Abstract:
Existe una gran dificultad en el aprovechamiento y disposición final de grandes volúmenes de subproductos de la industria del café y del cacao. Estos subproductos subutilizados y de baja digestibilidad debido a su alto contenido de taninos, ácidos clorogénicos y fibra de difícil descomposición y altamente contaminantes por su contenido materia orgánica como proteínas, aminoácidos y otros elementos, son dejados a libre exposición en los campos y algunas veces vertidos en ríos. Adicionalmente, los alimentos con alto contenido en proteínas son cada vez más escasos y de alto costo, lo cual dificulta el acceso sin que se conozcan alternativas de sustitución diferentes a las habituales. La presente invención se refiere a un producto denominado alimento funcional que consiste en una de sus presentaciones en una harina compuesta por subproductos de café y/o cacao miceliados con macromiceto o macromiceto entomopatógeno el cual es producido, mezclado y enriquecido con los nutrientes de su propio sustrato de cultivo. El resultado es un producto novedoso rico en contenido de proteína, polisacáridos, antioxidantes y bajo en cafeína. El Alimento funcional obtenido tiene un incremento en la proteína entre el 15 y el 20% y un incremento en la cantidad final de antioxidantes debido al sustrato inicial y a la acción de los hongos cultivados en él.
Abstract:
A method for at least the partial reduction in salt (NaCI) in a prepared food product is described wherein a flavour enhancer is utilized in combination with a reduced amount of salt. The flavour enhancer comprises a mixed of a natural extract derived from a fungi, and preferably derived from white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), together with a food grade carrier and optionally a property enhancing additive. The flavour enhancer is thus used as a tool for replacement of between 10 and 70% w/w of the salt normally present in a prepared food product.
Abstract:
본 발명은 상황버섯을 이용한 저염간장 및 그 제조방법에 대한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 저염상태에서 발생되는 미생물을 억제할 수 있는 효능을 가진 항균활성이 뛰어난 상황버섯을 첨가하여 저염이면서도 깊은 맛을 간직한 간장 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다. 저염간장이 제조되기 위해서는 1차적으로 간장제조시 사용하는 염수의 농도가 낮아야 하며, 염수의 농도가 낮은 상태에서 제조된 간장을 실생활에서 사용할 때 기존 간장보다 더 많이 넣어서 음식의 간을 맞춘다면 저염간장을 사용하는 의미가 상쇄되어 버린다. 그러한 상황을 예방하기 위해서는 간장이 저염이면서도 맛이 있어야 한다. 보통 음식에는 한가지 맛으로만 간을 맞추는 것이 아니라 다양한 맛이 조화를 이룰 때 싱거운 음식도 맛있게 느껴진다.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a powder for coloring a food product or a food product surface when heated, the powder comprising a plant extract, a chemical base, and a carrier; wherein the plant extract comprises a compound with at least one aromatic ring having at least two hydroxyl groups borne by two adjacent carbon atoms of that aromatic ring. Further aspects of the invention are the use of said powder for coloring a food product when heated for example in a microwave oven and to food products comprising said powder.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel polypeptides and enzymes (e.g., thermostable proteins and enzymes) having activities relating to biomass processing and/or degradation (e.g., cell wall deconstruction), as well as polynucleotides, vectors, cells, compositions and tools relating to same, or functional variants thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to secreted enzymes that may be isolated from the fungi, Thermoascus aurantiacus strain CBS 181.67, Myceliophthora fergusii (Corynascus thermophilus) strain CBS 405.69, and Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides strain 494.80. Uses thereof in various industrial processes such as in biofuels, food preparation, animal feed, pulp and paper, textiles, detergents, waste treatment and others are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for extracting an unsaponifiable fraction contained in an oil or a vegetable butter, in an oil from a microorganism, in a concentrate of oil or vegetable butter or oil from a microorganism, or in a co-product from the plant oil refining industry, such as the deodistillates and the physical refining distillates, or oils from microorganisms, said method comprising at least: A) a step of transforming said oils, said butter or said co-product from the industry of refining vegetable oils or oils from microorganisms in a hydroalcoholic solution, especially via a step of saponification, and B) a step of extracting the hydroalcoholic solution wherein the fatty fraction is separated from the unsaponifiable fraction by a liquid/liquid extraction. Said method is characterised in that at least the step of liquid/liquid extraction of step B is carried out using a first system of solvents comprising a solvent content selected from the solvents comprising at least 5 carbon atoms and one or two oxygen atoms in the form of either an ether function, a ketone function, or an ester function, amounting to at least 50 volume % in relation to the total volume of the first system of solvents, as well as fractions obtained by said method.
