flavor enhancer, a pH regulator, an acidifying agent, a preservative, a mineral, an antioxidant and a natural organic acid,

wherein the at least one additive comprises 1.0 to 50 wt % of the total weight of the foam able composition.

3 . The foamable composition of claim 1 , wherein the thickening agent is a polysaccharide or a mixture thereof.

4 . The foamable composition of claim 3 , wherein the polysaccharide is xanthan gum, pectin, gellan gum, dextran, pullulan or a mixture thereof.

5 . The foamable composition of claim 1 , wherein the natural fiber is a soluble fiber, an insoluble fiber or a mixture thereof.

6 . The foamable composition of claim 5 , wherein the natural fiber is selected from the group consisting of an edible indigestible soluble and an insoluble carbohydrate polymer, or a mixture thereof.

7 . The foamable composition of claim 1 , further comprising an extract of an edible plant or part of an edible plant, which comprises 0.1 to 50 wt % of the total weight of the foamable composition.

8 . The foamable composition of claim 7 , wherein the extract of an edible plant or part of an edible plant is an extract of a plant selected from the group consisting of a vegetable, a fruit, a herb, a spice, a seed, tea, cocoa and coffee.

9 . The foamable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a food extract, which comprises 0.1 to 50 wt % of the total weight of the foamable composition.
