Abstract:
A food concentrate in the form of gel is provided with high amounts of starch without the need for polyols such that after dilution a sufficient viscosity is obtained in the ready-to-eat product.
Abstract:
The principles of the present invention provide compositions and methods for making dual-texture bubble bits that are shelf-stable in ready-to-drink beverages, and provide a bursting and chewy mouth-feel sensation. The method may include combining an outer layer of high "G" alginate with high "M" alginate or pectin, and an inner layer including fruit puree/juice with gum and insoluble calcium salt to simulate the organoleptic properties of fresh bubble tea starch balls.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition comprising glucomannan, carrageenan, xanthan gum and a monovalent or divalent cation salt. The composition is suitable for use in managing weight, combating obesity, combating metabolic syndrome, promoting satiety, reducing appetite, combating diabetes, lowering blood cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, reducing postpranial glycaemia, or increasing insulin sensitivity.
Abstract:
The embodiments relate to fat emulsion structures based on both an aqueous and non-aqueous glycerin component as the primary aqueous component in which the fat emulsion can create a wide range of viscosities that mimic fat structures similar to cream, or all the way to hardened fat structures like Trans Fat. The fat emulsion can be added to a wide group of foods that use a monosaccharide or disaccharide as the basis for its sweetener component, can lower the sugar content of foods, can improve mouth feel while lowering the fat content in high fat foods, can add a balance of dietary fats and fiber to foods, and can add antioxidant content to food products. The fat emulsion also can be used as a taste masking composition to mask the taste of unpalatable active ingredients or unpalatable components that may be added to the emulsion.
Abstract:
The invention provides an extrudable batter for use in providing a shelf-stable, ready-to-eat high-fiber food product. The batter comprises a select amount of a powdered fiber, at least one fat component chosen from an oil and a shortening, the shortening having a solid fat content of about 2 % to about 30 % at ambient temperature, a humectant, a sweetener, a leavening agent and water. The resultant uncooked batter is flourless and gluten-free and is extrudable in a continuous form. The ready-to-eat high -fiber food product produced by such batter contains about 5 grams or more of fiber per serving and substantially maintains, before and after being baked, a desired shape, structure and moisture content.
Abstract:
The invention relates to spreadable meat paste compositions which are improved in their creaminess, a method of making said meat paste compositions and a method of improving the creaminess of meat paste compositions by using Cassia gum.
Abstract:
A semi-solid food concentrate in the form of a gel or a paste comprising a salt- sensitive gum, salt in an amount sufficient to keep the salt-sensitive gum in a salted-out state, a salt-stable structuring material in an amount effective to provide a semi-solid food concentrate, water, which semi-solid food concentrate, after dilution in an aqueous liquid, the aqueous liquid being water, can result in a ready-to-eat end product comprising: from 0.1 to 2.5 wt% of salt and from 0.01 wt% to 3.5 wt% of a salt-sensitive gum. the ready-to-eat end product having a viscosity of higher than 15 mPa.s at 20 C°, and wherein the salt-stable gelling system is not konjac mannan alone.
