A Brassicaceae plant containing a large amount of glucoraphanin is obtained. A first parent plant and a second parent plant, which are both Brassicaceae plants classified into different genera, are crossbred, thereby obtaining an intergeneric crossbred plant. The first parent plant has 5 mg/100 g (fresh weight) or more of glucoraphanin. The second parent plant has a loss-of-function type glucoraphasatin synthase gene.

The present invention concerns a beverage having water and a concentration range of about 0.001 grams per liter to 8.44 grams per liter of collagen, wherein the collagen is hydrolyzed. The collagen concentration range may be between 1 milligram per liter to about 8440 milligram per liter or 1 parts per million to about 8440 parts per million. The hydrolyzed collagen has collagen peptides. The collagen peptides are produced through hydrolysis of a plurality of collagen sources. The plurality of collagen sources are derived from at least one of animal raw materials, animals raised in non-organic or organic farms, animals from various animal species and various parts of the animal carcass. The water may be comprised of at least one of tap water, spring or mineral water, and iceberg or glacier water.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of heat-treated onions composition. In particularly the invention relates to a process for the production of heat-treated onions composition under vacuum between 100 to 750 mbar and wherein the moisture content of the heat-treated onions composition is below 80 wt % (based on total composition).

A method for coating a perishable food product such as fresh fruits and vegetables is disclosed. The coating includes applying a bleached cellulose nanofibers (CNF) composition to the food product. Coating compositions suitable for such methods and coated food products containing the coating are also disclosed. Due to the coating compositions employed, a sustainable packaging for a food product is provided.

A method for drying a food product that results in a highly homogenous, low-moisture content powder having significantly reduced particle size without materially altering the flavor profile and/or the nutritional profile of the food product, including the steps of: (1) providing a food product, wherein the food product comprises a fermentation liquid; (2) optionally filtering the food product; and (3) controllably spray drying the food product at high-temperature.

The invention discloses berry-pomace-powders composition comprising soluble and insoluble dietary fibers which is effective in glucose adsorption, cholesterol and bile acids binding, good antioxidant activity, having excellent technological properties and adapted to be used in food products and provide to consumers dietary fibers without negative effect on the digestibility and bio-accessibility of other nutrients. Also, a method for producing the disclosed berry-pomace-powders compositions comprising high amounts of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers is described. Furthermore, use of the berry-pomace-powder and use examples thereof is provided, for preparation and enrichment of food products. The use examples are enrichment of yogurt, and as food additive into a composition of meat sausages.

Methods to prepare a fruit ferment containing propionic acid and/or a salt thereof comprising i) obtaining a liquid fruit preparation, ii) optionally supplementing the liquid fruit preparation with water and/or with additional components to support fermentation, iii) fermenting the optionally supplemented liquid fruit preparation with a propionic acid-producing bacterial strain, iv) optionally further processing the fermentation product, to obtain the fruit ferment. Next to a propionic acid-producing bacterial strain, a lactic acid-producing bacterial strain may be used in the fermentation. And, a fruit ferment obtainable by said method.

A composition facilitates smooth and efficient intake of a food containing abundant insoluble dietary fibers, including non-edible part, through improvement in its texture and taste. The composition includes a fine particle composite having insoluble dietary fibers and fat/oil. The composition includes edible and inedible parts of a food material. A dry weight ratio of inedible part to edible and inedible part is 1% to 80%. The composition has 0.1 mass % or more of insoluble dietary fibers, a fine particle content of 2 to 98 mass %, a total fat/oil content of 10 to 98 mass %, and less than 20 mass % water. A modal diameter after ultrasonication is 0.3 to 200 ?m, a ratio of specific surface area per unit volume after ultrasonication to minimum particle size after ultrasonication is 0.1 or more, a ratio of specific surface area per unit volume before and after ultrasonication is 0.01 to 0.99.

The present invention includes meat chips and methods of making meat chips comprising: blending a meat product and a high oleic oil, and optionally a seasoning, into a meat batter; extruding the meat batter into a casing; cooking to the meat batter; slicing the meat batter into meat slices; and microwaving at a temperature not exceeding 200? F. the meat slices into a meat chip.
