Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft sphärische Partikel, Agglomerate aus sphärischen Partikeln, Verfahren zum Herstellen von sphärischen Partikeln, Lebensmittelsuspensionen und Verzehrmassen mit sphärischen Partikeln sowie Lebensmittelprodukte enthaltend eine Lebensmittelsuspension und/oder eine Verzehrmasse. Die Partikel enthaltenein Matrixmaterial aus einem amorph verfestigten Biopolymer, insbesondere einem Zucker, bevorzugt mit einem Dextroseäquivalent von grösser 20, und mit einem Gleichgewichtswassergehalt von bevorzugt kleiner als 10 Gewichts-%, wobei in das Matrixmaterial Feststoffteilchen und/oder Flüssigkeits- und/oder Gasvolumina eingebettet sind. Die Lebensmittelsuspension enthält ein im Wesentlichen homogenes Trägermaterial, in welches sphärische Partikel eingebettet sind. Eine Verzehrmasse umfasst ein Agglomerat aus Partikeln, wobei ein Teil der Partikel sphärische Partikel sind.
Abstract:
Low fat cheeses often suffer from undesirable texture and flavor. The objective of this invention is to improve the yield, texture, flavor and quality of low fat Cheddar cheese during ripening using exopolysaccharides producing lactobacilli and ripening cultures. The invention represents one of the first attempts to tackle both texture and flavor at the same time. The invention reveals the effect of aging on the texture and flavor of low fat Cheddar cheese over a ripening period of six months. The cheese manufactured with a modified protocol using EPS-producing cultures and ripening cultures showed higher values for moisture content(45%) and yield (9.4%) when compared to cheese manufactured with the conventional procedure and without the addition of EPS-producing cultures and ripening cultures (37.7%) and (4.9%) respectively. The obtained results indicated a 70% decrease in the fat content of the cheese. Texture profile analysis (TPA) indicated that the hardness, the cohesiveness, the springiness, the gumminess and the chewiness of the cheeses made using the EPS- producing cultures decreased with aging. The texture of the ripened low fat cheese made using EPS-producing cultures was described as chewy, springy, cohesive and smooth. The use of the ripening cultures resulted in the elimination of the bitter flavor defect which is a common problem in low fat Cheddar.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for preparing cheese products with exopolysaccharide (EPS). In particular, an EPS-producing culture is deactivated either before or shortly after combination of the EPS-fortified ingredient with a base milk ingredient, i.e. cheese milk. In many cases, the base milk ingredient is a low or reduced fat ingredient. The base milk ingredient may have an added fat. Also contemplated are cheese products made using the disclosed methods and compositions.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a ripened cheese and cheese-like product having a sodium content of at most 0.3% (w/w) and/or fat content of at most 30% (w/w), the method improving organoleptic properties by using a milk- and/or whey-based mineral product and/or a biologically active peptide.
Abstract:
The application describes comestible products comprising a water-in-oil emulsion, the water-in-oil emulsion comprising cocoa butter and a fat-crystal stabilised aqueous phase dispersed substantially through the cocoa butter continuous phase and optionally one or more additional ingredients of chocolate. Hydrocolloids, such as gelative or carrageenan are typically used to stabilise the aqueous phase. Methods of making comestible products are also provided.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for producing a baked snack chip made from a raw potato slice. The snack chip has a light, crispy, expanded texture similar to the texture of a fried potato chip. It is formed by compressing and heating a partially dried potato slice and then expanding the potato slice. Alternatively, the expanded potato slice is compressed again.
Abstract:
A method for making potato chips involving a marination step in a brine and acacia gum solution prior to frying. Potato pieces or slices are immersed for a short period of time in a brine solution that comprises soluble acacia gum. This immersion marinates the potato pieces prior to a frying step. The resultant potato chips, after frying, have a reduced fat content but exhibit otherwise very similar characteristics to a potato chip made by prior art frying methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an edible foam product that can advantageously be used in the treatment or prevention of obesity. More particularly, the present invention provides an edible foam product of pourable or spoonable consistency having an overrun of at least 100%, said foam product containing at least 60 wt.% of water, from 1 to 7 wt.% of protein and from 1 to 20 wt.% of carbohydrates, and further being characterised by a high in-mouth stability as evidenced by a reduction in overrun of less than 35% under in-mouth shear conditions and a high gastric stability as evidenced by a t½ > 30 minutes, t½ representing the time needed to achieve a reduction in overrun of 50% under gastric conditions. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of an edible foam product in the treatment or prevention of overweight or obesity, said edible foam product having a pourable or spoonable consistency, an overrun of at least 100% and a high gastric stability as evidenced by t½ > 30 minutes. Yet another aspect of the invention concerns a pressurised container holding an edible liquid composition and a propellant, which liquid composition can be released from the container by activating a valve to produce an edible foam producthaving a pourable or spoonable consistency, an overrun of at least 100% and a high gastric stability as evidenced by t½ > 30 minutes.
