Abstract

Abstract Gel and stabilized emulsion each of which is composed of a protein and a fat or oil component and is heat-stable and resistant to separation of the oil or fat component. Also disclosed is a process for producing said gel or stabi­lized emulsion by crosslinking the protein in an emulsion composed of a protein and a fat or oil component with an iridoid compound.
