Abstract:
A semi-solid food concentrate in the form of a gel or a paste comprising a salt- sensitive gum, salt in an amount sufficient to keep the salt-sensitive gum in a salted-out state, a salt-stable structuring material in an amount effective to provide a semi-solid food concentrate, water, which semi-solid 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°, and wherein the salt-stable gelling system is not konjac mannan alone.
Abstract:
A packaged food concentrate in the form of a gel comprising, based on the weight of the total food concentrate without the packaging: from 2 wt% to 15 wt% of NaCI, water, an effective amount of gelling agent, from 5 wt% to 60 wt% of a liquid polyol, non-gelatinised starch.
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:
A packaged savoury food concentrate in the form of a gel, for preparing a bouillon, a soup, a sauce, a gravy or a seasoning comprising: -a gelling system, -a liquid phase comprising a liquid polyol, -from 3%wt to 30%wt of salt, based on the weight of the total food concentrate, wherein the liquid polyol is present in an amount of from 0.1 wt% to 80 wt%, based on the total weight of the food concentrate.
