摘要： A plurality of dough pieces are produced using a rotary dough cutter including a shaft, a plurality of walls extending radially outward from the shaft and a plurality of interior blades extending radially outward from the shaft. The plurality of walls define a plurality of dough cutter molds. The plurality of dough cutter molds include a first dough cutter mold and a second dough cutter mold. A first wall of the plurality of walls defines part of both the first dough cutter mold and the second dough cutter mold. Each of the plurality of interior blades is located in one of the plurality of dough cutter molds. The plurality of dough pieces are cut from a dough sheet with the plurality of walls. The plurality of dough pieces are scored with the plurality of interior blades. After scoring, the plurality of dough pieces are proofed and then frozen.

摘要： A roller is provided with replaceable shells formed of panels. The roller includes a shaft extending in a longitudinal direction. A center flange and two end flanges are mounted on the shaft and extend radially outward from the shaft at axially spaced locations. Between each end flange and one side of the center flange, a replaceable shell is provided. Preferably, multiple additional center flanges and replaceable shells are mounted on the shaft between the end flanges. An internal pin system is employed to ensure no screws are visible while holding the shell panels in place.

摘要： FIG. 1 is a front, top and left side perspective view of a first embodiment of a cereal food piece with emoji showing our design;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a right side elevational view thereof, the left side elevational view being a mirror image thereof;
FIG. 5 is a top view thereof, the bottom plan view being a mirror image thereof; and,
FIG. 6 is a front, bottom and right side perspective view of a second embodiment of a cereal food piece with emoji, shown in an environment of use.
The less concentrated stippled shading and more concentrated stippled shading areas shown in FIGS. 1-6 represent contrasting appearances. The dot-dash-dot lines in FIGS. 1-5 illustrate the boundary of the invention and form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines in FIG. 6, depicting a bowl with an abundance of cereal food pieces and a spoon supporting a cereal food piece of our design, illustrate environment that form no part of the claimed design.

摘要： A product conveying and coating system includes multiple, sequentially arranged conveyor units, with at least one conveyor unit being an open belt type. A carrier sheet is placed on a first of the conveyor units, a web of coating material in liquid form is deposited on the carrier sheet and spaced ropes of soft and sticky material are deposited on and settle into the web. The carrier sheet, web and ropes are transferred to a second conveyor unit after the coating material of the web solidifies, whereupon the ropes are cut into bar-length pieces. Thereafter, the carrier sheet is removed while the web and pieces are transferred to the open belt conveyor unit and exposed to an enrober. The enrober coats the pieces while melting portions of the web between the pieces in order to form full coated or encapsulated food products with soft and sticky cores.

摘要： A texture-controlled fiber ingredient containing a viscous soluble fiber and a non-crosslinked acid-reversible gel-forming compound is described. The ingredient can be contacted with a divalent cation solution and combined with a food ingredient or edible ingredient suitable for use in a supplement to produce a viscous fiber fortified food or fiber supplement. In some versions of a viscous fiber fortified food or fiber supplement, the viscous soluble fiber remains partially hydrated over shelf life of the food, and maintains a desirable texture over the shelf life. Some versions of a food mix or fiber supplement are in dry form.

摘要： A zero-sugar and zero-net carb dairy product includes a washed fermented dairy material. Separation technology for the removal of sugars and organic acids from a fermented dairy material to produce the zero-sugar and zero-carb dairy product includes the repetition of a wash cycle involving a dilution step and a separation step. The separation technology achieves at least an 60% reduction in total sugars, at least an 80% reduction in organic acids and at least a 60% reduction in total carbohydrates. The zero-sugar and zero-net carb dairy product has a protein to carbohydrate ratio at least double that of conventional low-carb dairy products.

摘要： Described herein is a food that is suitable for use as a shelf stable nut butter based spread. The food has a protein content of at least 25% by weight, and a nut butter content of at least 50% by weight. The food retains a desirable eating experience, similar to a natural nut butter spread or a stabilized nut butter spread despite having a high protein content.
