Abstract:
Methods for the reduction of serum cholesterol levels in a mammal involve the consumption of a grain product having an enhanced soluble fiber content due to hydrolysis of insoluble dietary fibers in the grain product. Desirable approaches for the hydrolysis of grain products are described that result in an increase in the soluble fiber content. Some approaches for grain fiber hydrolysis result in a product with low levels of lysinoalanine. The grain products generally have high fiber grain brans, such as wheat bran. The grains products can be consumed as breakfast cereals. Similarly, flours including the hydrolyzed grain products can be incorporated into baked goods and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel treatment composition for use in treating food products and food intermediates. The treatment composition may be used in single, home use settings as well as commercial applications for larger scale treatment of food products in the course of manufacture. The treatment composition of the present invention uses a primary amine, such as the amino acid lysine or combinations of amino acids and modified derivatives thereof in order to limit the formation of acrylamide in food products and food intermediates without sacrificing taste or other organoleptic properties of the food product.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel uses of cyclodextrins, to reduce acrylamide levels in food products and food intermediates after the food product or food intermediate has been cooked or otherwise treated to make it suitable for human or animal consumption, as well as to enhance the hypocholesterolemic benefit either individually or synergistically with other components.

The present invention relates to a novel treatment composition for use in treating food products and food intermediates. The treatment composition may be used in single, home use settings as well as commercial applications for larger scale treatment of food products in the course of manufacture. The treatment composition of the present invention uses at least one of alpha-cyclodextrin, beta-cyclodextrin, gamma-cyclodextrin or combinations and modified derivatives thereof along with a suitable carrier such as in an aerosol, liquefied mister and the like.
