    摘要: An enzymatically treated pasta dough having superior workability and machinability is provided by is prepared by treating pasta dough with an enzyme system consisting essentially of one or more pentosanase enzymes which are essentially free of both proteolytic and amylase activities. The enzymatically treated pasta dough has significantly reduced viscosity as compared to a similar pasta dough which has not been enzymatically treated by the process of this invention. The reduced viscosity of the pasta dough allows significantly reduced head pressures and/or significantly higher throughputs in commercial pasta extrusion systems. Additionally, the pasta product obtained using the present enzymatically treated pasta dough is less prone to checking during drying, thereby allowing faster drying times, more even drying, and reduced energy consumption without sacrificing product quality in commercial operations. Additionally, the enzymatically treated pasta dough has sufficient workability that it can be used in a hand-held and hand-operated extrusion system which allows a consumer to prepare the actual pasta product in the home kitchen. A kit including such a hand-held and hand-operated extrusion system is also provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of preparing a spreadable stabilized and seasoned cheese blend based on ricotta cheese, as well as the ricotta cheese blend composition, and a lasagna kit that includes the ricotta cheese blend, optional shredded cheese, tomato sauce, and uncooked lasagna. The method of stabilizing the ricotta blend includes the step of treating the blend at a temperature in the range of 160null F. to 170null F. for a time sufficient to confer to the blend a shelf life stability against the growth of Clostridium botulinum for at least 20 weeks. In additional aspects of the method, the cheese blend, and the kit, the cheese blend further includes an additive chosen from among a second cheese other than ricotta, salt, spices, herbs, an edible acid, and a preservative, or a mixture of any two or more of these additives.

    摘要: The present invention provides a low moisture cheesecake product having extended shelf life stability. It includes a crust whose water activity ranges from about 0.40 to about 0.86, and a cheesecake filling whose water activity ranges from about 0.76 to about 0.86. The water activity of the finished cheesecake product ranges from about 0.60 to about 0.86. The shelf life stability of the cheesecake product is at least about 3 months at refrigerated temperature. In favorable embodiments of the cheesecake product, its size and shape are appropriate for an individual serving as a snack or a dessert. The filling comprises less than about 60% by weight cream cheese, and includes ingredients that contribute to a lowering of the water activity of the cheesecake product.

    摘要: Plant sterols and plant sterol esters have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols, plant stanols, plant sterol esters, and plant stanol esters are incorporated into mouthfeel-enhancing, texture-building and composition-stabilizing compositions which are mesophase-stabilized compositions for use in low-fat, fat-free and triglyceride-free food products. Such compositions may be incorporated into food products resulting in low-fat, fat-free and triglyceride-free food products which may be used to deliver a recommended daily dosage of the cholesterol-reducing compounds to segments of the population which must limit it's cholesterol intake.

    摘要: Plant sterols have been shown to be cholesterol-reducing agents in human serum. In the present invention, plant sterols, plant stanols, plant sterol esters and other non-toxic sterols are co-crystallized with emulsifiers to form a plant sterol/emulsifier complex or plant stanol/emulsifier complex which can be incorporated into full-fat, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free and triglyceride-free food products. Plant sterols and plant stanols can be co-crystallized with emulsifiers to produce a blend which has a melting temperature significantly lower than the melting temperature of the plant sterol or plant stanol. Such complexes can be used to incorporate relatively high levels of such sterols/stanols in food products without the adverse organoleptic effect normally associated with the use of such plant sterols and plant stanols.
