摘要:
A method of imparting resistance to moisture and texture degradation in a baked dough bread roll made from a dough formulation including a starch-degrading, bacterially derived amylase enzyme, typically in combination with one or more of gluten, gum and egg white solids. The baked dough bread roll product exhibits resistance to moisture and texture degradation during storage at refrigerated temperatures within a hermetically sealed package, gas-flushed environment.

The invention describes refrigerated, frozen or shelf stable, improved baked goods which will substantially retain palatability upon microwave heating. The improvement is accomplished by the incorporation into the baked good dough formulation of an effective amount of a protein modifier which contains free sulfhydryl groups. L-cysteine is a preferred protein-modifier which is incorporated into a dough at a preferred level of 220 ppm (baker's percent). Other protein modifiers may substitute for all or a portion of L-cysteine at a level based on their sulphydryl content.

The invention describes a refrigerated, frozen or shelf stable improved baked good which will substantially retain its palatability upon microwave heating. The improvement is accomplished by the incorporation into the baked good of an effective amount of a chemically-modified starch with the exception of modified starches which are cross-linked only. The chemically-modified starch is preferably a food acceptable acetylated starch, hydroxypropylated starch, succinylated starch, propylated starch or combination. The modified starch is incorporated in an amount sufficient to reduce deteriorization in the palatability of the baked good upon microwave heating, preferably from 5 to 30 baker's percent. The starches are derived from potato, corn, wheat, rice and combinations.

A process for simulating the taste and texture of deep fat fried potatoes has been developed. The process consists of having the potatoes washed, peeled, trimmed, sorted, cut, blanched, or otherwise processed in conventional manner, and thereafter starch coated, oil soaked, par-fried and frozen. This process produces an improved potato product that more closely approximates deep fat fried foods. Most preferably the potato comestible will be reheated on a heat transferring apparatus.

Shelf-stable, intermediate-moisture potatoes are produced by blanching pieces of raw potatoes in a heated infusion solution containing glycerol and sodium chloride, draining and cooling the infused potato pieces and drying the infused potato pieces such that the pieces have a water activity of below 0.85%. In one embodiment, blanching is performed by soaking the pieces in an infusion solution from 1 to 3 minutes at a temperature of at least 200.degree. F. (93.3.degree. C.) where the solution contains at least 5% sodium chloride and at least 10% glycerol.

A baked pizza crust is provided having a water activity in the range of about 0.6-0.85, the baked crust being suitable for use in a refrigerated, ready-to-eat pizza kit. Also provided is a kit for preparing ready-to-eat pizza, the kit including pizza crust, pizza sauce and one or a plurality of pizza toppings which are hermetically sealed from the external atmosphere in a package having a base tray and a top fitted and sealed to the base tray. Preferably, each food item is in a separate compartment sealed from the other food items to substantially retard or prevent flavor, moisture and microbial migration from one food item to another.
摘要:
Process for preparing a high density bread having a relatively strong cell structure which is suitable for making bread crumbs or cubes for use in stuffing mix which comprises preparing a fully developed yeast containing bread dough with an initial mixing to full development, and resting said developed dough. Thereafter dividing, and then baking said dough, during baking the dough being initially subjected to a temperature sufficiently high and for a period of time effective to kill the yeast and prevent substantial oven spring and then continuing baking until the bread dough is fully baked. This process is carried out either without a proofing step or with a minimal proofing step prior to the baking of the dough, the proofing and oven spring being limited so that the density of the resultant baked bread is within the range of about 17 to 36 lbs/cubic foot. The bread is then staled and divided into crumbs or cubes for incorporation into a stuffing mix. The bread crumbs or cubes obtained according to this process have structural strength, an excellent taste, and a density of from about 12 to 22 lbs/cubic foot. The crumbs also hydrate without the formation of a pasty mass and generally retain their individual identity in a stuffing.
