Abstract:
Se proporciona un procedimiento de obtención de oligosacáridos prebióticos viable industrialmente que utiliza una nueva enzima de Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, caracterizada por presentar actividad α-glucosidasa. También se proporciona un procedimiento de obtención de un producto enzimático con actividad α-glucosidasa, así como de la enzima sustancialmente pura con 10 actividad α-glucosidasa. El producto enzimático y la enzima presentan como aspectos positivos un alto espectro de actuación y una alta actividad específica. Los oligosacáridos prebióticos se usan en alimentación.
Abstract:
A novel seasoning material containing as the main ingredient a cloudy substance prepared by lowering the ionic strength or electric conductivity of an extract or juice of livestock meat, fish, shellfish, vegetable, fungus, etc. When added to the existing processed natural extract, natural extract substitute, seasoning or food and drink, it can impart thereto "shimari" (a tightness) in the taste comparable to that of high-quality natural extract or fundamental soup stock.
Abstract:
Hard edible mushrooms whole or in pieces are submitted to an enzymatic process. With the purpose to provide more flavoury and tender mushrooms, of a pleasant consistency and taste, the mushrooms are placed after rinsing and cleaning, into an acid solution having a pH between 3 and 5.5 and a salt content of 0.02 to 0.5 mole, by adding eventually glutanases and chitinases; then, they are left at temperatures between 20 and 55`C in aerobic or anaerobic conditions during a period of time between twelve hours and five days, optionally they may be brought to a boiling point and finally packaging may start under reduced pressure conditions. The process also allows the conservation of mushrooms independently of picking seasons.
Abstract:
A method for at least the partial reduction in salt (NaCI) applied as a topical flavouring in foods is described wherein a topical flavour enhancer is utilized in combination with a reduced amount of salt. The topical flavour enhancer comprises a mixed of a natural extract derived from a fungi, which has been combined with a metal chloride, wherein said metal is calcium, magnesium or potassium, or mixtures thereof, together with a food grade carrier or additive, for use in topical applications on food products.
Abstract:
Brewer’s yeast the flavor of which has been improved by treating with diglycosidase or a brewer’s yeast extract the flavor of which has been improved by treating with diglycosidase. Thus, it is possible to provide brewer’s yeast or a brewer’s yeast extract having a relieved bitterness or an enriched body. A process for producing brewer’s yeast the flavor of which has been improved by treating with diglycosidase or a process for producing a brewer’s yeast extract the flavor of which has been improved by treating with diglycosidase. Thus, it is possible to produce brewer’s yeast or a brewer’s yeast extract having a relieved bitterness or an enriched body.
Abstract:
Nutritional products, compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and methods of use are disclosed for the prevention, suppression and treatment of anemia and/or diabetes and its various associated comorbidities. Uses of Ergothioneine to neutralize free radicals and/or cytokines, reduce oxidative stress, prevent inflammation, stimulate red blood cell production with increased levels of hemoglobin, and/or stabilize iron in its normal 2 + charge for proper oxygen binding and carrying are further disclosed. The extraction of Ergothioneine from whole food sources and bacterium for use in nutritional products, compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and treatments is also disclosed.
