Abstract:
The current invention relates to a composition comprising a) from 20 w/w % to 70 w/w % cereal proteins, b) from 25 w/w % to 70 w/w % maltodextrin, c) from 1 w/w % to 20 w/w % amino acids, and d) from 0 w/w % to 20 w/w % minerals, and e) from 0 w/w % to 45 w/w % fat. The composition is prepared according to a process wherein maltodextrin and cereal proteins are mixed and liquid amino acids are added, followed by drying to appropriate dry substance. The composition can be applied in food and feed applications as milk powder replacer.
Abstract:
A directly compressible starch consisting in an intense white free-flowing powder showing both excellent compression profile and extremely good disintegration properties. This starch is especially designed to be used as a binder in direct compression processes where it yields very hard white tablets at relatively low compression forces. Tablets resulting from the compression of the above mentioned starch disintegrate in an aqueous medium at a very high speed and they additionally exhibit low friability pattern. This free-flowing starch also brings advantages when used as filler and binder in the filling of some hard gelatine capsules especially for these which are filled by pre-compression of the ingredients. This starch is characterized by regular and smooth partially swollen granules which can be either birefringent or non-birefringent. It can be prepared by spray-drying of a partially cooked starch.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to methods for preparing enzymatically hydrolyzed starch for use as a stabilizing agent that include the steps of first gelatinizing a starch and next, hydrolyzing the gelatinized starch with an enzyme having endo-hydrolytic activity. The present invention also pertains to the resulting enzymatically hydrolyzed starch for use as a stabilizing agent within emulsions, beverages, food products and industrial products prepared using the enzymatically hydrolyzed starch.
