Abstract:
A shelf-stable ready-to-eat packaged focaccia, is described having appearance and organoleptic qualities comparable to those of a fresh focaccia, which has a relative humidity comprised between 25 and 32%, preferably 27% and water activity (a w ) comprised between 0.85 and 0.92, preferably 0.89, and blind holes on its surface having depth of at least 50% of the thickness of the focaccia. A process for the production of a ready-to-eat shelf-stable packaged focaccia is also described which comprises the steps of: a) preparing a dough for focaccia comprising, by weight based on the total weight of the dough, 40-60% flour, 20-35% water, 7-16% vegetable oils and/or fats and/or fractions thereof, of which 1-6% extra virgin olive oil, 0.5-4% yeast, 0.1-3% salt, 0-15% at least one organoleptically characterising ingredient; 0-0.1 % at least one baking processing aid, 0-0.8% at least one emulsifier and 0-1.5% dietary fibres; b) extrusion of the dough thus prepared thus obtaining a plurality of sheets of extruded raw dough for focaccia, and subsequent lamination of the plurality of sheets of raw dough for focaccia thus obtaining a layer of laminated raw dough for focaccia; c) first leavening of the layer of laminated raw dough for focaccia thus obtained at a temperature comprised between 20 and 30°C; d) shaping of the layer of leavened raw dough for focaccia thus obtained forming a plurality of blind holes on the surface of the dough and filling of the holes with a saline solution; e) second leavening of the raw dough thus obtained at a temperature comprised between 30 and 37°C; f) oiling of the upper surface of the dough thus obtained with filling with the oil of said holes; g) baking of the raw dough thus obtained in an oven at a temperature comprised between 210 and 240°C; and h) packaging of the focaccia thus obtained.
Abstract:
The present method is directed in one embodiment to a non-soluble, substantially white granular salt substitute for dough-based products. In certain embodiments, the dough-based product comprises a filling sealed within a pocket while in other embodiments, the dough-based product is not filled. In certain embodiments, the dough-based product is heated by baking, deep-frying or microwaving. In certain embodiments, the salt substitute of the present invention may be used in place of other large-particulate salts such as kosher salt for use on dough-based products. Certain non-dough-based products such as salted caramel ice cream, confections, as well as products utilizing a reduced-salt blend are also improved using the present invention. In certain embodiments, the salt substitute comprises white tapioca.

Abstract:
This invention provides processes and apparatus for enhancing the nutritional value of food products. Nutrition-enhancing agents are applied or dispensed onto or into food products during their manufacture by food-grade controlled-droplet dispensing heads (or head). In preferred embodiments, the dispensing heads are controlled by a controller, such as a programmed PC-type computer, in dependence on sensor data, such as electromechanical, optical, or image sensor data. The controller and sensors operate so that different food items can have selected nutrition-enhancing agents properly applied or dispensed without waste or overspray. The invention also provides food products which have been enhanced according to the provided processes and apparatus with nutrition-enhancing agents.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a stick-type cake in a straight shape and a process for producing the same. A process for producing a stick-type cake from a string-type dough (10), which contains a cereal flour as the main component and has a string shape, comprising: the baking step (S6) of placing the string-type dough (10), in which multiple half-cuts (15) are formed along the longitudinal direction and which is impregnated with an alkali solution, on a heating face (30); and the cutting step (S7) of cutting the string-type dough (10) thus baked at the cuts (15) to form a stick-type dough (40).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stick-shaped snack comprising a stick-shaped pastry and a coating material coated over the surface of the stick-shaped pastry, the stick-shaped pastry being formed by preparing the string-like dough provided with a plurality of non-through cuts formed therein across the longitudinal direction and impregnated with lye, baking the resulting string-like dough being mounted on a heating surface, and cutting the baked string-like dough at the cuts, the maximum cross-sectional width of each stick-shaped pastry being 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm.
