Abstract:
Dough compositions comprising potato flanules can be used to make fabricated food products. The flanules have physical properties in between flakes and granules. In comparison to granules, the addition of flanules to the dough increases sheet strength, cohesiveness, and elasticity of the dough. In comparison to flakes, the addition of flanules to the dough decreases sheet strength.
Abstract:
A scoopable dough can be used to prepare cut biscuits, drop biscuits, dumplings, flat bread, crackers, pizza dough, doughnuts, fritters, hushpuppies, muffins, pastry crusts, coffee cake, quick bread, scones, cobbler-type crust, and the like. A scoopable dough can be formed into various shapes and thereafter stored at temperatures suitable for freezing and at temperatures suitable for refrigeration that includes flour, water, a protein supplement, a shortening, a humectant, and a leavening system encapsulated, and the scoopable dough has desirable viscoelastic properties. The various shapes of the scoopable dough can be in the form of individual single-serve units of dough that can be placed in an oven and baked without an intermediate thawing or proofing step.
Abstract:
A baked product is used as food for an athlete and provides the energy content in kilocalories. The baked product results from processing a baking mixture comprising a proportion of less than 20% fats, more than 50% carbohydrates, and more than 15% proteins. The processing requires stirring the baking mixture with a liquid, in particular water, and then baking the baking mixture. A further embodiment of the invention includes the baked product in the form of a baked cake wherein the baking mixture is stirred with water in a weight ratio of approximately 150 g water to 140 g baking mixture to form a paste. The resulting paste is placed into a baking mold, and baked at a temperature of at least 150 degrees Celsius. A still further embodiment includes a kit including the baking mixture in a sealable bin, a measuring device, and a baking mold.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system and method is provided for injecting a fluid additive into a viscous fluid food flow stream. A fluid additive injector device is utilized to inject the fluid additive which has structure to prevent or minimize the amount of fluid additive that contacts or pools along the periphery of the fluid food flow stream. A fluid additive delivery system is provided to deliver equal amounts of fluid additive to a plurality of fluid additive injectors using a single pump without adjustable flow control apparatus.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for preparing cereal grain having increased dietary fiber and/or resistant starch content and the process tolerant grain prepared thereby. Further, this invention provides high amylose grain with unusually high dietary fiber and resistant starch content. In particular, this invention involves the preparation of the improved grain by a combination of moisture and temperature conditions and further to use of the grain in the preparation of products containing starch.
Abstract:
The subject invention is a process for production of an appetizer comprising the steps of: a) adding between about 1.0 percent to 1.5 weight percent lime to a combination of water and corn to form a mixture; b) boiling the mixture until the mixture contains between about 34 to 38 weight percent moisture; d) soaking the mixture for between about 12 to 16 hours to achieve between about 46 to 52 percent moisture; d) grinding said mixture into a dough; and e) rolling and cooking said dough to produce the appetizer. This invention has the quality of permitting a new product from the nixtamalized corn dough, which is acceptable to the public, and a technology that allows for the accomplishment of the above objective.
Abstract:
An enzyme resistant starch type III which has a melting point or endothermic peak of at least about 140null C. as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is produced in yields of at least about 25% by weight, based upon the weight of the original starch ingredient. A gelatinization stage, nucleation/propagation stage, and preferably a heat-treatment stage are used to produce reduced calorie starch-based compositions which contain the enzyme resistant starch type III. The enzyme resistant starch is produced calf using crystal nucleation and propagation temperatures which avoid substantial production of lower melting amylopectin crystals, lower melting amylose crystals, and lower melting amylose-lipid complexes. The nucleating temperature used is above the melting point of e amylopectin crystals. The propagating temperature used is above the melting point of any amylose-lipid complexes but below the melting point of the enzyme resistant starch. Starch-based compositions comprising the high-melting RS type III of the present invention exhibit unexpectedly superior baking characteristics, such as cookie spread, golden brown color, pleasant aroma, and surface cracking which are comparable to those achieved with conventional wheat flour. The high melting point of the enzyme resistant starch, as measured by DSC, permits its use in baked good formulations without substantial loss of enzyme resistance upon baking. It may therefore be used for the production of reduced calorie baked goods such as cookies. The heat-treatment may be applied to enzyme resistant starch type I, II, and IV, as well as type III, to increase the yield of enzyme resistant starch or dietary fiber content of the enzyme resistant starch composition and enhance its baking characteristics.
Abstract:
Bread and similar wheat flour-based products are provided which exhibit reduced toughness when subjected to microwave heating. The products are prepared from wheat flour-based, leavened doughs which have adjusted gliadin:glutenin ratios of from about 1.1-2.3, such ratio adjustment is preferably accomplished by the addition of a gliadin-rich preparation into the starting doughs, typically at levels of from about 1-6% (fwb).
