Abstract:
Provided are methods for reducing levels of cyanogenic glycosides and improving protein content in plants, as well as plants containing reduced levels of cyanogenic glycosides and improved protein content. In one aspect, such methods comprise, and such plants are created via, tissue-specific expression of a storage protein such as hydroxynitrile lyase in the apoplastic space of cells of the roots and tubers of such plants.
Abstract:
The disclosure concerns a method for producing a layered cookie comprising at least one biscuit and a filling, the layered cookie containing 10 wt% to 25 wt% fat and 15 wt% to 40 wt% sugar, wherein the slowly-digestible-starch-over-total-available-starch ratio of the layered cookie is at least 31 wt%, the method including: forming a dough comprising a cereal flour, fat, sugar and at most 8 wt% added water relative to the total weight of the dough; moulding the dough into the shape of a biscuit; baking the biscuit; and assembling the biscuit with a filling to form a layered cookie; wherein the cereal flour comprises refined cereal flour, in an amount of at least 21 wt% over the total weight of the dough, with a water absorption under 55 % as measured by Brabender® Farinograph®.

Abstract:
A method of relatively rapidly and uniformly extracting moisture from an animal chew having an edible composition is provided. Process cycle time and scrap levels may be reduced and the level of uniformity in the animal chew may be improved by including one or more openings selectively sized and positioned in the chew prior to drying.
Abstract:
A gelled food concentrate comprising a salt-sensitive gum, salt in an amount sufficient to keep the salt-sensitive gum in a salted-out state, a salt-stable gelling system in an amount effective to provide a gelled food concentrate, water, which gelled 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°.
Abstract:
An extrusion process for producing a direct expanded food product comprises: (1) providing a feed composition that comprises instant starch, and/or at least one heat sensitive ingredient, such as fiber, protein, vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, choline, flavors or sugars, and (2) extruding the feed composition through an extruder that comprises at least one die. The feed composition comprises sufficient water to plasticize the composition in the extruder, and the barrel temperatures are below about 6O 0 C. The feed composition. The product of the extrusion process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bread composition having improved bread volume comprising by dry weight from 78 to 98% flour and from 2.0 to 22% plant sterol ester and/or plant stanol ester composition in powder form, wherein the plant sterol ester and/or plant stanol ester composition in powder form comprises from 50 to 95% by weight plant sterol ester and/or plant stanol ester and from 5 to 50% by weight carrier. A preferred carrier is maltodextrin and a protein-containing component. The invention also relates to a dough composition and to said plant sterol ester and/or plant stanol ester composition in powder form.
