Abstract:
A method for improving the freshness of flat breads comprising a) adding to flour or to a dough comprising a flour, a first maltogenic alpha-amylase having at least 70% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, and compared to SEQ ID NO: 1 comprising the substitutions D261G, T288P, and F188L; and a second maltogenic alpha-amylase having at least 70% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, and compared to SEQ ID NO: 1 comprising the substitutions D261G, T288P, F194Y, and N375S; and b) making flat breads from the dough.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a roller to be used as part of an apparatus for spreading and flattening dough, in the context of an industrial bread making line. The dough spreading roller of the present invention is comprised of multiple offset discs installed on a shaft, which accords the roller with an undulating surface. The dough spreading roller of the invention provides a massaging and kneading force to the dough from underneath the conveyor belt. The dough spreading roller also includes end nuts which serve to level the edges of the conveyor belt level during use. The conveyor belt is also provided with a calendar roller located above which provides an opposing and flattening force to said dough spreading roller. The dough is therefore processed between the calendar roller, conveyor, and underlying spreading roller. The invented configuration provides a gentler, less vigorous treatment of the dough which facilitates industrial manufacture of a softer, less processed dough.
Abstract:
A method for preparing frozen foods, which comprises the steps of: - washing vegetables in order to eliminate any residues; - subjecting the vegetables to mechanical treatment in order to isolate the edible part thereof; - cutting the vegetables into small parts having dimensions comprised between 2 mm and 20 mm, through the use of a cutting device; - cooking the small parts by way of subjection to boiling, steaming and the like; - freezing the cooked small parts by way of a freezer to a temperature comprised between -10 °C and -30 °C; - measuring predefined quantities of ingredients which comprise the small parts of vegetables, egg white and at least one regulator for parameters such as flavor enhancement, flavoring, texture and the like; - homogenizing the ingredients by way of apparatuses for cutting and mixing, producing a homogeneous mixture; - distributing the mixture on at least one surface in order to generate layers thereof of predefined dimensions; - freezing the layers by way of a freezer to a temperature comprised between -10 °C and -30 °C; - subjecting the layers to surface topping with ingredients chosen from among tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, soy products, meat, meat products, fish, fish products, oils, fats and the like.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a non-yeast baked product comprising i. preparing a dough comprising adding a composition comprising natamycin having needle shaped crystals to the dough wherein the mean length of the needle shaped crystals is from 0.1 to 20 µm; and ii. baking the dough.
Abstract:
There is provided method of manufacture of a bread, the bread comprising a pocket and having at least one open edge, the method comprising: preparing a dough comprising flour and water; working the dough into a sheet including dusting a surface of the sheet of dough with additional flour; proofing the sheet of dough in a proofing room having a pre-determined humidity level, such that a moisture content of the additional surface flour is increased; cutting the proofed sheet of dough into a plurality of substantially tessellating shaped portions; baking each portion to form a bread, such that steam is generated during baking and forms a pocket in the bread, each bread shrinking away from an adjacent bread during baking, such that the separation distance between each bread is increased; and cutting each bread into at least two parts, each part forming a pocket bread having at least one open edge, the open edge providing access to the pocket, wherein a secondary opening process is not required to provide access to the pocket. The method and gentle baking results in a pocket bread that has a reduced risk of steam rupture, typical of known high intensity Pita baking processes. There is further provided an apparatus for cutting bread and an improved pocket bread.
Abstract:
Flavored flatbread is made by a method comprising providing a cooked flatbread having first and second major surfaces and a thickness of from about 1.0 to about 10 mm and a density of from about 0.1 to about 0.5 g per cubic cm and docking the cooked flatbread to impart a plurality of holes into at least the first major surface of the cooked flatbread. An egg containing liquid mixture is applied to the docked cooked flatbread in an amount and time sufficient to take up from about 0.02 to about 0.09 g per square cm linear surface area of the docked cooked flatbread to provide a coated flatbread. The coated flatbread is cooked to provide a cooked flavored flatbread. Flavored flatbreads are also described.
Abstract:
A method for improving the extensibility of a dough comprising a) adding a gamma glutamyl transpeptidase to flour or to a dough comprising a flour; and b) making the dough. The gamma glutamyl transpeptidase may be obtainable from Bacillus licheniformis and from Bacillus horikoshii.
Abstract:
