摘要:
Injection molded starch-based chew products are provided which are tough, non-brittle, non-slimy, quick to hydrate, low calorie and high in total dietary fiber. The starch-based chew products are formulated from a combination of resistant starch and pregelatinized starch or pre-cooked flour along with plasticizer, water, lubricants and other optional ingredients.
摘要:
A pet treat with a rough surface texture and appearance is produced from a matrix binder and at least one granular filler having a particle size between 0.1 mm to 6 mm. The matrix binder may be selected from gelatinized starches, gelatinized flours, wheat gluten, soy protein, casein, caseinates, gelatin, hydrocolloids, gums and mixtures thereof. The granular filler may be selected from mill feeds, whole grains, distillers dried grains, pork grind, bird seed and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
Starch-polyester blends are disclosed herein. The composite formulations have improved thermotolerance and workability, relative to polyesters used alone, so that they may be molded into disposable items for heat related applications. For example, composite products may include cutlery, cups, plates, bowls, packaging and the like.
摘要:
Composite materials containing non-plasticized, non-gelatinized starch, a compatibilizer and a synthetic resin, such as polyethylene and/or polypropylene, may be used to make wood replacement products for use as construction materials.
摘要:
An extrusion-based injection molding system is designed for use in food processing applications. Interior surfaces, such as the barrel exit line and/or fill line, of the system may be coated with a friction-reducing agent.

摘要:
Shelf stabilizing agents including hydrolyzed protein, hydrolyzed protein derivatives, and hydrolyzed protein-emulsifier complexes improve the shelf life of a pelletized grain protein-based resin formulation. The pellets may be prepared well in advance of further processing, such as by injection molding and extrusion, which provides shaped articles of the edible or biodegradable variety.
摘要:
A method of forming solid gluten-based pet chew is provided wherein a gluten mixture is heated to a maximum temperature of up to about 80° C. to create a substantially homogeneous and flowable mixture under extrusion processing conditions. The formulation includes from about 40-90% by weight of grain protein, from about 10-40% by weight plasticizer, and at least about 0.01 by weight of a reducing agent such as sodium bisulfite for cleaving disulfide bonds present in the grain protein. Dental health agents including an acidulent and a chelator are added to promote good dental health. Optional ingredients such as fillers, fiber, lubricant/mold release agents and colorants can also be used. The formulations can be processed in extrusion or injection molding equipment.
摘要:
Process equipment for the separation of gluten from wheat starch including gluten process equipment configured to process gluten after the gluten is initially separated from A starch, the gluten processing equipment having a dewatering press configured to dewater gluten and modified gluten process equipment including at least one component selected from the group consisting of a high pressure water wash system located upstream of the dewatering press, a kneader located upstream of the dewatering press, a homogenizer located upstream of the dewatering press, a dispersion tank configured to precipitate fines downstream of the dewatering press, a solids-ejecting centrifuge downstream, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
Interacted starch products made up of resistant starch and hydrocolloid are provided which exhibit at least about 20% resistance to α-amylase digestion. The products are prepared by mixing together quantities of resistant starch and hydrocolloid in water with mixing and optional heating, followed by drying. Foods containing the interacted starch products are also disclosed.
