Abstract:
A seasoning composition suitable for application topically to a snack food, and in particular an uncooked snack food, the seasoning composition comprising a plurality of seasoning-containing granules.
Abstract:
Herein described are nutritional compositions for oral administration of amino acids, having improved palatability and a controlled release profile, useful for the treatment of metabolic diseases responding to administration of selected amino acids, in particular for the treatment of phenylketonuria; a process for the preparation of these nutritional compositions is also described.
Abstract:
A food composition, wherein the surface of the food composition is at least partly covered by a layer, wherein the layer comprises fungus and a water-soluble biopolymer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a coating composition comprising, in relation to 100% of the weight thereof: between 10 and 90 wt. % of at least one film-forming polymer selected from cellulosic polymers or derivatives of cellulosic polymers, derivatives of vinyl alcohol, derivatives of vinyl pyrrolidones, polymers of a natural origin, acrylic or methacrylic derivatives, derivatives of glycol or propylene glycol or combinations of said two substances or the copolymers of vinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol (PEG); between 1 and 50 wt. % of at least one food colouring agent; and between 0 and 50 wt. % of at least one auxiliary coating agent selected from white opacifiers, diluents, surfactants, plasticisers, and anti-foaming agents.
Abstract:
An edible composition comprising starch and cellulose ether particles, wherein the cellulose ether particles have a ratio M 3.0 /M 2.0 of not more than 200 micrometers, wherein M 3.0 is the number volume mean and M 2.0 is the number surface area mean of the cellulose ether particles, and/or wherein the cellulose ether particles have a volume fraction of fibrous particles of no more than 40%, is useful for preparing a batter by mixing the edible composition with water. The batter is contacted with a food to prepare a battered food. The battered foods have a reduced oil and/or fat uptake when fried, as compared to fried non-battered food.
Abstract:
Described herein is an edible coating for food products in which the coatings comprises a polysaccharide cross-linked with a cross-linking agent solution. Also described herein are methods for coating food products and forming clusters of food products. The use of the edible coating for extending the shelf-life of food products is also described.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a gel-stabilized foam for use in food products. Foam bubbles are stabilized by either a continuous gel coating or a particulate gel coating created under high shear conditions. The foam is viscous and shelf-stable, and can be combined with a viscous food product to lower its caloric density and improve its organoleptic properties.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a beverage cartridge for use in a beverage preparation machine, the cartridge being formed from substantially water- impermeable materials and comprising an inlet for the introduction of an aqueous medium into the cartridge and an outlet for discharge of a beverage produced from the aqueous medium and one or more beverage ingredients contained in the cartridge, wherein the one or more beverage ingredients includes one or more discrete edible components which are substantially insoluble in the aqueous medium and which, in use, are dispensed from the cartridge with the beverage.
