摘要:
The present invention relates to mashed potato products that are provided, in at least a top portion, with a browning agent that causes the product to achieve a pleasing golden brown color upon heating in either a microwave or conventional oven. The product can be a mashed potato topped pot pie.
摘要:
Process for making novel foodstuffs from ingredients comprising potato materials and protein are disclosed. The novel foodstuffs produced by these processes are rapidly heated from a frozen state to a serving temperature in conventional heating equipment. The novel foodstuffs produced comprise a new french fry type foodstuff and a seafood analog. Also disclosed is a process to improve the formation of fiber from vegetable protein.
摘要:
A stable, non-frozen potato product is made from fresh, cooked potatoes with a solids content of from about 10% to about 40% by weight of mix and a high viscosity alginate salt in the range of about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of final product plus additives. The product can be shaped into, for example, french fries or hash browns and will get its shape and stability without prefrying or prefreezing.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a vegetable pasta characterized in that a composition comprising a seed or tuberous vegetable in particulate form and, based on the total weight of the composition, from 0.1 to 4% by weight of sodium or potassium alginate or a mixture thereof, from 0.1 to 4% by weight of propylene glycol alginate and from 0 to 75% by weight of starch, is mixed with an amount of water sufficient to moisten the composition and render it extrudable, extruded into a pasta shape and finally dried, with proviso that at least 10% by weight of starch must be present when a high protein vegetable or potato powder is used.
摘要:
A method for the production of concentrated, frozen puree, especially potato puree, in which method the potatoes are first washed, peeled, cut into pieces, blanched, cooled and dewatered. The potatoes thus processed are then dried to reduce their weight by 40-60%, whereupon the potatoes are steamed and then mashed, frozen and crushed. By drying the potatoes before they are steamed, a final product of higher quality is obtained, while at the same time chemical additives, such as antioxidants, consistency agents etc., are rendered superfluous.
摘要:
A rice or other starch based product is provided which is manufactured from either broken rice or whole rice which is first ground and then pressure-formed into rice-shaped pieces. The pressure formed pieces are then heated by exposing them to saturated steam at a super atmospheric pressure above 0.5 psig in an autoclave for a sufficient time to gelatinize a major portion of the starch. After further processing, the rice pieces can be reconstituted by a consumer for consumption.
摘要:
Cooked potato pieces containing the skins, eyes, and hard defective flesh portions of the whole potatoes from which such pieces are prepared are fed into one end of a perforated conduit having perforations that are only large enough to pass the potato flesh, and are transported along the length of such conduit by a conveyor screw while pressure is exerted sufficient to pass only the potato flesh through the perforations, with minimal, if any, damage to the cells thereof. Potato mash substantially free of skins, eyes, and hard defective flesh portions is collected from the outer face of the conduit as the principal product of the process, while the rejected potato skins, eyes, and hard defective flesh portions are discharged at the opposite end of the conduit as a by-product useful for animal feed or otherwise.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus is described for preparing a crunchy food topping of random sized pieces or granules of cooked dough in which the dough is mixed, subdivided to random sized pieces or granules, baked, allowed to cool, sized and packed. The granules can then be applied to a food product, e.g., a dessert such as pie, cake, pudding, etc., by hand. The random sized pieces or granules are prepared within a dough-containing trough or hopper having a rotating cutting or comminuting device, e.g., wires near its bottom end. These wires are supported upon spokes which are mounted rigidly upon a rotating drive axle near the bottom of the hopper. The hopper has an outlet at the bottom through which the granules exit to a conveyor used for transporting them to a baking oven.
摘要:
An agglomerate of dehydrated potato particles containing a binder, the agglomerate having a bulk density in the range of 0.25-0.50 grams per milliliter a bulk porosity in the range of 0.6-0.9 and an initial moisture absorption rate during reconstitution at 130.degree.F of 0.20 to 0.35 grams of water per gram of product per second and being reconstitutable without agitation to form a substantially homogenous dough even when disposed as a consolidated mass. By proper distribution of the binder among the particles, the reconstituted potato dough exhibits uniform cohesive characteristics that allow for ready division into shapes suitable for french-frying.
