摘要:
A stable and non-separable composition comprised of starch and oil can be prepared in the absence of external emulsifying or dispersing agents by thoroughly solubilizing an aqueous dispersion of the starch at elevated temperatures and incorporating the oil into the non-retrograded starch under conditions of high turbulence. The resulting dispersions form soft gels that can be easily converted to pourable fluids by the application of heat. Upon drying, these dispersions yield solid compositions that are easily redispersed in water to form smooth, stable dispersions that are nongreasy, yet slippery to the touch. These compositions are useful as thickening agents, suspending agents, fat substitutes, and seed coatings. They are receptive to the addition of a variety of water-immiscible materials, such as volatile and essential oils, food flavorants, medicinals, agricultural chemicals, and the like.

A ready-to-freeze, packaged alcoholic beverage having a pH of about 3.0 - about 5.0 includes an alcohol, sugar, a flavouring, water, a stabilizer blend of a locust bean gum, guar gum and, optionally, pectin, and other ingredients. The beverage is shelf-stable and can be frozen in a freezer to produce a frozen or semi-frozen, slushy cocktail which retains its consistency for a prolonged time period. Also disclosed is a container for packaging the beverage.
摘要:
Fat mixtures containing at least about 24%, more preferably at least about 34%, triglycerides bearing short, medium, and long residues are prepared. Many embodiments contain at least about 50%, and some at least about 75% to 90%, of these triglycerides, and have an acyl carbon number of 26 to 36. Especially preferred short substituents are derived from acetic acid, butyric acid, and mixtures of these with each other and with propionic acid. Especially preferred medium substituents have at least about 90% of the residues derived from capric acid, caprylic acid, and mixtures of these. Especially preferred long substituents contain at least about 70%, and many have at least about 85%, stearic acid or behenic acid residues or mixtures of these. One embodiment has an acyl carbon number of 28 to 32 and the long residues are predominantly stearic acid residues. Another embodiment has an acyl carbon number of 32 to 36 and the long residues are predominantly behenic acid residues. These fats may be prepared by interesterifying a mixture of triglycerides bearing short residues and triglycerides bearing medium residues with triglycerides bearing long residues and steam deodorizing the product at relatively high temperatures. The steam deodorized product can be further enriched with triglyceride species bearing short, medium, and long residues using molecular distillation.

A fat substitute is disclosed which comprises water-dispersible macrocolloid particles composed of carbohydrate materials which particles have a substantially spheroidal shape and a particle size distribution effective to impart the substantially smooth organoleptic character of an oil-and-water emulsion.
摘要:
A comprehensive nutritional system comprising a base mix and a flavoring. The base mix includes at least one protein containing ingredient and the flavoring includes at least one flavoring agent. The base mix and flavoring are brought together in the presence of a sufficient quantity of water just prior to use. In the preferred form the comprehensive nutritional system is comprised of three protein containing ingredients and also includes lecithin. The flavoring in the preferred form includes at least one flavoring agent, such as a source of chocolate flavor or a vegetable. The invention also includes a method of preparing a food product using the base mix and flavoring.

@ The method consists of mixing intimately together, in the dry state, a set amount of powdered milk with a set amount of one or more carbohydrates selected from a group including glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, matoldex- trines, and maltitol, and of compressing the mixture into a bar. Fluorine and optional flavoring matter, such as cocoa, coffee, strawberry flavor, mint flavor, are added to the mixture prior to its compression. The resulting bars are in the form of square-based parallelepipeds with rounded corners.
