The present invention relates to a method of treating a composition comprising metal ion lactoferrin and in particular to a method of pressure treating a composition comprising metal ion lactoferrin to prevent the growth of at least one unwanted microorganism while retaining a desired level of metal ion binding.
Abstract:
This disclosure is about making pastry without flour by combining sugar, a zero calories, zero glycemia, cellulosic dietary fiber gel called Z-Trim, water and mixing the three together to substitute for ordinary flour. It thus is formed into a batter that takes the place of a complex carbohydrate, or flour, which is a solid so cannot be a batter by itself. Any sugar can accomplish this but sucrose is the prime embodiment, however erythritol is a sugar alcohol of virtually zero calories, zero glycemia, so merits special attention. Protein powder including the isolates of soy and whey is also included but it is inferior to Z-Trim.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hot liquid fiber product that may advantageously be used in the treatment or prevention of a diet responsive condition. The process according to the invention comprises admixing: a. a serving of a reconstitutable composition comprising (i) between 0.1 gram and 75 grams fiber; and (ii) and effervescent system; and b. a liquid with a temperature that exceeds 35°.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, fat and caloric content of sauces can be reduced by the replacement of a portion fat content normally found in sauces with an equal amount of dietary fiber. The result is that fat and caloric content of sauces can be manipulated with minimal effect on taste and texture. Furthermore, the sauces can further comprise functional foods that increase health and nutritional benefits of the sauces. The functional foods can be added individually, and in any combination thereof. Hence, in addition to reducing fat and caloric content of sauces by replacing a portion of fat with dietary fiber gel, additional health benefits can be achieved with compositions that include functional foods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a fat replacement to be used in food compositions, in particular meat containing food compositions, comprising a step where a vegetable fiber is heat treated in order to de-activate pectin methylesterase, and prevent the de-esterification of pectins in the vegetable fiber maintaining the methoxyl pectin therein, having a degree of esterification of at least 50%.
Abstract:
A savory, shelf-stable, particulate, meltable, food-grade plasticized composition is disclosed, having a water activity Aw of 0.70 or below. The composition is an oil-in-water emulsion of: a protein that forms a thermally reversible meltable gel, plasticizer components to solubilize the protein, comprising a polyol plasticizer and a non-polyol plasticizer, a level of an edible oil component sufficient to provide proper texture, mouthfeel, and melt characteristics to the plasticized composition, and a savory flavoring component, and typically comprises 10–30 wt-% protein, 15–50 wt-% plasticizer component, including, based upon the total weight of the composition, 10–40 wt-% polyol plasticizer and 3–15 wt-% non-polyol plasticizer, 10–40 wt-% oil component, 5–25 wt-% moisture, and 10–40 wt-% flavor characterizing component.
