Abstract:
Properties of starchy food products such as noodles, fried products and snack products may be improved by treating the raw materials with a lipolytic enzyme. The enzyme treatment may improve the dough handling during processing, the texture, the crispiness, the mouthfeel and the appearance. The enzyme treatment may also reduce the oil content of a fried product, increase the firmness, and increase the bulkiness (reduce the bulk density) of a fried product The lipolytic enzyme may have phospholipase, galactolipase and/or triacyl-glycerol lipase activity.
Abstract:
There has been a need to develop a method for preparing a bread dough using potassium bromate, an excellent bread improver, which provides baked breads free from residual bromate without affecting the flavor and taste of the breads. It has also been desired to develop a method for making breads using such a bread dough. The present invention provides a method for preparing a bread dough, which comprises incorporating potassium bromate as an aqueous solution, in combination with ferrous sulfate and ascorbic acid in the step of forming a sponge dough such that the solubility of the incorporated potassium bromate is increased in the bread dough to facilitate chemical decomposition of bromate, so that the resulting baked breads are free from residual bromate or have a reduced content of residual bromate. Also provided is a method for making breads, which comprises baking the bread dough.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ready-for-use bakery dough product which can be preserved in the refrigerator and which is prepared from flour, sugar, egg, starch, emulsifiers, baking powder, water and fat, and provided in a bar or block form. This bakery dough is placed in a baking tin and then baked to form individual baked products. In addition, the block can be formed of different dough layers or strips, or each portion can be provided with a different color, decoration or filling. Different doughs can be swirled together to provide a marbled appearance in the block or in the layers or strips. The dough and resulting bakery product can be filled.
Abstract:
A method for the reduction of acrylamide in food products, food products having reduced levels of acrylamide, and an article of commerce. In one aspect, the method comprises reducing the level of asparagine in a food material before final heating (e.g., cooking). In another aspect, the method comprises adding to a food material an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing the amide group of free asparagine. In yet another aspect, an article of commerce communicates to the consumer that a food product has reduced or low levels of acrylamide or asparagine.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a protein-rich, low-calorie food preparation in the form of round, oval, rectangular or square garnished dough for the production of products that imitate or resemble traditional pizza-type products. The inventive preparation is characterised in that it contains in percentages expressed in weight of the commercial product:nulla total protein content (measured in Nnull6.25) of between 8.5 and 28%, preferably between 10 and 20% and, better still, between 10 and 18%;nulla carbohydrate content of between 11 and 29%, preferably between 11 and 20% and, better still, between 12 and 18%;nulla lipid content of between 1 and 10%, preferably between 1.5 and 7% and, better still, between 2 and 6%nulla water content of between 10 and 40%; and a caloric value of between 90 and 200 Kcal per 100 g and preferably between 130 and 180 Kcal per 100 g.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an agent for improving dough for bread and doughnuts which comprises an alginic acid ester. The bread and doughnuts made by using the dough improving agent are not crushed, bent or broken when sliced or cut by a machine in their fresh state still containing heat and water vapor after baking or frying.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a novel food intermediate containing a phytosteryl esters complex and the method used to create the food intermediate. The food product provides beneficial hypocholesterolemic activity through increased cholesterol-uptake inhibition while simultaneously delivering a food product that is not adversely affected by its inclusion, either in taste or texture or in any undesirable side effects.
