    Abstract: A seasoning composition having enhanced salt intensity includes a salt component and a sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound. The saltiness-perception enhancing compound includes at least one of gentisic acid 5-O-β-D xylopyranoside or kukoamine A. The seasoning composition exhibits a mean saltiness intensity that is about the same as a second seasoning compound that has an amount of the salt component that is greater than the salt component in the seasoning composition and that does not contain the saltiness-perception enhancing compound. A seasoned food product may include a food product and the sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound. The sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound may be used in a method of reducing sodium intake and a method of enhancing the salt taste of a food product. The sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound may be derived from Solanum tuberosum.

    Abstract: An expression vector that includes a polynucleotide having a heterologous regulatory element operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence derived from Solanum tuberosum and encoding a xylosyltransferase capable of glycosylating gentisic acid to produce gentisic acid 5-O-β-D xylopyranoside, a transcription template having such a polynucleotide and adapted for in vitro transcription in a cell-free system, a method for producing gentisic acid 5-O-β-D xylopyranoside by culturing a recombinant host cell containing such an expression vector under conditions in which the cell expresses the xylosyltransferase from the polynucleotide, and a method for producing gentisic acid 5-O-β-D xylopyranoside by contacting a composition including gentisic acid and UDP-xylose with a recombinant xylosyltransferase. The recombinant host cell containing such an expression vector can be a bacterial cell, a plant cell, or a fungal cell, an animal cell, or a multicellular organism such as a plant.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a cutting surface that contains at least one cutting element having a top. The cutting element also has an interior sidewall extending from the cutting surface to the top with an interior sidewall angle, an exterior sidewall extending from the cutting surface to the top with an exterior sidewall angle and a shoulder provided on the interior sidewall between the base and the top. The interior sidewall angle is different than the exterior sidewall angle.

    Abstract: A processing aid for an extrudable food composition includes from about 60% to about 99% by weight of at least one edible emulsifier and from about 1% to about 40% by weight of a short chain carboxylic acid. The extrudable food composition may include from about 80% to about 90% by weight of a raw material; from about 1% to about 18% by weight added moisture; from about 0.1% to about 3% of a processing aid, wherein the processing aid includes at least one edible emulsifier and at least one short chain carboxylic acid. The raw material is selected from one or more of corn meal, whole grain corn meal, rice, whole grain flour, rice pea, brown rice, wheat flour, whole wheat flour, pea flour, black bean, pinto bean flour, potato flour, and mixtures thereof.

    Abstract: Disclosed are unique resealable packages for snacks. Some embodiments comprise rigid sidewalls configured to structurally support a flexible bag to maintain the thickness of the bag as it is laid on its back and opened for product consumption. In addition, disclosed packages include a resealable flexible flap having a raised pull tab for use by a consumer to peel open the bag by separating this flap from the front of the bag, and then resealing the bag by laying the flap back over the opening. The rigid sidewalls allow the integrity of the product to be maintained after the bag is resealed so that the product is not crushed if the bag is stored for later use. Edges of the peelable flap are coated with a resealable adhesive, while one side or end of the flap is connected to a portion of the bag's front surface.
