摘要:
A process for removing digestible fat from a crude reaction mixture comprising nondigestible fat and at least one digestible fat selected from the group consisting of digestible fats having fatty acid chains, comprising the steps of: (1) treating the crude reaction mixture with an aqueous solution comprising lipase at a pH sufficient to obtain soaps from the fatty acid chains; and (2) removing the soaps.
摘要:
Disclosed are improved food preparation compositions. The compositions can include an anti-stick agent, a flavor enhancing agent, and an anti-foam agent. The compositions can be used in relatively low levels when preparing food, yet provide improved flavor, texture and aroma compared to results achieved using greater amounts of conventional food preparation compositions.
摘要:
Polyol polyesters useful as nondigestible fat substitutes are prepared by improved heterogeneous interesterification processes between fatty acid esters of easily removable alcohol and polyol characterized by having one or more improvements such as using low levels of soap emulsifying agent, catalyst, and/or excess fatty acid ester; reducing the size of the polyol by mechanical means; removing extraneous particulate material during the reaction; using low temperature and/or high pressure and compensating by increasing the mass transfer area; and/or using backmixing in the initial stage(s) and plug-flow conditions in the final stage(s).
摘要:
A process for preparing esterified polyol fatty acid polyesters is provided, where the polyol has n hydroxyl groups. The process provides for independent control of the level of fully esterified polyols, on the one hand, and the level of n-3 and lower esters, on the other hand. The process is especially suited for preparing sucrose polyester, wherein the process provides for independent control of the level of octaesters, on the one hand, and penta and lower level esters, on the other hand. The process can be used to reduce the level of undesirable reaction byproducts, such as difatty ketone and beta ketoester.
摘要:
A method for the reduction of acrylamide in corn-based food products, corn-based food products having reduced levels of acrylamide, and an article of commerce. In one aspect, the method comprises reducing the level of asparagine in a corn-based food material before final heating (e.g., cooking). In another aspect, the method comprises adding to a corn-based food material an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing the amide group of free asparagine. In yet another aspect, an article of commerce communicates to the consumer that a corn-based food product has reduced or low levels of acrylamide or asparagine.

摘要:
Processes for the preparation of polyol fatty acid polyesters comprise heating a mixture of polyol, fatty acid ester, emulsifying agent and catalyst. In one embodiment, the fatty acid chains of the fatty acid ester have from about 6 to about 14 total carbon atoms and the emulsifying agent comprises a fatty acid soap having fatty acid chains of from about 16 to about 22 total carbon atoms.
