Plant-based foods are growing in popularity, but the contribution of fat in these products remains a puzzle. A talk will describe decreasing the concentration of coconut oil in plant-based cheese products while maintaining functional properties to produce a healthier product. A presenter will examine ways to reduce animal-based fats and tropical oils in bakery products by using plant-based biphasic gels (bigels). Also, particle-stabilized water/oil emulsions using cocoa butter crystals increase the volume fraction of water without any surfactant, offering promise for designing healthy, low-fat products where biocompatibility is key.
