The present disclosure is related to non-dairy analogs and method of using such products. Certain embodiments are directed to non-dairy analogs where at least a portion of the protein used in the non-dairy analog is a succinylated refined protein. In certain embodiments, these non-dairy analogs improve the stability of the non-dairy analog when used as a substitute for a dairy product in food products including but not limited to yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, coffee creamer, heavy cream, whipping cream, pudding, soft cheese, or hard cheese. In certain embodiments, these non-dairy analogs reduce, substantially reduce or eliminate feathering when the non-dairy analog is added to acidic and/or hot beverages, for example, coffee or tea. |
