The present invention relates to a method for preparing dough, in particular to a method for preparing frozen dough. In one aspect the present invention relates to a method for preparing a dough, which method comprises: a) preparing the dough including the step of adding a Penicillium glucose oxidase and a Talaromyces xylanase to at least one dough ingredient; and b) cooling the dough to a temperature in the range of 40 to 5 degrees Celsius.

In another aspect the invention relates to a composition comprising a Penicillium glucose oxidase and a Talaromyces xylanase.

In a further aspect the invention relates to a dough comprising a Penicillium glucose oxidase and a Talaromyces xylanase, in a further aspect the dough is a frozen dough. The present invention also relates to a baked product a method for preparing a baked product.

Further the invention relates to the use of a Penicillium glucose oxidase and a Talaromyces xylanase for improving properties of a dough which has been stored frozen or a baked product prepared from a dough which has been stored frozen.

A method of producing a par-baked product dough, comprising incorporating into the dough a phospholipase enzyme and a GH8 xylanase.

A vegetable snack product includes a base starch, corn flour, whole vegetable flour other than potato and corn, vegetable powder other than potato and corn. The vegetable snack product provides at least 15% of real vegetables exclusive of potato and corn and has a bulk density between about 60 g/L to about 84 g/L. An exemplary method of making a vegetable snack product includes hydrating a dry mix containing a base starch, corn flour, whole vegetable flour other than potato and corn, and vegetable powder other than potato and corn to form a dough containing from 31.5% to 35.5% of moisture. The dough may be extruded through a die slot to form a continuous sheet that may be cut to form individual snack sized pieces, which are then fried pieces to form a vegetable snack product.

A solid preparation ready for consumption is proposed, where the surface has edible particles proportionately, which are fixed by means of a substance system that has a glass transition temperature between about 45 and about 75 C.

The present invention relates generally to the field of foams. One aspect of the invention provides a foam having a continuous lipid phase and a porosity of between and 80% wherein, at a temperature at which the lipid phase has a solid lipid content between 0.1 and 80% the foam comprises gas bubbles having at least 50% of their surface occupied by crystals comprising triglycerides. Further aspects of the invention are a product comprising a foam and a process for forming a foam.

The present invention relates to mixed crystals comprising a) leavening agent and b) 0.1 to 5000 ppm by weight of crystallization aid, based on the total amount of the leavening agent, in the form of at least polymer, wherein when hydrophilic cellulose derivatives are used as crystallization aid, the amount thereof is reduced to less than 100 ppm by weight, based on the total amount of the leavening agent. The present invention further relates to the production of the mixed crystals and to the use thereof in the production of bakery products, as acid regulator in foods, in the production of cosmetics products, in the synthesis and formulation of pharmaceutical products, and also as blowing agent in industrial processes such as, for example, the production of foam rubber, or for fire-extinguishing formulations. The present invention relates, furthermore, to the production of bakery products.

Infant cereals play a significant role in the complementary baby feeding period. Provided is a preparation method for infant cereal, with a special focus on whole grain infant cereals as well as gluten free cereals. There is mounting evidence of many benefits of whole grain consumption for human health. Similarly, consumers often link the term whole grains to healthiness, which becomes a more important factor when selecting an infant cereal brand. Whole grain cereals ought to be presented as early as possible during infancy. Nonetheless, the greatest challenge that food manufacturers are facing is to drive consumers' acceptance, including taste. The complementary infant feeding is unquestionably key in shaping food preferences of infants. Therefore, it is a suitable period in life at which to introduce whole grain cereals for acceptance across the entire lifetime.
