Methods for manufacturing a powdered fermented paste, including the steps of: pretreating a fermented paste; freezing the pretreated fermented paste; freeze-drying the frozen fermented paste; grinding the freeze-dried fermented paste; and heat-drying the ground fermented paste.

A food binding agent and a food product comprising the food binding agent and at least one seed, a cereal or a grain.

A foodstuff preparation device may include a roasting chamber having grinding funnel configured for communicating a foodstuff, having a pre-ground particle size, between two or more grinding stones, such as a first grinding stone and a second grinding stone. A grinding motor may be configured to motivate the foodstuff between the two or more grinding stone so that the foodstuff exits from between a first grinding stone and second grinding stone with a first ground particle size, the first ground particle size smaller than the pre-ground particle size. Generally, the device may be configured to prepare foodstuffs, such as sesame seeds, by roasting and grinding them to produce Tahini, or any other similar prepared food. Optionally, the foodstuff may be communicated into the grinding funnel from a dispensing funnel or from a roasting cavity having a heating element configured to govern the temperature of the roasting cavity.

A powdery food containing a sucrose-containing plant with a sucrose content of 2.5 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, has a particle sizes d50 after ultrasonication of 1,000 m or less and has an acetoin content of 1 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less, is provided. The powdery food easily controls the burnt odor derived from sucrose and extract the sweet flavor peculiar to sucrose in a food and drink containing a powder derived from a sucrose-containing plant.

A method for easily controlling dry odors and extracting plant-specific sweet flavors in dry plant powders is provided. A dried plant powder with a dietary fiber content is 5 mass % or more in terms of dry weight, a dimethyl sulfoxide content is 1 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less, d50 of particle size after ultrasonication is 1,000 m or less, a dimethyl sulfide content is 1 ppb or more and 2,000 ppb or less, and a ratio of dimethyl sulfoxide content to dimethyl sulfide content (DMSO concentration/DMS concentration) is 0.001 or more and 180 or less, is provided.

[Problem] To provide a sesame-containing liquid seasoning which has an enhanced aroma unique to sesame and also has an original aroma which is irresistible and addictive. [Solution] The present invention is a liquid seasoning containing sesame, including a linear alkanethiol and a dimethylpyrazine which is at least one of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, wherein the ratio of the peak area of the linear alkanethiol to the peak area of the dimethylpyrazine is 0.05 or more and less than 1.0 when the aroma components of the liquid seasoning are measured by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Such a liquid seasoning shows an enhanced aroma unique to sesame and an original aroma which is irresistible and addictive.

The present invention relates to the food industry, more particularly to technologies of production of dietary supplements (DS).

The object of the present invention is to provide a biological alternative for the whole modern human nutrition.

The object of the present invention is to provide a concentrate for preparation of a cocktail having an increased content of protein and lowered caloricity comprising only natural ingredients.

The technical effect is to increase the shelf life, reduce the allergenic capacity (hypoallergenic characteristics) and increase the range of protein DSs.

The object and the technical effect mentioned above is achieved with the aid of a dry concentrate for preparation of a protein cocktail containing a nut press-cake of nuciculture, a protein source, inuline, a source of soluble fibers, wherein said concentrate also includes a source of insoluble fibers, a vitamin premix, a mineral premix, an antioxidant and at least one auxiliary component, wherein the antioxidant is homogeneously pre-distributed over the particles of the nut press-cake.

A method of making a food product, said method comprising mixing 1.0 to 20.0 wt % flaxseed and 80.0 to 99.0 wt % inclusions in water, wherein the flaxseed has a fat content of less than 30 wt %; shaping the mixture of flaxseed and inclusions by one Nor more of (i) molding, (ii) rolling and cutting, and/or (iii) extruding and cutting; and drying the mixture to form a food product. The invention further relates to a food product comprising between 1.0 to 20.0 wt % flaxseed, wherein said flaxseed comprises less than 30 wt % fat, and wherein said food product is devoid of animal products.

This disclosure pertains to vegan food products comprising liquid coconut material. Liquid coconut material provides an alternative to dairy and eggs normally found in ice cream. Also disclosed herein is a NSF certified device for extracting coconut meat from coconuts.
