Abstract
The caseinate replacement composition for imitation cheese is made of a granular hydroxypropylated, high amylose starch having a degree of substitution of greater than 0.04, gelatin and a gum such as pectin and carrageenan. The gum is used to decrease the amount of gelatin necessary and to improve the texture of the overall cheese analog. The caseinate replacement composition replaces all or a portion of the caseinate in the imitation cheese.
