Disclosed are methods and systems for continuously coating food pieces. The methods include a steps of directing and uncoated food stream through an enrober to apply a first coating to at least a portion of a surface of each food piece to form a coated stream and continuously redirecting a portion of the coated stream back through the enrober along with the stream of uncoated food pieces to apply at least one additional coating to the portion of the coated stream.

A self-supporting flexible film container is disclosed that includes a container base and a flexible film attached to the container base that forms a container wall and defines a packing region within the container. The container wall has at least one support column, such as a tubular support column, integrally formed therein. A method of conforming the container includes providing a web of flexible film, forming tubular support columns in the web of flexible film and forming a container from the web of flexible film containing the support columns. The support columns can be formed by ploughing and forming the web of flexible film.
摘要:
This invention concerns a frozen/chilled dessert and method and apparatus for manufacturing same. The frozen /chilled is capable of high aesthetic appeal and diverse flavors and textures by forming a three dimensional pattern in the surface of a frozen/chilled dessert base material such as ice cream, and a shaded pattern formed thereon using a zol-state substance such as semitransparent sauce material or the like. The frozen/chilled dessert comprises within a cup a frozen/chilled dessert base material layer, on the top surface of which a raised and indented pattern is disposed, and a zol-state substance layer with a flat surface covering the raised and indented pattern in the frozen/chilled dessert base material layer such as ice cream.
摘要:
Naturally-derived compounds having various structures elicit the perception of salty taste or enhance the perception of salty taste of a salt. Food products may include such salty compounds, which may be used to reduce the sodium content, while parting a similar level of saltiness.
摘要:
A shelf stable, confectionary food product having a core and a confectionary coating. The core is formed from dehydrated crumbs, such as dehydrated cake crumbs sweetened with sugar, and a shortening-based matrix comprising shortening and water. When the dehydrated crumbs are combined with the shortening-based matrix, the crumbs rehydrate. The food product has a shelf life at room temperature of more than one month, such as more than 3 months, or more than 6 months, or up to 9 months.
摘要:
A food composition or dough mixture and method. An alginate gel food composition or dough mixture is provided. In some embodiments, the composition includes water, alginate, and a polysaccharide textural modifier. In other embodiments, the composition further includes flour which may be present in reduced amounts compared to conventional dough-based food compositions. The composition is formed by mixing the components to form a dough mixture and contacting the dough mixture in a cation bath.
摘要:
Described are coated food products having a sugar (sucrose) coating, the coating exhibiting desirable levels of sucrose crystallinity and a desired sucrose ratio (total sucrose per total soluble solids), as well as methods or preparing such coated food products and coating.
摘要:
Methods and kits for rapidly detecting and/or quantifying lactic acid bacteria using real time PCR including a first primer, a second primer, and a probe. Each of the primers and the probe are complementary to separate regions of the 16S rRNA gene of lactic acid bacteria. The methods and kits may be used for the detection and/or quantification of lactic acid bacteria in food such as yogurt, to support product labeling, and in salsa.
摘要:
Described are fat compositions (e.g., shortening composition and shortening particles) that are suitable for use in preparing batter or dough products such as biscuits, pizza crusts, pot pie crusts, cinnamon rolls, or dry mixes for same; the fat compositions can be low in trans fatty acids with moderate levels of saturated fatty acids. For example, fat compositions may comprise less than about 2% wt. total trans fatty acids and a total of less than about 70% wt. saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids.
