Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of concentrated food compositions. It further relates to a process to prepare the same. It further relates to the use of said food composition for preparing a bouillon, a soup, a sauce, gravy or a seasoned dish. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide high salt gelled food concentrates, based on gelatine. It is found that at high salt concentrations type A gelatine gels can be obtained at gelatine concentrations that would otherwise lead to gel-liquid phase separation by the addition of certain amino acids.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for the production of a gel-based product, the method comprising (i) providing a liquid composition comprising gelatin in an amount of 0.1-30 wt.%, and (ii) adding a calcium salt to the liquid composition to provide a calcium concentration in the liquid composition up to 50 m M, wherein when combining the gelatin and calcium salt the liquid composition substantially does not comprises a cross-linker,and wherein the gelatin comprises amino acids with at least 1% of the total amount of amino acids being succinylated or phtalated.
Abstract:
Health benefits manifested by consuming collagen/hydrolyzed collagen and swiftlet nest exhibit resemblance of each other. Logical instinct should have linked the duos. However, due to age-old assumptions and cultural misplacement, this relationship have been undergrounded. Swiftlet nest has been consumed by Chinese community as a premium delicacy and effective medicine as well as beauty enhancer. So much so that it has become the food of status and command very high price. Due to this reason, the culture of "if it ain't broken, dont fix it" permeated. Double steaming, sometimes called double boiling, is the only widely used cooking method till today, under the belief that over heating above 100°C will destroy the nutrion value of swiftlet nest. This invention is a breakthrough from tradition. Swiftlet nest is cooked above 100°C, using steam sterilization method. Amino acids analysis has been carried out on the sample of the swiftlet nest cooked using this invention. It shows the amino acids profile does fit the amino acids profile of collagen and hydrolyzed collagen. Hence, with this invention, swiftlet nest proved to be a source rich in amino acids and can be used as the raw material to produce collagen and hydrolyzed collagen.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a jelly confectionary comprising: (a) a sugar selected from isomaltulose, trehalose and combinations thereof, (b) at least one gelling agent and (c) water, wherein the content of component (a) in the jelly confectionary is within the range of 30 to 0 wt.-% based on the total weight of the jelly confectionary and to a process for producing such jelly confectionary. The jelly confectionary is non-cariogenic, non-laxative and has a low glycemic index.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing food products by means of processing food particles with a gelling agent, comprising the processing steps of: a) providing a food particles; b) providing a viscous gelling agent; c) treating the viscous gelling agent with an acidic buffer solution; and d) bringing at least a part of the food particles in contact with the viscous gelling agent. The present invention further relates to a device for performing this method, to the obtained food product and the use of an acidic buffer solution for stabilizing food products.
Abstract:
A food product having at least a first part and a second part, where the water activity of the first part is lower than the water activity of the second part, and a moisture barrier between the first part and the second part, wherein the moisture barrier is formed upon dehydration of an emulsion comprising lipid a biopolymer emulsifier.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a non oven-cooked milk food composition containing eggs, wherein eggs can be in liquid form or in the form of an egg powder, which comprises caseinate and a caseinate-crosslinking agent, and to a process for preparing it.
Abstract:
A method of preparing genipin-rich materials from the fruit of Genipa americana fruit for their use as a cross-linking agent and as a raw material to produce colors is disclosed. The genipin-rich materials can be used in a broad range of applications including personal care, cosmetics, dietary supplements, packaging, textiles, beverages, foodstuffs, drugs, and animal feeds.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for a functional food effective for restoring blood composition and function deteriorated by anticancer treatments, an operation, aging, or stress. The composition for a functional food comprises, in dry weight, 30 to 90 wt % of collagen, 3 to 60 wt % of linseed, 1 to 50 wt % of phlorotannin, 1 to 30 wt % of calcium, 0.1 to 3 wt % of iron, 0.01 to 0.5 wt % of vitamin E, and 0.01 to 0.1 wt % of vitamin B.
Abstract:
Provided is a gelatin dessert which can be frozen and stored in the freezer for at least 6 months. Upon thawing, the gelatin dessert is a ready to use dessert that has desirable mouthfeel and organoleptic properties. The dessert comprises gelatine, sugar, inulin, wheat fiber, acacia gum, emulsifier, starch and water.
