Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a nut spread composition substitute devoid of added fat and/or sugar and used for dietetic products. The inventive method consists in using a soluble fibre in a form of inulin mixed with water in accurate proportions, thereby making it possible to obtain a texture and taste equivalent to a traditional spread devoid of a vegetable fat and sugar. Said method is particularly suitable for persons respecting a good food hygiene.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing fruit spread from liquefied fruit pulps and juice concentrates without the addition of sugar, artificial sweeteners, acid, pectin and thickeners, wherein the fruit pulp is incubated with pectolytic enzyme under controlled conditions to reduce the pulp viscosity to a desired level.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to microalgal flour granules, their use in food products; and a process for preparing the microalgal flour granules. The microalgal flour granules have specific particle size distribution, flow capability and wettability properties.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an edible tomato-based product comprising: - 5-99.9 % by weight of dry matter oftomato-derived components other than water; - 30-95 wt.% of water; - 0.1-30 wt.% of oil; wherein the oil contains at least 10 wt.% of diacylglycerides. The invention also relates to the use of diacylglycerides for increasing the bioavailability of one or more lipophilic micronutrients that are comprised in an edible tomato-based product, said use comprising incorporating into said edible product 0.03-15 wt.% of diacylglycerides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bread spread containing a beverage, preferably water or milk, sugar or a sweetener, thickening agent, acidulant and cola flavor. By adding the cola flavor, a bread spread with a new taste is obtained, which expands the existing bread spread offer.
Abstract:
The invention provides a fat spread with a continuous aqueous phase containing 0 to 40 % of a fatty phase which can be produced by incorporating in the aqueous phase gelatin, a gelling hydrolysed starch and a gelling polysaccharide of the group consisting of agar, kappa-carrageenan, iota-carrageenan, gellan, furcelleran, alginate, pectin and mixtures thereof. Also provided are improved spreads in a tub wherein the inner surfaces of the tub above the fill level are not coated with the spread.
Abstract:
Matière grasse allégée et son utilisation en boulangerie et pâtisserie La présente invention concerne une matière grasse allégée obtenue en substituant une partie de la matière grasse d'origine végétale et/ou animale de départ par une matière première non animale, une farine de microalgues, ainsi que ses utilisations comme produit nouveau dans les domaines de la boulangerie et/ou de la pâtisserie et/ou de la viennoiserie.
Abstract:
A process for making, or preparing, a reduced-calorie fruit and/or vegetable spread product including whole, natural fruit(s) and/or vegetable(s), or combinations thereof, having improved flavor, texture (e.g., mouth feel), color, and nutritional value as compared to fruit and/or vegetable spread products made with conventional processes. More particularly, the process of the present invention includes a pasteurization step, using a swept-surface heat exchanger, for making fruit and/or vegetable spread products having reduced caloric and sugar content and having increased soluble dietary fiber content. The minimal processing of the present process enables the produced fruit and/or vegetable spread products to retain flavor, texture, color, vitamins and other nutrients which are, typically, lost in traditionally-processed fruit and/or vegetable spread products. The process' preferable use of squeeze tube packaging eliminates the need for cutlery in order to use or consume the fruit and/or vegetable spread products and serves to make the products more portable.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a spreadable nonfat protein composition comprising an edible nonfat solid, a sweetener in the range of about 40 to 80 % of total weight of the composition and a sweetness inhibiting amount of the sweetness inhibiting agent (+/-)2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-propanoate or salts thereof. The spreadable nonfat protein composition can be used to create a variety of nonfat edible foodstuffs.
Abstract:
Non-frozen low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavour molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35 wt.% of the flavour molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavour molecules from the emulsion is delayed, thereby imparting the taste and mouthfeel of a full-fat emulsion.
