摘要:
Methods and systems for making an edible substrate may include depositing an edible material onto a backing material from a slot-coat applicator, a spray applicator or a combination of thereof, to form a substantially planar image-bearing edible substrate suitable for adherence to an edible material. An image may be printed on the edible substrate using one or more printing techniques, including screen printing, offset printing, thermal transfer, ink jet printing, lithographic blanket transfer printing, flexographic printing, letter press rotary relief plate printing, web printing, reel to reel printing and gravure printing.

A nutritional composition is disclosed which comprises synergistic functional carbohydrates for preventing or treating infection by pathogenic bacteria and/or promoting gut flora balance and health. The carbohydrates have a synergistic activity on promoting bifidobacteria in the intestine. Also disclosed are a method of production of the composition; and a method of treatment of infection by pathogenic bacteria and/or promoting gut flora balance and health which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition.

This invention relates to compositions comprising cationic preservatives and anionic hydrocolloids, to methods of preparing them and their application in food microbiological protection. Due to their composition, food products are susceptible to act as a culture medium for microorganisms, and this constitutes a possible risk to human health. Thus, food products require good protection against microbiological contamination. The present invention relates to the interaction between cationic preservatives derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids and anionic hydrocolloids, such as pectins, xanthan gums, carrageenans, acacia gums or agars. The most preferred cationic preservative is the ethyl ester of the lauramide of arginine monohydrochloride (LAE). As a result of this interaction, some anionic hydrocolloids arc able to absorb LAE and precipitate together by the enhancement of their lipophilic properties. These new solid compounds can be isolated by filtration and, surprisingly, retain the microbiological inhibitory activity of LAE. The solid compounds contain approximately stoechiometric amounts of LAE and the anionic hydrocolloid. The preferred solid compound is LAE/xanthan gum. The solid compounds are stable and can be stored under normal conditions of temperature and humidity for long periods of time. The invention relates to the method of preserving food products using the new solid compounds and the food products obtained as a result of the application of the method.

The present invention provides a solid sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) formulation, comprising sucrose acetate isobutyrate in an amount from about 1 weight percent to about 80 weight percent based on the total weight percent of the total solid formulation; and a solid substrate that is soluble in water or oil, wherein the substrate is present in an amount from about 99 weight percent to about 30 weight percent based on the weight of the formulation, wherein the formulation is pourable in less than about 20 seconds according to ASTM method D1895-96. The SAIB formulation is useful in beverage applications.

The present invention concerns nutritional compositions comprising oligosaccharides for controlling inflammatory bowel disease and related disorders, such as diarrhoea and constipation.
摘要:
The invention relates to a moisture and oxygen stable spray-dried composition comprising at least one active compound encapsulated in a carbohydrate matrix, which matrix is characterized by 40 to 80 wt. % high molecular weight film forming carbohydrate; 10 to 30 wt. % mono, di and trisaccharides; and 10 to 30 wt. % maltodextrin, based on the total weight of the carbohydrate matrix. The active compound to be encapsulated in the carbohydrate matrix can be selected from the group consisting of flavourants, fragrances, pharmaceuticals and wash-active components.
摘要:
An edible dry-powder formulation of a film coating for pharmaceuticals and confectionaries using gum acacia as a low-cost film former is provided. A cellulosic polymer such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is used in addition to the gum acacia. A plasticizer such as propylene glycol is also added. The resulting formulation is a dry, free flowing powder that can be put into solution and applied to a tablet or other substrate without an extended waiting period. The resulting film coating is clear, shiny, durable and extremely economical. Because the formulation is a dry powder, it has along shelf life and low shipping costs.
摘要:
A decorating kit including a transfer sheet having printed thereon a substantially non-tacky layer of an edible ink. The ink may be used in a transfer printing process for forming an image layer on a surface of an edible article. The transfer process includes providing a transfer sheet with a substantially non-tacky layer of an edible ink thereon; contacting the layer of edible ink with the surface of the edible article; and removing the transfer sheet such that the ink releases therefrom and forms an image layer on the surface of the edible article.
