A process is disclosed for creating a shelf-stable, grain-free, plant-based food composition with a crisp texture and integrated seasoning. The food compositions taught herein exhibit a low moisture content, high fiber content, and a desirable crispness that is maintained even when combined with milk or milk alternatives, enabling use as a grain-free breakfast cereal.

The present disclosure provides a three-dimensional food printing method which improves printing quality and enhances user convenience. The three-dimensional food printing method includes receiving an input of a two-dimensional image from a user terminal, generating a three-dimensional modeling file based on the input two-dimensional image, receiving an input of a type of a formulation including food ingredients from the user terminal, determining output parameters corresponding to the type of the formulation, generating printing command data by performing slicing based on the determined output parameters and the generated three-dimensional modeling file, and transmitting the printing command data to a three-dimensional food printing device.

The present invention relates to dry citrus fibers having a moisture content of at most 20 wt % relative to the total amount of citrus fiber and having a storage modulus (G) of at least 280 Pa, wherein said dry citrus fibers have a pH of between 4.0 and 8.7.

A low-salt fasting-mimicking diet (LS-FMD) is provided for promoting kidney regeneration and treating kidney disease. The LS-FMD comprises cyclic dietary interventions that reduce caloric and sodium intake to induce fasting-like metabolic effects while maintaining essential nutrition. In animal models of puromycin-induced nephrosis, LS-FMD cycles restore normal proteinuria levels and improve nephron structure and function relative to untreated controls. The diet activates kidney-specific gene expression programs and promotes a quiescent, non-proliferative state in mature podocytes, supporting renal recovery. In human subjects with chronic kidney disease, administration of fasting-mimicking diet cycles for five days per month over three months reduces proteinuria and improves endothelial function. The invention demonstrates that kidney-specific fasting-mimicking dietary cycles have therapeutic potential for slowing or reversing progressive renal disorders.

Methods of making stable, dry coated fruit powders are provided. The methods include providing a fruit powder; selecting a hydrophobic stearate guest particle from the group consisting of ammonium stearate, zinc stearate, calcium stearate, sodium stearate, potassium stearate, magnesium stearate, glyceryl stearate, propylene glycol monostearate, sorbitan stearate, triglyceryl monostearate, hexaglyceryl distearate, and decaglyceryl monostearate; and dry coating the fruit powder with the hydrophobic stearate guest particles using high shear. The hydrophobic stearate guest particles are dry coated with respect to the fruit powder at levels between about 1 and 10 wt % in order to form a continuous layer.

A fasting mimicking diet package providing daily meal portions for a predetermined number of days is provided. The fasting mimicking diet package includes a kale cracker composition, a first vegetable broth composition, a mushroom soup composition, a tomato soup composition, a quinoa-containing minestrone soup composition, a bean-containing minestrone soup composition, and a pumpkin soup composition. Characteristically, the daily meal portions are packaged into meal servings or into a total daily serving to be divided into meals.

A method for manufacturing solid gochujang according to a disclosed embodiment includes evaporating moisture from gochujang that has fluidity by containing moisture, and cooling the gochujang that has fluidity equal to or less than a predetermined threshold as the moisture is evaporated.

A shelf stable fried product and a process for creating a shelf stable fried product is disclosed. Aspects include a process for managing fat migration, moisture migration, and cell degrading of a food product during frying. Aspects further include a resulting shelf stable food product that includes a crispy and/or crunchy texture and a desirable fat distribution.
