摘要:
A sandwich wrap comprising a flexible, edible sheet that is adapted to enfold an edible filling whereby the resulting enclosing tube has both ends open and an auxiliary support situated under the lowermost open end when the wrap is held vertically for consumption, thus restraining filling from exiting. A method using an assembly frame positions the auxiliary support. Filling is stocked in a capped filling storage tube comprising at least two components that can be disassembled from inside the edible enclosing tube to give the edible enclosed filling. The food product may comprise a set of separately enclosed different fillings and each edible enclosing tube may be shaped around the filling storage tube to give a cross-sectional form of a circle sector so that the set forms a right circular cylinder. A seepage container assists assembly in advance of an order, to avoid impairment by moisture seeping out of fillings.

A flavored corn tortilla taco shell is provided. The flavored corn tortilla taco shell has a first sidewall element, a second sidewall element, a substantially flat base element of defined width, a first curved element interconnecting the first sidewall element to the flat base element; and a second curved element interconnecting the second sidewall element to the flat base element. Methods of fabrication are disclosed.

A seasoned snack food with a protective coating is provided. The protective coating provides the consumer with reduced tactile messiness, and dissolves quickly in the mouth resulting in rapid flavor delivery.
摘要:
A method of making an enhanced corn masa by roasting com kernels to neutralize the corn seed prior to cooking and soaking the corn in lime. Roasting of the corn kernels provides numerous benefits including the ability to dial in a roasted flavor with the use of blends of roasted and unroasted kernels, a higher conversion of the com kernel into a finished product, a reduced acrylamide content in finished product, and fewer off-flavors in baked products.

摘要:
Cell walls having asparagine are weakened by one or more cell weakening mechanisms to permit penetration of one or more acryl amide-reducing agents into the cell walls prior to cooking in order to reduce the formation of acrylamide. The methods disclosed herein are especially applicable to sliced food products such as sliced potatoes. Alternatively, the mechanism can be applied to non-sliced foods such as cocoa beans and roasted coffee beans. The cell weakening mechanisms can include microwave energy, ultrasonic energy, pulsed or constant pressure differentials, a cell weakening enzyme, and lime.
摘要:
A taco shell (200) having a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The taco shell includes a pair of sidewalls (202 and 204) and a bottom wall (206). Each sidewall is non-planar in shape. The bottom wall extends between and spaces apart the sidewalls from one another. The pair of spaced apart sidewalls and bottom wall define a channel (208) adapted to receive edible items. The bottom wall is non-planar in shape such as to have a cross-sectional profile taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis that forms a wave pattern having at least two troughs (210 and 212) and one crest (214). Each sidewall is connected to one of the troughs. The two troughs are adapted to support the taco shell in a self-supporting and upright manner upon a planar and level support surface.
摘要:
High fiber, reduced effective carbohydrate formulations useful for preparing food products such as tortillas, tortilla chips, taco shells, corn based snacks, breakfast cereal, and the like comprise about 10-80% masa corn flour; about 10-60% ground corn bran; about 1-20% pre-gelatinized flour and/or pre-gelatinized starch; about 0-60% ground corn germ; about 0-50% corn gluten meal; and about 0-30% vital wheat gluten or wheat protein isolate.
摘要:
An improved method for maintaining a designed functional shape in fabricated, expanded snack products by utilizing discrete, solid lipid particles. These lipids must be solid at room temperature with a melting point above 100°F such that they remain discrete and solid when mixed with the dough and are subsequently sheeted or extruded. During the toasting, frying, or baking step, the solid lipid particles melt and soften and disrupt the starch matrix, thus allowing steam to escape and preventing undesirable defects such as excessive blistering, pillowing, and other shape defects that prevent the intended functionality. The addition of solid lipid particles, however, prevents steam accumulation only in the localized area where a solid lipid particle exists. Thus, by changing the level of solid lipid particles in the dough, the degree of shape deformities can be controlled.
摘要:
A high-protein, low-carbohydrate flat bakery product comprising a first proteinaceous ingredient and a second proteinaceous ingredient selected from the group consisting of wheat protein isolate, wheat protein concentrate, devitalized wheat gluten, fractionated wheat protein, deamidated wheat gluten, hydrolyzed wheat protein, and combinations thereof are provided. Preferred bakery products further comprise an amount of resistant starch which replaces a portion of digestible carbohydrate therein.
