Plant proteins can be whipped at ambient temperatures to create stable, airy foams suitable for modernist vegan plating.
Origin: Modernist vegan chefs (21st century) — Global
See full technique reference →Whipping introduces air into a protein dispersion, causing the proteins to unfold and form a viscoelastic film around bubbles. Emulsifiers such as lecithin or carrageenan lower surface tension, while sugars increase continuous phase viscosity, both enhancing foam stability. Maintaining temperatures below 40 °C preserves protein structure and prevents collapse.
