Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing isomalto-oligosaccharides with elongated chain length. Isomalto-oligosaccharides are directly converted to isomalto-oligosaccharides with elongated chain length in the presence of glucansucrase. Said products can be applied in food, feed, beverages, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products and are particularly useful as slow or non-digestible oligosaccharides, low calorie providers, prebiotics, mineral absorption promoting agents, non-cariogenic agents and/or low glycemic index regulating syrups.
Abstract:
Aqueous gels of starch based products wherein said starch based products are enzymatic hydrolysed, preferably with thermo-stable alpha amylase, and said gels have a bland taste. The current invention relates to a foodstuff selected from the group consisting of pudding, yoghurt, milk dessert, ice cream, imitation cheese, processed cheese preparation, processed meat preparation and beverages and wherein said foodstuff is comprising said aqueous gel. Furthermore, their use in food, feed, pharmaceutical compositions, or cosmetic products is described. The aqueous gels can be applied especially for replacing gelatin, skim milk powder, casein, caseinate, emulsifying protein, xanthan gum and/or carragenan.
Abstract:
Use of a carbohydrate material comprising a glycosidic backbone of which at least 5% consists of α-1,6-D-glucopyranosidic linkages as a food and/or drink ingredient which, when subjected to hydrolysis in the presence of intestinal enzymes, undergoes hydrolysis at a rate which is not greater than 0.8 times the hydrolysis rate of maltose under the same conditions such that low levels of glucose are released over prolonged periods of time. This carbohydrate material is incorporated in food and drink compositions at 15% or more by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
Abstract:
The current invention relates to non-lumping granular cold water swellable starch that when dispersed in water at a temperature of at least 95 ° C develops its full viscosity in less than 30 seconds (at a concentration above 3%) and a process for preparing them. These products can be used in food products, feed products, cosmetics, pharma products, agrochemicals, and industrial applications.
Abstract:
A method of oxidising carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate derivatives having primary alcohol groups comprising contacting a reaction medium containing said carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate derivatives with a nitroxy radical mediator and a peroxidase enzyme, characterised in that the initial reaction medium contains at least 10% by weight carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate derivatives, in that the peroxidase enzyme is an oilseed peroxidase and in that a hydroperoxide and an alkali compound are gradually added to the reaction medium such that its pH is maintained at between 3.5 and 10.0 (pH-Stat); use of said method in a process for producing gluconic acid, glucaric acid and/or D-glucuronolactone.
Abstract:
A method of modifying starch or starch derivatives comprising: introducing a continuos flow of starch substrate, gas and, optionally, one or more reagents, into a reactor, wherein the starch substrate has a moisture content between 0 and 45% by weight, a residence time in the reactor of between 1 and 60 minutes and is heated to between 50 and 220°C, characterized in that the starch substrate and the gas are introduced into the reactor in opposing directions and in that the reactor has a tubular body comprising a rotating shaft upon which is disposed one or a plurality of blades.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a composition for use in bakery products characterised in that it consists of: starch n-octenyl succinate and whey protein, the use of such a composition to replace whole egg in bakery products and bakery products comprising the composition.
