摘要:
The present invention relates to starch-hydrocolloid complexes, their preparation and their use in foods. The complexes positively impact the foods into which they are incorporated to give longer-lasting and/or more potent satiety, thereby helping energy management. The invention further relates to the reduction of food intake and/or management of weight by increasing such satiety.

A method is used to separate fractions from a seed. This can be done by: a) Physically breaking down the Chia seed into smaller particles; b) Adding a liquid carrier to the broken Chia seed to form a Chia liquid carrier blend; c) Optionally providing further processing of the Chia liquid carrier blend to further reduce the particle size of the Chia particles d) Optionally centrifuging the Chia liquid carrier blend; e) Optionally forming at least three discernible layers of materials within the centrifuged Chia liquid carrier blend; f) Optionally separating the composition of at least one layer from remaining layers; and g) Optionally combining the separated layers together into a desired combination/ratios h) Drying the separated layers or combined layers into a flowable powder.

The present invention relates to a biscuit comprising guar gum characterized in that said guar gum is a native guar gum with a length between 0.25 and 8 mm, a width between 0.18 and 2 mm and an average length to width ratio between 1.8 and 6. The invention also relates to the use of said biscuit to help control the blood glucose level in healthy subjects or in subjects suffering from insulino-resistance or diabetes and especially type-2 diabetes and/or to actively lower blood LDL-cholesterol concentration or to maintain normal blood cholesterol concentrations for healthy subjects or subjects at risk of cardiovascular disease. The invention also relates to the use of said biscuit to increase the feelings of satiety, and/or to decrease the food intake and/or to contribute to weight management.
摘要:
Reducing the digestion of digestible carbohydrates in a digestible carbohydrate-based material, and reducing the absorption of the digestion product(s) of digestible carbohydrates (that is, simple sugars) within the small intestine. The undigested digestible carbohydrate and the unabsorbed digestion products pass through the small intestines and into the colon, where they are fermented. In effect, the food materials made by practicing the present invention cause a controlled amount of digestible carbohydrate to by-pass the small intestine, resulting in the fermentation of digestible carbohydrates in the colon. The invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to form a reduced digestible carbohydrate food having a protective food film network, which can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate. The present invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to provide a resulting reduced digestible carbohydrate food containing a viscosity-building component that contributes to the formation of a viscous intestinal chyme that can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate and can inhibit adsorption of digestion products of digestible carbohydrates in the small intestine
摘要:
Described is a capsule comprising a plurality of compacted food articles comprising a dehydrated food powder mixed in a fat-based binding system. A method for the production of the capsule is further described.
摘要:
The present invention is related to improved compositions for reducing serum total and/or LDL cholesterol levels. The compositions are combinations of dietary fiber and plant sterol. The compositions are used as such or more advantageously in food products and comprise one or several fibers, preferably β-glucan, in combination with one or several plant sterols and/or stanols in their free and/or esterified forms.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a fluid or semifluid food product, stable over time, containing a ternary mixture of viscosifying and non-viscosifying hydrosoluble fibres, and non-hydrosoluble fibres, and maintaining significant viscosity during digestion.

Methods for providing cooked rice with enhanced levels of fiber, wherein the fiber-containing cooked rice is suitable and especially adapted for use in preparing fiber-containing rice-based cereal products and especially for preparing fiber-containing puffed rice-based cereal products, are provided.
摘要:
Packaged concentrates in jelly form for preparing a bouillon, broth, soup, sauce, gravy or for use as a seasoning, which concentrates comprises 20-80% water, 0.5-60% taste imparting components, 15-40% salt, and a gelling agent comprising xanthan and tara gum.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of blunting the postprandial glycemic response to a meal by feeding an acid controlled induced viscosity fiber system. The first component of the induced viscosity fiber system is anionic soluble fiber. The second component of the induced viscosity fiber system is water-insoluble, acid-soluble multivalent cations. The fiber system will typically be incorporated into a meal replacement nutritional.The present invention also refers to a method of delivering soluble fiber to diabetics and to persons needing to lose weight. Additionally, the invention refers to a method of promoting the feeling of fullness and satiety by feeding a nutritional product containing the induced viscosity fiber system.
