Abstract:
The present invention provides an edible product comprising 10-99 wt.% of an aqueous phase; 0.1-90 wt.% of an oil phase; 0-40 wt.% of solid or semi-solid particles; and active plant cell wall degrading enzyme. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of the aforementioned edible product for increasing the bioavailability of one or more micronutrients that are comprised in the vegetable and/or fruit components of a salad, said use comprising combining the product and the salad.
Abstract:
Frozen vegetable objects capable of retaining their shape upon heating to room temperature may be prepared using a covalently cross-linked ferulyolated compound such as pectin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of preparing of an edible barrier for water and/or flavour transport, including oil transport in a food product wherein a ferulyolated compound is at least partly oxidized after applying it to the food product. The barrier is especially useful in food products comprising leaking (moisture or flavour or oil) ingredients such as vegetables (tomato, salad), fruit, bread or fish.
Abstract:
An edible barrier suitable for use in food products, comprising a cross-linked biopolymer and a lipid material, said edible barrier having a thickness of about 2 to 1,500 micrometer, effectively reduces migration of moisture and flavour in food products.
