One aspect of the invention relates to tomato fibre composition having a dry matter content of at least 1 wt. %, wherein at least 80 wt. % of said dry matter is water-insoluble, said fibre composition comprising, by weight of dry matter: 15-50% cellulose; 5-45% pectin; 0-10% of monosaccharides, said monosaccharides being selected from fructose, glucose and combinations thereof; and 0.003-1% lycopene; wherein the fibre composition contains less than 60% pectin by weight of cellulose. The tomato fibre composition of the present invention has excellent water structuring properties. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a product selected from a foodstuff, a beverage and a nutritional formulation, said method comprising incorporating into said product the aforementioned tomato fibre composition. The invention further provides a process of manufacturing a tomato fibre composition.

A novel composition for delivering carotenoids (e.g. α- and β-carotene, lycopene) and/or other physiologically active ingredients to the colon of humans after ingestion and for producing liquid food compositions insusceptible to polyphenol-protein reactions can be obtained by encapsulating said active ingredients with pectin, in particular with low-methoxylated pectin.
摘要:
A gel comprising water, pectin having a DE from about 62 to 75, soluble saccharide or sugar alcohol solids present in an amount from about 44 to 60% by weight of the gel, and a pH reducing agent for reducing the pH of the gel from a level from about 2 to 3. A method for making the gel without heating or cooling is also disclosed.

A method of producing a frozen microwaveable, coated food product, involves providing pieces of mozzarella cheese, the pieces having a maximum dimension of 1 cm, mixing the pieces of cheese with a stabilizing composition, mixing to form a homogenous cheese dough, forming the dough into portions, freezing the portions and maintaining the frozen portions for at least eight hours, applying a pre-coating to the frozen portions to produce pre-coated portions, applying a batter coating to the pre-coated portions to produce batter coated portions, applying one or more layers of crumb to the batter coated portions to provide a crumb coated portion, frying the crumb coated portions to produce fried portions, and cryogenically freezing the fried portions.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition of dietary fiber supplements for satiety enhancement and appetite suppression in treatment of overweight, obesity, or eating disorders. The composition of the dietary fiber supplements consist of at least one cationic polymer and at least one anionic polymer. The cationic polymers and the anionic polymers in the composition can be dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous solution. When the pH of the aqueous solution is lowered, such as the solution is ingested into the stomach with a gastric pH environment or the aqueous solution is added with some acidifying agents, the aqueous solution will turn into a gel. The formation of a gel from the aqueous solution after it being ingested into the stomach before a meal would provide a satiety enhancement and appetite suppression effect.

Embodiments of the present application relate to mildly acidic milk drinks and methods for preparation of mildly acidic milk drinks having a pH between about 4.7 and about 5.4. The acidic milk drinks generally include a milk product and a low ester pectin (LM-pectin). The milk product may be present in an amount sufficient to provide milk solids non-fats (MSNF) content in an amount of less than or equal to about 8.5% by weight of the acidified milk drink. The LM-pectin may have a degree of esterification (DE) in the range of about 25% to about 45% and a degree of amidation in the range of about 10% to about 20%.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a food concentrate in the form of a gel for use in stock, soup, sauce, gravy or as a seasoning ingredient for use in cooking and the process for preparing such a food concentrate gel. The concentrate is free or substantially free of syneresis and does not skin or re-gel when completely cold, after it has been diluted in aqueous liquid in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:100 under the application of heat and subsequently been allowed to cool. Gelation is induced by the addition of a sodium source to an aqueous solution of low methoxy pectin.
摘要:
A dietary supplement for regulating the appetite of an individual is described. The dietary supplement comprises at least one mechanical satiety regulator, and at least one chemical satiety inducer, and may additionally comprise at least one thermogen, and/or at least one side effect remover. The dietary supplement induces satiety based on a combination of occupying part of the volume of the stomach, inducing sending signals to the brain in respect of satiety. Furthermore the dietary supplement may maintain or increase metabolism and reduce side effects such as the amount of produced flatulence. The dietary supplement may comprise fibre, whey, plant parts from plants e.g. of the genus Capsicum and plant parts from a species e.g. of the genus Mentha.
