The presently claimed invention provides a use of a composition comprising protein hydrolysate or protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid as whipping agent. The invention further relates to a method for aerating a carbohydrate containing food product by adding one protein hydrolysate or at least one protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid and its salts thereof. The invention also relates to the process of preparing a composition comprising at least one protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid and its salts thereof.

There is provided a bread mix for household use, containing, relative to the total mass of the mix, at least 50 mass % of strong flour, 5 to 20 mass % of gluten, and 15 to 25 mass % of a resistant starch-containing material having a dietary fiber content of at least 70 mass %. The bread mix preferably further contains 0.001 to 0.1 mass % of an emulsifier. The bread mix is preferably for use in breadmaking by the straight dough method. The bread mix is preferably for use in breadmaking with a breadmaker.

The present invention relates to a structured oil-in-water emulsion for use in a food product, a food product, such as a bakery product, comprising the same, and a method of preparing the food product and the emulsion itself. In one aspect the present invention provides an oil-in-water structured emulsion for use in a food product; said structured emulsion comprising: i) from 1 to 8 wt. % emulsifier; ii) from 8 to 55 wt. % of sugar and/or sugar alcohol; iii) from 12 to 40 wt. % water; and iv) from 25 to 70 wt. % oil.

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

A conditioner of doughs for baked and other bakery products, which fully or partially replaces the fat in such products is provided. Furthermore, a process of producing such a conditioner is provided. The conditioner makes it possible to strengthen the doughs, making them more tolerant to all the stresses to which they are subjected during their passage through the machines, during transport, transfers, until their arrival at the baking process or final application. By improving the behavior of the dough, gas retention is favored, making it possible to obtain products of greater volume, with a finer and more even crumb, while increasing shelf life and preventing starch retrogradation. Its appearance is similar to that of a fat (semi-solid) with the color and aroma of a lipid.

The invention relates to a granular de-dusting material comprising 30-60 wt. % cold-swelling potato starch, 5-40 wt. % vegetable oil, 5-35 wt. % flour, all weight percentages based on dry weight of the granular de-dusting material. The invention further relates to a method for preparing a de-dusted enzyme product, comprising contacting a granular enzyme preparation, containing dust particles, with a granular dedusting material according to the invention, whereby the dust particles adhere to the granular de-dusting material, whereby the de-dusted enzyme product is obtained. The invention further relates to a de-dusted enzyme product.

A possibility to enhance the action of transglutaminase by helping the formation of peptide bonds with the glutamine present in the wheat flour, directed to a bakery pre-mix composition including pea protein and transglutaminase and a carrier, and a flour formulation including wheat flour, transglutaminase and pea protein. It was found that with the flour formulation a dough could be prepared with an improved process tolerance. The baked products prepared by baking the dough were found to have an improved crumb structure.

The present invention relates to a granular food ingredient, and a method for making a granular food ingredient. The granular food ingredient is low in carbohydrate and fat. The granular food ingredient can be used as the basis for manufacturing a variety of food products which are traditionally made using flour.

The present invention provides a method of producing a baked product having reduced crumb elasticity, said method comprising adding a raw starch degrading alpha-amylase, a lipase and a phospholipase to dough ingredients comprising flour, water, and yeast and mixing to prepare a dough; leavening the dough; and baking the dough to obtain the baked product.

Provided herein are methods for producing an adzuki bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more adzuki bean proteins from an adzuki bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.
