A system and method for assisting a user in assembling a culinary combination according to a recipe. The system comprises a scale and a computing device configured to communicate with the scale. The system displays information regarding ingredients of the recipe and displays a progress of assembling the culinary combination based on the information from the scale. In some embodiments, a bar graph is displayed with a bar proportional to the measured amount of an ingredient of the recipe compared to a target amount for the ingredient. In some embodiments, the system displays a build column of one or more recipe blocks, representing actions or ingredients of the recipe. An active recipe block is displayed with a portion of the recipe block displayed in a different manner in proportion to the measured amount of an ingredient of the recipe compared to a target amount for the ingredient.

Methods for culturing filamentous fungi, in which the filamentous fungi are grown in a colloid of air and a fermentation medium, are provided. The methods result in more rapid and prolific growth of the filamentous fungus than has been achieved by previous methods. Biomats produced by the methods and air-medium colloids for use in the methods are also provided.

A bending mechanism, a bending method and a food manufacturing method which are capable of bending a sheet-shaped flexible food material, such as a skin, with high accuracy and high speed are provided. A conveyance unit 11 conveys a flexible food material 81. A support unit 12 supports a bending reference portion 85 being a part of the flexible food material 81 in at least a part of a section while the flexible food material 81 is conveyed from a first conveyance area A1 to a second conveyance area A2. The conveyance unit 11 includes a first component part 21 and a second component part 22. An angle formed by a support portion of the second component part 22 which makes contact with a bending portion 87 with respect to a support portion of the first component part 21 which makes contact with a base portion 86 continuously changes from the first conveyance area A1 toward the second conveyance area A2 in such a manner that an angle of the bending portion 87 with respect to the base portion 86 in the second conveyance area A2 is larger than an angle of the bending portion 87 with respect to the base portion 86 in the first conveyance area A1.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an albumen hydrolysate that has emulsifiability, emulsion stability and heat coagulability. An albumen hydrolysate obtained by hydrolysis of albumen with a protease, wherein the dry weight of a precipitate formed by adding nine times the amount of 0.4 M trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to the albumen hydrolysate is 60% or more relative to the dry weight of albumen treated in the same manner.

Disclosed herein is a composition for forming an aerated ready-to-eat food product quiescently and in ambient environmental conditions. The composition comprises a matrix forming system which is capable of forming a matrix defining a structure of the food product at ambient environmental conditions upon exposure to a liquid. The composition also comprises an aerating system comprising an acidulant which is capable of acidulating at ambient environmental conditions at a rate that is similar to a rate at which the matrix is formed upon exposure to a liquid, and an alkali which is capable of reacting with the acidulant to form an aerating gas.

The present invention provides novel non-diary frozen desserts and methods of preparation thereof, the method including forming a first mixture by mixing water and stabilizer, mixing ingredients with the first mixture to form a light mix, folding the light mix with at least one pre-pasteurized egg product to form a heavy mix and freezing the heavy mix for less than twenty minutes to form the non-dairy frozen dessert.

A blowout suppressing agent for a deep fried food includes a component A satisfying conditions of (1) to (4) below: (1) a starch content is equal to or more than 75% by mass; (2) equal to or more than 3% by mass and equal to or less than 45% by mass of molecular weight-reduced starch of starch having an amylose content of equal to or more than 5% by mass is contained, where the molecular weight-reduced starch has a peak molecular weight of equal to or more than 3×10.sup.3 and equal to or less than 5×10.sup.4, (3) a degree of swelling in cold water at 25° C. is equal to or more than 5 and equal to or less than 20, and (4) a content on a sieve having a mesh size of 0.075 mm and under a sieve having a mesh size of 0.5 mm is equal to or more than 30% by mass and equal to or less than 100% by mass.

The invention relates to a CBD-containing liquid formulation, and in particular to a beverage comprising at least one emulsifier.

A fiber manufacturing apparatus includes: a fiber manufacturing portion including a first operation unit including a first operation surface and a second operation unit including a second operation surface facing the first operation surface, wherein at least one of the first operation unit and the second operation unit performs a reciprocating motion to manufacture a fiber between the first operation surface and the second operation surface; and a fiber collecting portion configured to collect the fiber manufactured between the first operation surface and the second operation surface, wherein at least one of the first operation surface and the second operation surface includes a polymer solution.
