The invention provides an edible composition for a food forming machine, including flour, powdered sugar, solidified oil, and liquid. In particular, based on 100 parts by weight of the flour, the content of the powdered sugar is 25 parts by weight to 35 parts by weight, the content of the solidified oil is 45 parts by weight to 60 parts by weight, and the content of the liquid is 25 parts by weight to 35 parts by weight. The edible composition for a food forming machine has excellent three-dimensional forming effect.

Described are packaged batter compositions, and related methods, the batter compositions being refrigerator stable in a non-pressurized package. The compositions include a fruit and/or vegetable puree and are suitable for making quick bread and/or muffins. The compositions preferably exclude gums and/or hydrocolloids.

A divalent metal ion salt, such as a calcium salt, for the reduction of browning of a reducing saccharide and/or the formation of acrylamide during heating in the presence of an amine-containing food ingredient: a sweetener composition comprising a divalent metal ion salt and a reducing saccharide: use of a divalent metal ion salt for the reduction of browning and acrylamide formation in a food product comprising a reducing saccharide during heating in the presence of an amine-containing additional food ingredient: a method for reducing browning and acrylamide formation in a food product, wherein the method comprises: a) combining a reducing saccharide with a divalent metal salt and at least one amine-containing additional food ingredient to provide an unheated food product; and b) optionally heating the unheated food product to provide a heated food product; and a food product comprising: a reducing saccharide, a divalent metal ion salt, and an amine-containing additional food ingredient.

A leavening composition which gives an enhanced leavening and reduced use of acidulants comprises (1) an alkali metal bicarbonate, (2) at least 0.1 and preferably at least mole per mole of bicarbonate of a precipitant which is a water-soluble alkaline earth metal salt, and (3) optionally an acidulant, wherein (2) and (3) are present in a total amount from 105 to 800% of the stoichiometric amount that would be required to react fully with (1) in a boiling aqueous solution. In a preferred embodiment the acidulant forms a water insoluble calcium or magnesium salt and is sufficient to provide more than 0.105 g replaceable hydrogen per 100 mmol bicarbonate, and the precipitant is a water soluble calcium or magnesium salt which is capable of precipitating or complexing with said acidulant and is present in an amount sufficient to provide a final pH below 6.5 when the leavening agent is heated in a bakery mix, which allows the inclusion of an effective amount of a preservative.
