The present invention discloses methods for preparing a processed peanut product containing high levels of peanut hearts material, with the peanut heart material being substantially stripped of bitter taste so as to provide debittered peanut hearts of comparable taste to actual peanuts or as being flavorless without adversely affecting the taste of a foodstuff end product. The processed product includes whole or fragmented peanut hearts and peanut heart powder processed using alkaline wash, neutralization, and drying for inactivating enzymes and removing bitter flavoring components. The peanut heart materials are debittered by adjusting the pH to about 8 to about 12 with an alkali material (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to solubilize the protein content and release the bitter flavor compounds making it possible to separate such compounds by ultrafiltration. The alkali treated peanut heart material is neutralized with an acidic aqueous solution.

Soy-containing dough-based and baked product containing deflavored soy protein material are provided. Soy-containing baked products such as pizza crusts, cookies, crackers, and cereals are especially preferred.
摘要:
Soy-containing confectionaries or nutritional compositions (especially nutritional bar) containing deflavored soy protein material are provided. The deflavored soy protein materials may be dispersed through out the preferred nutritional bars or, more preferably, dispersed with chocolate or caramel layers or bits covering or containing within the nutritional bars.

Microwaveable sponge cakes, which when heated in a microwave oven, rise in a manner similar to conventionally-baked sponge cakes. Such sponge cakes are mesophase gel-containing. Moreover, such mesophase-containing sponge cakes, when microwaved, do not only rise as is observed with conventional sponge cakes, but microwave treatment of these sponge cakes results in highly palatable and light sponge cakes, similar to those that are conventionally prepared. The mesophase gels formed herein for use in sponge cake are highly viscous, even in the absence of polymeric protein or polysaccharide thickening or bulking agents. The mesophase gels is formed using two emulsifiers and an aqueous phase. The addition of the mesophase gel to the other sponge cake components results in a leavening action, and contributes to the palatability and lightness of the resulting sponge cake.

Plant sterols have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols, plant stanols, plant sterol esters and other non-toxic sterols are co-crystallized with emulsifiers to form a plant sterol/emulsifier complex or plant stanol/emulsifier complex which can be incorporated into full-fat, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free and triglyceride-free food products. Plant sterols and plant stanols can be co-crystallized with emulsifiers to produce a blend which has a melting temperature significantly lower than the melting temperature of the plant sterol or plant stanol. Such complexes can be used to incorporate relatively high levels of such sterols/stanols in food products without the adverse organoleptic effect normally associated with the use of such plant sterols and plant stanols.
摘要:
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:
This invention relates to simulated nut production. More specifically, it relates to a method for producing a simulated nut, said method including providing a premix by mixing soy bean particles having surfaces, a nut flavoring, and a binder including a saccharide in a wet flowable form wherein the surfaces of the soy bean particles are coated with the binder, and forming the premix into a self-supporting shape that is substantially similar to a natural nut shape. The resulting simulated nut product is healthier due to the substantial soy content used instead of real nutmeat, while replicating authentic nut flavor, crunch, appearance, texture, and the like. The simulated nuts of the present invention can be made at less cost than obtaining real nuts.
摘要:
Methods are provided for making nutrient fortified foods, and particularly methods of fortifying process cheeses with magnesium and the resulting magnesium-fortified process cheese products. These methods allow significant amounts of nutrient supplements, such as minerals and/or vitamins, to be delivered per serving of food product without adversely affecting functionality or product quality. These magnesium-fortified process cheeses also may be produced with increased salty flavor without increased sodium content, or maintain salty flavor at reduced sodium content, without need for potassium salt substitutes. Foods fortified by the disclosed methods retain their desired functionality and sensory properties such as textures, mouthfeel, flavor, and the like.
