A creamy product with a lubricious mouthfeel is bake-stable and suitable as a filler or topping for baked goods. In a preferred form, it comprises: at least 30% by weight of a discontinuous fat portion; at least 20% of a continuous aqueous liquid component for providing sweetness and stability, comprising liquid sugar and liquid polyol, wherein the combined weight of liquid sugars and liquid polyols amounts to from 40 to 95% solids by weight of the aqueous liquid component, and the continuous aqueous liquid component preferably contains less than 20% water. An optional suspended solids portion can be employed. The creamy product, wherein the moisture content is from 2 to 10% by weight of the total composition, and the combined amount of the sugar, polyol and other soluble solids comprises from about 25 to 65% of the total product and is sufficient to provide an Aw of less than 0.5 for the total product, can be combined with a bakeable dough and baked.

An improved method is provided for inactivating microorganisms in food products by introducing an edible phenolic compound in a food product and subjecting the resulting food product containing phenolic compound to high pressure conditions. This particular combination of physical and chemical treatments on the food products inactivates undesirable microorganisms in a food product to a significantly greater degree possible than achieved with any one of the treatments by itself, and the combined antimicrobial effect of these different types of treatments is synergistically greater than any additive effect that might be expected from the individual treatments.

A cereal bar and its method of production is provided, in which the cereal bar comprises a pressed mixture including (i) a cereal mixture including ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal pieces and a first binder, (ii) a filler comprising a plurality of discrete agglomerates in which the agglomerates individually comprise a plurality of particles comprising milk protein product joined together with a second binder, and the first binder binds the cereal pieces and the agglomerates together. The cereal bars of the present invention provide nutritional value without sacrificing taste and flavor, as well as possessing a reasonable shelf life during which the texture remains chewy without being sticky, hard, or crumbly.

The invention is directed to a fermented and clarified nisin-containing whey and a method of making that can be used to produce a stabilized food product by adding, for example, to the pack water of fresh mozzarella cheese. The resulting stabilized food product retards or limits below detection levels the growth of toxins from pathogenic bacterial contaminants when the nisin-containing whey is added in amounts between about 10 to about 30% to the food product. The stabilized food product improves the safety of the food by retarding the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and improves the shelf life of the product by retarding the growth of gas forming bacteria such as bacteria from the Leuconostoc species.
摘要:
A forming apparatus is provided for forming a film into a sleeve around a filling tube. The forming apparatus has contact surface geometry that is contacted by the film as it travels thereacross configured to ensure smooth forming of the film into the sleeve. Smooth forming of the film into the sleeve is achieved, in part, by reducing longitudinal tensile forces in the film, by selecting the contact surface geometry to minimize transverse variations in tensile forces in the film, and by having contact edges of the contact surfaces shaped to reduce unnecessary stresses in the film.

The invention is directed to a method of producing a dried pasta from low protein flour and to the dried pasta produced from the low protein flour. Low protein flour and water are blended to produce a pasta dough with a moisture content of about 25 to about 45 percent. The low protein flour has a protein level less than about 10 percent and the pasta dough does not contain significant amounts of a texture enhancing agent. The pasta dough is extruded into a desired pasta shape. The desired pasta shape is dried at a temperature of at least 75°C and a relative humidity of at least about 70 percent for a time sufficient to produce a dried pasta with a finished moisture content of about 8 to about 13 percent. The dried pasta is produced has a textural firmness, after cooking, of about 12 to about 21 kgf (kilograms shear force).
摘要:
An electrodialysis system is used to produce electrodialyzed compositions with altered pH but without objectionable odor and taste. An aqueous solution is contacted with a membrane electrodialysis system and an electrical potential is applied in an amount effective for changing the pH of the aqueous solution by at least about 2.0 and for providing an electrodialyzed composition having a total cation or anion concentration of about 1.0N or less, and individual cation or anion concentration of about 0.6N of less, and a free chlorine content of about 2 ppm or less.
摘要:
Amorphous water-soluble calcium citrate salts having a mole ratio of calcium to citrate of less than 2.5:2, and powdered beverage mixes and liquid compositions fortified with these amorphous water-soluble calcium citrate salts as a calcium source, are provided. Liquid compositions fortified with calcium citrate according to this invention have superior dispersability, solubility, appearance, and storage stability. These liquid compositions are prepared by new methods that provide and preserve a stable amorphous character in the dry powdered product salts. The present invention also is directed to a method of administering such calcium citrate-fortified liquid compositions to increase the dietary calcium intake in individuals.
摘要:
This invention relates to a cheese product and a novel method for preparing a cheese product. More specifically, this invention relates to cream cheese product prepared using an edible fat and polymerized whey protein, as a protein source, obtainable from a whey protein concentrate. A cream cheese product prepared according to the present method exhibits an unexpected increase in firmness and has excellent syneresis properties.
