摘要:
A method is provided for improving flexibility retention of chewing gum which contains gum base, aqueous softener such as corn syrup, sucrose, and a humectant such as sorbitol includes separating the aqueous softener from the humectant by incorporating the aqueous softener in the gum base so as to provide a water-in-oil phase, admixing the sucrose with the water-in-oil phase, and admixing the humectant with the sucrose-water-in-oil phase combination to form a chewing gum. The resulting chewing gum includes the humectant in a water-soluble phase which is substantially isolated from the aqueous softener in the water-in-oil phase.
摘要:
The present invention provides flavored seasoning compositions containing low-salt substitutes that reduce the quantify of common salt used to flavor foods. More specifically, the compositions contain (a) a flavored seasoning mixture comprising flavoring agents, and flow agents, bulking agents, binding agents and/or preservatives, and (b) a salt substitute containing potassium chloride and bitterness inhibitors taurine and 5′-adenosinic acid, 5′-inosinic acid and/or 5′-guanylic acid. Furthermore, the present invention provides foods containing these compositions, methods of using these compositions and methods for preparing them.
摘要:
Natural extracted honey flavor and/or coconut flavor in small amounts are used to enhance the sweetness of intense and artificial sweeteners while simultaneously reducing objectionable aftertaste thereof. These natural flavors, which can also be mixed with other fruit flavors, in amounts below the level at which the flavor itself is recognizable, have been found to increase the intensity level of artificial sweeteners and reduce undesired aftertaste thereof.
摘要:
Food compositions are substantially sugar or fat-free, comprise a texturizing amount of a polyalkylene oxide polymeric composition, and have a texture substantially similar to food compositions containing sugar or fat.
摘要:
An edible sterilized herb composition is provided which is in the form of a puree or paste and is stabilized to retain fresh flavor and color even after prolonged periods of storage and includes one or more herbs, less than about 7.5% by weight salt to stabilize the composition, edible acid to control pH, preferably ascorbic acid tominimize color oxidation, and an edible oil as a lubricant. A method for preparing the above-described shelf-stable herb composition is also provided.
摘要:
Lactose-hydrolyzed whey or whey fractions are used in chewing gum to replace all or a part of the soluble sweetner, emulsifier and plasticizer components of conventional chewing gum formulations. The use of these materials allows the production of softer chewing gums which are not sticky and of athletic chewing gums which promote salivation. The use of the disclosed whey-based materials results in lower costs for chewing gum products, as well as providing a means to utilize the abundant food value of whey.
摘要:
Natural sweeteners are provided which are non-nutritive and therefore non-caloric because the same are not metabolized by the human body. These sweeteners comprise a disaccharide formed of a levo-hexose and a dextro-hexose. The most preferred non-metabolizable disaccharides of the invention are the disaccharide of L-fructose with D-glucose, or the disaccharide of L-glucose with D-fructose. These disaccharides would be known as D, L-sucrose and L, D-sucrose, respectively.
摘要:
A chewing gum is provided which has long-lasting sweetness and good sweat resistance and includes a water-soluble phase formed of aqueous softener, such as sorbitol syrup, and a first sweetener, such as sorbitol or sugar, in particulate form dispersed throughout the aqueous softener, and a relatively water-insoluble phase formed of a plurality of separate and distinct masses suspended in and dispersed throughout the water-soluble phase, each of said masses formed of particles of gum base and particles of a second sweetener, such as mannitol and/or sorbitol or sugar, enveloped by particles of gum base. The first sweetener and aqueous softener provide the initial impact of sweetness while the gum base provides an envelope or protective vehicle for the second sweetener to control and slow down release of the second sweetener, thereby providing extended sweetness after the initial sweetness impact has subsided.A method for preparing the above chewing gum is also provided.
