Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Rösten und zur Oberflächen-Pasteurisation von partikularen Lebensmittelprodukten. Das Rösten und die Oberflächen-Pasteurisation können kombiniert und zu einem Verfahren vereinigt werden, wenn nach der Erfindung vorgesehen wird, dass eine Behandlung in feuchter Atmosphäre bei Temperaturen > 100°C durchgeführt wird, dass die Pasteurisationsbehandlung in einem Röstsystem während des Röstvorganges durchgeführt wird, dass während der Pasteurisationsphase die Temperatur der Produktoberfläche wenige Grade unterhalb der Taupunkttemperatur der eingestellten Atmosphäre gehalten wird, dass die Pasteurisation während 1 - 30 min. vorgenommen wird und dass mit fortschreitender oder weitergeführter Röstung das Kondenswasser auf der Oberfläche der Lebensmittelprodukte entfernt und die Wasseraufnahme derselben minimiert werden.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a solution containing at least one endopeptidase to substantially reduce or completely eliminate allergenic proteins contained in the peanut ( Arachis hypogea ). In particular, the direct application of a solution containing at least one endopeptidase to either raw, blanched, or roasted peanuts or peanut products or derivates, has been shown to substantially reduce or completely eliminate the activity of allergenic proteins. The treated peanuts showed no degradation in quality or sensory acceptability, and have the flavor and aroma of natural whole peanuts. Hypoallergenic or non-allergenic peanuts produced in accordance with the present invention may be used as ingredients in various food products and other edible materials.
Abstract:
Edible products useful in improving health and preparation of same are disclosed. The products include a fruit seed component impregnated with at least one dried fruit component, preferably a fermented fruit component. Preparation is by combining a fruit seed component with a liquid fruit fermentation component to produce a slurry which is dried to produce the edible product which is the fruit seed component impregnated with a dried fruit component, preferably a fermented fruit component. Administering a physiologically effective amount of the edible product to a subject constitutes a method of improving health of the subject.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for preparing a coated food product comprising: (a) coating the food product in a first step with a layer of a first liquid mixture comprising a seasoning and an oil or fat; (b) coating the coated food product obtained in step (a) in a second step with a layer of a second liquid mixture comprising from a binder, cobinder; and water; wherein the weight ratio in the second liquid mixture of binder to cobinder is of from 5:1 to more than 1:1; and (c) drying the coated food product obtained in step (b). Coated product obtainable thereof are also herein provided. This method is particularly beneficial for products with large and/or heavy seasonings.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for coating edible particles (30), in a rotary chamber (4) which consists in: contacting the particles (30) with a coating solution, then, contacting the particles with drying air. The drying air comprises at least 3.8 g of water per kilogram of air.
Abstract:
The invention provides a roasting process for the preparation of fruit or nuts such as almonds, cashew nuts, pecan nuts, peanuts and the like. This process is characterized by the addition of oil to said fruit or nuts prior to the roasting stage. The invention also provides an equipment for applying this process, which essentially comprises feeding means (1) for the fruit or nuts to be roasted and conveying means (2) for carrying said fruit towards roasting means (3), said equipment being characterized in that it also includes oil and salt dispensing means (6, 7) at the inlet of the roasting means.
Abstract:
Disclosed is the preparation of fruit and nut mixes with improved texture stability. Such mixes contain from about 15 % to about 60 % fruit and from about 40 % to about 85 % nuts wherein at least about 20 % of the nuts are roasted and at least about 20 % of the nuts have a crystalline sugar coating. The fruit for use in the mix has an initial water activity of from about 0.35 to about 0.70 and an initial moisture content of from about 7 % to about 18 % water. The roasted nuts for use in the mix have an initial water activity of from about 0.05 to about 0.40 and an initial moisture content of up to about 3 % water. Once the fruits and nuts are combined, they are allowed to equilibrate in a moisture impervious environment to an equilibrium water activity of from about 0.35 to about 0.58 and a percent moisture to equilibrium water activity ratio of the fruit of from about 17:1 to about 32:1.
Abstract:
A coating composition for foodstuffs, in particular a microwavable coating composition comprising an aqueous mixture of syrup and starch which when applied to a foodstuff, such as crumbs, cereals, nuts, or the like, helps to prevent the movement of water, or oils and fats, either into or out of the coated foodstuff. The invention also relates to a process for coating foodstuffs using the coating composition, and to the coated foodstuff.
Abstract:
A method of coating substrates such as pharmaceutical tablets, food and confectionery forms, agricultural seeds and the like, with a protective film comprises the steps of mixing a cellulosic polymer, maltodextrin, and a plasticizer into water to form an aqueous coating suspension, spraying an effective amount of said coating suspension onto said substrates to form a film coating on said substrates, and drying the film coating on said substrates. Optionally, a detackifier, a secondary film former, a flow aid, and/or a colorant may be dispersed into the coating suspension before applying the coating suspension to the substrates. A dry powder edible film coating composition for use in pharmaceuticals, food and confectionery forms, agricultural seeds, and the like, comprises a dry mixture of a cellulosic polymer, maltodextrin, and a plasticizer. Optionally, the dry coating composition may include a detackifier, a secondary film former, a flow aid, and/or a colorant.
