    摘要: Disclosed herein are processing methods for producing a physically modified starch and for producing a physically modified flour and/or starch flour mixture. The starch process comprises adding at least one salt or additive to a starch, adjusting the pH of the starch to alkaline, and dewatering the starch using a filter to obtain filtered solids. The process further comprises drying the filtered solids, spreading a layer of dried filtered solids on a surface, and heating the dried filtered solids while on the surface to a temperature of about 100° C. to 190° C. to obtain the physically modified starch. In an embodiment, the flour and/or starch/flour mixture process comprises preparing a thermally inhibited flours and/or starch/flour mixtures starting with or without additives, pH adjustment, followed by heat treating the flour and/or starch/flour mixtures directly to obtain the physically modified flour and/or starch flour mixture.

    摘要: A method of preparing a non-wood fiber paper strengthening product is disclosed. The method comprises placing an additive in an aqueous alkaline medium, wherein the additive comprises a hydroxycarboxylic acid, and mixing a non-wood fiber material with the placed additive in the aqueous alkaline medium to form a mixture, wherein the non-wood fiber material comprises starch, protein and fiber, wherein the additive, starch, protein, and fiber of the non-wood fiber material, and metal ions of the alkaline medium become physically crosslinked resulting in a non-wood fiber paper strengthening product. In an aspect, the non-wood fiber paper strengthening product is used in making a paper product wherein the paper product has greater strength than the same paper product made with native starch or chemically modified starch instead of the non-wood fiber paper strengthening product.

    摘要: Dysphagia patients face a number of challenges nutritionally because of their difficulty swallowing. Certain foods may be avoided altogether for fear of choking, and liquids are often avoided for fear of aspiration, so that dysphagia patients are at risk for both malnutrition and dehydration. Despite the technology of food administration to patients, there is a need to have a composition that can effectively alleviate patient swallowing difficulty and provide convenient, quick last minute meals for dysphagia patients that delivers nutrition. The invention concerns the use of a composition comprising a homogenized, comminuted pulse product, and at least one selected from the group consisting of a chemically unmodified starch and a hydrocolloid for the treatment of a patient having dysphagia.
