摘要:
Food products having soft or liquid centers, layers or other areas are formulated by arranging two fat-containing components contiguous with one another. A fat in the first component migrates into the second, forming a mixture having a lower solids content than the second fat, while the structural integrity of the first component is maintained. The process is especially adapted to the formation of soft- and liquid-centered confections. One preferred embodiment employs fats bearing long, saturated C16 to C22 fatty acid residues and a mixture of short C2 to C4 acid residues, preferably containing acetic acid residues, as the migrating fat in a confectionery coating, and hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel oil as the fat in the confectionery center. An especially preferred embodiment employs, as the migrating fat, triglycerides bearing long, saturated substitutents containing at least about 75% stearic acid residues and short residues derived from acetic acid, a mixture of acetic and propionic acid, or a mixture of acetic and butyric acid. Since sucrose and invertase are not essential elements of the center, artificial sweeteners can be used to replace all or part of the sucrose, resulting in reduced calorie confections. Caloric reduction is further enhanced because preferred migrating fats are low in calories.
摘要:
A composition comprising: (A) a coprecipitate consisting essentially of: (a) a galactomannan, with (b) a glucomannan; and (B) optionally, a gelling agent admixed with the formed coprecipitate. The inventive compositions are useful as the base for food products such as: a gelled or thickened food, a pourable salad dressing; a liquid food or food additive, a food spread such as a margarine or cheese spread, a water dessert gel, a mayonnaise, a frozen dessert, and the like.
摘要:
The physical properties of diacetin fats such as diacetopalmitin, diacetostearin, and diacetoarachidin, diacetobehenin are modulated by mixing them with about 10% to about 16% crystal modifier fats that are triglycerides bearing one short C2 to C4 acid residue and two long, saturated C16 to C22 fatty acid residues per molecule. The modified diacetin fats, which exhibit improved snap, gloss, hardness, bloom resistance, and mold release, are suitable for use in edible coatings, especially confectionery coatings.
摘要:
Doughs and batters are prepared which contain hydrated polysaccharide hydrocolloid hydrated insoluble fiber and hydrated protein preferably at a weight ratio of 1:0.8-6:1.1-4.5. The hydrated materials are added to the dough or batter formulation as an aqueous dispersion. The resulting dough and batter can be baked in a conventional manner. This invention is particularly useful in the preparation of fat-free baked goods.
摘要:
Polyhydroxyalkanoates are combined with fat soluble flavors to provide a flavor delivery system for low-fat and no-fat foods. The polyhydroxyalkanoates preferably have a porous structure.
摘要:
A reduced calorie dairy mix for use in frozen dairy desserts and yoghurt is made from milk and/or milk products that have been treated with a lactase/beta-galactosidose enzyme which hydrolyzes lactose to glucose and galactose. This increases sweetness, reduces lactose crystallization problems and creates a greater freezing point depression. Aspartame or other high potency sweeteners may be added without the need for additional bulking agents and/or bulk sweeteners.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of kiwifruit products is disclosed in which kiwifruit is pulped and then treated to yield a number of component fractions. The fractions comprise a chlorophyll containing fraction, a juice fraction, and a residual pulp fraction. The juice fraction may be extracted to yield an aroma-containing fraction and aroma-free, chlorophyll-free juice fraction. The residual pulp fraction is subjected to a preservative treatment such as pasteurization and drying. Kiwifruit products may then be formed by combining the chlorophyll containing fraction with and as required, the juice fraction and/or the residual pulp fraction. The aroma-containing fraction and aroma-free fraction may be used in place of the juice fraction. These kiwifruit products may be incorporated into processed foods such as ice creams, sorbets and juice drinks.
摘要:
Methods are provided for the delivery of fat soluble flavor compounds into nonfat and low-fat food products in which fat components have been replaced by non-lipid fat substitutes. A flavor delivery system comprising fat globules into which elevated levels of fat soluble flavor compounds have been loaded is incorporated into nonfat and low-fat food products in order that fat soluble flavor compounds are released in a more natural and familiar sequence.
摘要:
A frozen beverage dispensing machine (100) includes a barrel (122). A liquid side (132) of an expansion tank (134) is connected to the barrel (122). A gas side (136) of the expansion tank (134) is separated from the liquid side (132) by a bladder (138). A controller (400) is configured to receive liquid pressure measurements from a liquid pressure transducer (152) and is configured to initiate a fill process to provide a flow of liquid through the liquid side of the expansion tank (134) into the barrel (122) in response to the liquid pressure measurements falling below a liquid cut in pressure value. The controller (400) is configured to initiate a gas pressure adjustment process when the liquid pressure measurements are less than a target gas side pressure.
