摘要:
A shelf stable fried product and a process for creating a shelf stable fried product is disclosed. Aspects include a process for managing fat migration, moisture migration, and cell degrading of a food product during frying. Aspects further include a resulting shelf stable food product that includes a crispy and/or crunchy texture and a desirable fat distribution.

A welding ground detection system and method are provided. In one embodiment, a switch actuator is interconnected to a grounding device and operatively associated with a switch. The switch is electrically connected to an electrical circuit that is operatively associated with the welding equipment. The switch is normally in an open state in which the switch opens the electrical circuit, thereby preventing welding. Upon connection of the grounding device to a workpiece, the switch actuator actuates the switch to a closed state, thereby permitting welding. In one embodiment, detection of a voltage, a current, a resistance, or an impedance of a ground connection is not required to actuate the switch.

The invention relates to methods for stably integrating a desired polynucleotide into a plant genome, comprising transforming plant material with a first vector comprising nucleotide sequences encoding TAL proteins designed to recognize a target sequence; transforming the plant material with a second vector comprising (i) a marker gene that is not operably linked to a promoter (“promoter-free marker cassette”) and which comprises a sequence homologous to the target sequence; and (ii) a desired polynucleotide; and identifying transformed plant material in which the desired polynucleotide is stably integrated.

A process for the application of a predetermined amount of oil to food pieces comprises: (a) providing or receiving a plurality of cut or shaped food pieces; (b) applying an oil-water emulsion to the food pieces for a time sufficient to provide a predetermined amount of oil to the food pieces and so that the food pieces have an initial moisture level after applying the oil-water emulsion; and (c) reducing the initial moisture level, in the absence of frying in oil, to a moisture level of from about 0.2 to about 80% by weight to provide a cooked food product, comprising said predetermined amount of oil, wherein step (c) does not comprises frying the food pieces in hot oil.

The present invention relates to a potato derived flavour enhancing composition having a dry matter content of at least 3 wt. % and containing per kg of dry matter: •150-900 g of proteinaceous matter; •0-100 g of starch; •0-5 mg of chlorogenic acid; •0-30 mg of glycoalkaloid selected from α-solanine, α-chaconine and combinations thereof; wherein free amino acids represent at least 80 wt. % of the proteinaceous matter, said free amino acids comprising: •a first group of free amino acids selected from asparagine (Asn), aspartate (Asp), glutamate (Glu), glutamine (Gln), pyroglutamate (pGlu) and combinations thereof, said first group of free amino acids representing 45-95 wt. % of the free amino acids; •a second group of free amino acids selected from glycine (Gly), leucine (Leu), lysine (Lys), serine (Ser), isoleucine (Ile) and combinations thereof, said second group of free amino acids representing 1-20 wt. % of the free amino acids; •at least 3.5 wt. % Glu; wherein the first group of free amino acids and the second group of free amino acids are present in a weight ratio of at least 4:1. The flavour enhancing composition according to the present invention is obtained by removing most of the starch and protein naturally present in potato, by additionally removing the bulk of glycoalkaloids (α-solanine, α-chaconine) that are endogenous to potato, and by retaining flavour enhancing components, including glutamate.
摘要:
A dry spice/herb mixture usable for being admixed with a cooked food, preferably potatoes, comprises a plurality of base ingredients including celery seeds, garlic granules, onion powder, paprika, and turmeric. The base ingredients are also combined with sugar which constitutes the major bulk of the dry spice/herb mixture. Flavor enhancers can be used including minced onion, mustard seed, dill weed, parsley flakes and black pepper. The dry spice/herb mixture is preferably combined with real mayonnaise and optionally white vinegar, chilled and then admixed with cooked and chilled potatoes to obtain a final potato salad product.

摘要:
An outer portion of one or more layers of microwave interactive material, which is for becoming hot when exposed to microwave energy, is arranged in a manner that seeks to advantageously control heating, so that the outer portion of the microwave interactive material can safely be adjacent the periphery of a turntable tray. The turntable tray can be heated by the microwave interactive material so that a peak thermally induced stress occurs in the turntable tray at a position proximate the periphery of the tray. The layer(s) of microwave interactive material are configured in a manner so that the peak thermally induced stress is less than a predetermined amount.

The present invention relates to a microencapsulate comprising microcapsules having a diameter of 0.1 μm to 25 μm, said microcapsules comprising: —a core particle having a diameter of 90 nm to 23 μm and containing at least 3% of the active component by weight of said core particle; and—a coating that fully envelops the core particle and containing at least 20 wt. % of a hydrophobic polymer selected from cellulosic ethers, cellulosic esters, zein, shellac, gluten, polylactide, hydrophobic starch derivatives, polyvinyl acetate polymers, polymers or copolymers derived from an acrylic acid ester and/or a methacrylic acid ester and combinations thereof; wherein the core particle contains a release trigger component and/or the coating contains a release trigger component, said release trigger component being selected from: —a water-swellable polymer having a water-uptake capacity at 37° C. and pH 7.0 of less than 20 wt. % and a water-uptake capacity at 37° C. and pH 2.0 of at least 50 wt. %; and—an edible salt having a water solubility at 37° C. and a pH of 7.0 of less than 1 mg/ml and a water solubility at 37° C. and a pH of 2.0 of at least 5 mg/ml; The microencapsulate of the present invention does not release the encapsulated active component when incorporated in water-containing foodstuffs, beverages, nutritional compositions or pharmaceutical compositions. Following ingestion, however, the active component is released rapidly.
