摘要:
A method for making a food product with a low acrylamide content having organoleptical properties comparable to traditional food products. Potatoes containing a low reducing sugar concentration are used to make potato flakes. Dextrose is added to the low reducing sugar potato flakes to increase the total reducing sugar concentration.
摘要:
A method for producing a dehydrated potato product and products incorporating the dehydrated potato product. The method includes macerating uncooked whole potatoes to form a slurry. The resultant slurry is then optionally decanted to remove excess liquid. Then the slurry is cooked to form a potato mash. The potato mash is then chilled which provides an opportunity to retrograde the starch as well as reduce the mash cohesiveness. The mash is then dehydrated to form a dehydrated potato product. Throughout various stages of processing, additives can be incorporated to adjust the texture, adhesiveness, taste, color, and shape retention of the final food product. The additives may be incorporated during the slurry phase wherein they are more readily absorbed. Further, additives may also be incorporated which reduce undesirable puffing.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for a method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in thermally processed foods. This invention permits the production of foods having significantly reduced levels of acrylamide. The method relies on the manipulation of various unit operations used in the production of food products, particularly the washing and cooking unit operations. For example, the washing unit operation can be modified to provide a contacting step at an increased time and temperature, and adding components such as calcium chloride and L-cysteine to an aqueous solution used for the contacting. The cooking unit operation can be modified by dividing it into at least a higher-temperature first heating step and a lower-temperature second heating step in order to avoid the high-temperature/low-moisture conditions most favorable for acrylamide formation.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for making low acrylamide food ingredients. When the treated food ingredient powders or flakes made by the present invention are used to make a low moisture, shelf stable food product, the level of acrylamide will be lower than if untreated food ingredient powders or flakes are used. The present invention is directed towards making dehydrated food ingredients from raw foods having relatively high levels of reducing sugars by making a dryable puree. Optionally an acrylamide reducing agent can be added to the puree before drum drying and grinding the dried puree into a powder.

The present invention discloses formulations for sheeted, baked sweet potato chips that have a light, crispy texture similar to a white potato chip. The ingredients are combined with water and oil to make a dough, which is then sheeted and cut into pieces. The pieces are baked to produce sweet potato snack chips.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for reducing the level of acrylamide in a thermally processed food. In one aspect, acrylamide is first formed in a thermally processed food or food ingredient and is subsequently removed from the food or food ingredeint. The acrylamide can be removed by polymerizing the acrylamide, dissolving the acrylamide, and/or causing vaporization of the acrylamide.
