摘要:
The present invention relates to a pourable food composition, like a dressing, that has at least 2.5 grams of total dietary fiber per 32 gram serving. The fiber is derived from at least one whole fruit or vegetable that is partially or completely dehydrated and which is subjected only to minimal processing. The food composition has a viscosity of about 3,000 to about 12,500 centipoise. The fiber may be derived from whole vegetables that are high in fiber, such as beans, carrots, broccoli and the like. The fiber may also be derived from whole fruits that are high in fiber, such as avocados, mangos, and the like. The whole food is subject to only minimal processing, such as by physical means, enzymatic means, or by fermentative means.

The present invention provides a wheyless process for preparing natural mozzarella cheese using dry dairy ingredients. This process enables the manufacture of cheese from non-perishable or shelf-stable ingredients such as dried milk protein concentrate and anhydrous milkfat. This enables greater flexibility in the location of cheese manufacturing facilities as handling and/or transporting large quantities of fresh milk is not required. Also, in utilizing such a process, the need for refrigerated storage of the fresh milk would be minimal. The dry dairy ingredients used in the present invention comprise milk protein concentrates and blends of milk protein concentrates with up to about 50 percent of a second dry dairy ingredient selected from the group consisting of whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, calcium caseinate, sodium caseinate, rennet casein, acid casein, nonfat dry milk, and mixtures thereof.

The processes described herein are directed to cream cheese products containing galacto-oligosaccharides and having significantly reduced lactose levels. More specifically, lactose-containing dairy substrates are contacted with lactase enzyme(s) having hydrolytic and trans-galactosylation activities effective for converting at least 20 percent of the lactose in the dairy substrate to galacto-oligosaccharides. The enzyme-treated dairy substrate is then processed into galacto-oligosaccharide containing cream cheese products having reduced lactose levels. The cream cheese products provided herein have excellent nutritional and organoleptic properties.

Treated egg products are provided for imparting the flavor of egg to foods that include egg yolk treated simultaneously with protease and phospholipase. Food flavoring composition are also provided for imparting the flavor egg that can be used in lower amounts than whole egg or egg yolk. Additionally, methods are provided for preparing the egg flavored food compositions. Such egg yolk compositions are prepared by the simultaneous application of phospholipase enzyme and protease enzyme. The method further includes egg flavored food products, such as mayonnaise and salad dressings, which are prepared with the food flavoring composition. The egg flavor compositions can be used in a variety of food products to provide egg flavor and enhanced functionality.
