Water- and energy-saving systems and methods for producing lime-cooked masa are described. Such methods generally include adding water to maize kernel in a first predetermined proportion, the maize kernel having endosperm, germ, pericarp, and tip cap components. Using a first conditioner, the maize kernel is conditioned for a first predetermined amount of time to cause moisture absorption to within a first predetermined range. The maize kernel is limed. The maize kernel is cooked, using a cooker, in an environment of steam. After the maize kernel is cooked, water is added to the maize kernel in a second predetermined proportion and, using a second conditioner, the maize kernel is conditioned for a second predetermined amount of time to cause moisture absorption to within a second predetermined range. The maize kernel is milled using one or more mills.

A capsule for receiving a portion of dough for producing a single piece of flat bread includes a first part and a second part sealingly closable for gastight encapsulation of a dough portion in a hollow portion for making a single piece of flat bread. A preferred execution of this capsule comprises a dome-like part with a radially extending circular edge section, which forms a groove along the circumference of an edge. The groove extends with its depth into the direction of the side of the dome-like part. The sealing foil spans over the opening of the dome-like part (80) and the edge section and groove and it is sealingly weldable or gluable onto the edge section for encapsulating a dough portion.

The invention includes a flour tortilla having a low sodium content and to a method for preparing same. The method comprises has the following steps: (i) providing a flour tortilla dough in a portion sufficient to prepare the tortilla; (ii) coating at least part of the surface of the dough with a salty taste enhancer, thus obtaining a coated dough; thereafter (iii) forming the coated dough into a tortilla shape; and thereafter (iv) baking the coated dough. The salty taste enhancer is a sodium salt substitute or the salty taste enhancer is a sodium salt composition having enhanced salty taste, or the salty taste enhancer is a chloride salt of sodium or potassium, applied in an amount of at least 0.05 wt. % based on flour weight.

A tool and method allow cooking a tortilla in a generally flat state, in a shallow amount of oil. A central strip is held out of the oil and isn't fried. Side strips to the central strip are less fried. This produces a taco shell that is flexible at the bottom, allowing a living hinge, while crispy in its main portions. A raising bar and left and right hold-downs comprise described tools.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a wheat flour composition, a dough composition comprising the flour composition and food products comprising the wheat flour composition. It particularly relates to wheat flour composition suitable to prepare flat breads (including Indian style bread known as chapatti), noodles and pasta. The problem of the addition of gum at higher levels, although helpful in improving colour and rheological properties of dough, suffer from a beany odour experienced during preparation of the dough and during consumption of the flat bread. The same problems have been found in noodles where gum has been added to improve rheology, such as fried noodles and pasta. Surprisingly it has been found that a wheat flour composition comprising chick pea flour and guar gum, is easily processed into a dough that is soft and can easily be processed into flat breads, noodles or pasta, and the baked product (flat bread, chapatti, noodle or pasta) that is also soft and yet has acceptable sensory properties.
