Provided are methods for producing particle compositions for replicating the texture of dairy milk or of derivates thereof, comprising contacting a plant-based base material comprising protein(s) and carbohydrate(s) with a β-glucanase and/or a deamidase, under conditions sufficient to provide particles having a particle size distribution (PSD) in the range of 0.1 µm to 10 µm, or any subrange thereof, including e.g., 0.1 µm to 5 µm). Also provided are non-dairy food or beverage compositions (e.g., plant-based: milk, half-and-half, cream, heavy cream, fermented product (e.g., yogurt, kefir, etc.), milk powder, whey, cheese, etc.). produced using the methods and the provided particle compositions, and hybrid dairy/non-dairy food or beverage compositions comprising one or more of the provided plant-based particle compositions.
