Abstract
This invention relates to use of soy protein to replace sodium caseinate or other dairy proteins in imitation dairy compositions. The invention relates to the imitation dairy compositions and methods of making such compositions. The stable, healthful and cost-effective composition is most desirably obtained when soy flour is treated prior to making the composition, either by heat treatment or protease treatment. This invention is especially directed to preparation of dips wherein a substantial amount, and preferably essentially all, dairy protein is replaced with soy protein.
