摘要:
Beverages and powdered beverage mixes fortified with ferric EDTA as an iron source are provided. The beverages and beverage mixes fortified with ferric EDTA according to this invention have superior iron bioavailability and excellent storage stability. The present invention also is directed to a method of using such ferric EDTA-fortified beverages to prevent or treat iron-deficiency anemia in individuals by administering the iron fortified beverage of the invention in an effective amount to an individual in need thereof.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to metastable mineral-amino acid complexes that are formed by combining a mineral oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate an amino acid and an organic acid. The complexes may be used to fortify a variety of food and beverage products.

A microencapsulated enteric matrix composition and method for manufacture are provided. The microencapsulated enteric composition includes enteric material, such as sodium caseinate and soy protein, and a functional ingredient contained therein in a core. Further, the composition includes a first coating including zein and the second, outer coating including ethylcellulose. The microencapsulated enteric composition may be suitable for use in hot comestibles.
摘要:
Hydrophobic liquids are microencapsulated by an enteric matrix in an environment substantially free of organic solvents, the process including forming an emulsion of the enteric material and hydrophobic liquid in water, the emulsion titrated with an acid to form a particulate precipitate of the microencapsulated hydrophobic liquid in an enteric matrix.

摘要:
A method is provided for removing surface oil form a surface of an encapsulated material without using any type of solvent. The method includes contacting an encapsulated material having a moisture content of about 1 to about 60 weight percent with at least about 5 weight percent of an oil removing material for an amount of time effective for reducing surface oil on the encapsulated material by at least about 80%.
摘要:
Whey protein materials such as whey from cheese making processes, whey protein concentrates, and whey protein isolates, are deflavored by adjusting the pH of an aqueous composition of such whey protein materials to about 8 to about 12 to solubilize the whey proteins and to release the flavoring compounds and thereafter passing the pH-adjusted composition to an ultrafiltration membrane having a molecular weight cutoff up to about 50,000 Daltons under conditions at which the flavoring compounds pass through the membrane, leaving the retained whey protein material with improved flavor.
摘要:
Soy derived materials such as soy milk, soy flour, soy concentrates, and soy protein isolates, are deflavored by adjusting the pH of an aqueous composition of such soy derived materials to about 9 to about 12 to solubilize the soy proteins and to release the flavoring compounds and thereafter passing the pH-adjusted composition to an ultrafiltration membrane having a molecular weight cutoff up to about 50,000 Daltons under conditions at which the flavoring compounds pass through the membrane, leaving the retained soy material with improved flavor.
摘要:
Methods are provided for preparing soy-containing confectionary products without the off-flavors and odors normally associated with soybeans which does not require the use of deflavored soy material. More specifically, a composition comprising a soy-containing material (which is not required to be deflavored), sugar, fat, and water is heated to a high temperature for a time sufficient to achieve at least partial carmelization of the sugar and then the at least partially caramelized composition is cooled to obtain the soy-containing confectionary product.
摘要:
This disclosure relates to egg yolk compositions with improved functionality as well as methods of preparing such egg yolk compositions. Such egg yolk compositions confer improved functionality to the food products into which they are incorporated. The egg yolk compositions are prepared by a process comprising: (1) forming an aqueous egg yolk mixture; (2) adding an alkaline material to the aqueous egg yolk mixture in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the aqueous egg yolk mixture to about 7.5 or above; (3) heating the pH-adjusted aqueous egg yolk mixture to about 40 to about 80° C. for a period of about 30 minutes or longer; (4) cooling the heat treated aqueous egg yolk mixture to or close to ambient temperatures; and (5) added an acidic material to the cooled aqueous egg yolk mixture to adjust the cooled aqueous egg yolk mixture to a neutral pH, thereby forming the aqueous egg yolk composition; wherein the aqueous egg yolk composition can be used in food compositions to impart improved egg yolk functionality. The use of the compositions and methods of the disclosure lead to the use of less egg yolk, oil, and/or other ingredients in the food compositions described herein, thereby reducing the cost of producing large quantities of such food products. Such reductions in cost could be translated to the general public, and thereby serve the consumer.
