The present invention relates to the production of edible wafers having a density of at least 35 mg/cm.sup.3 the wafer comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a flour; (ii) a low amount of water, in an amount so the weight ratio of total amount of water to total amount of flour in the batter (denoted herein as R[w/f]) is no more than 0.8; and (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight; where the batter has a viscosity of from 200 to 1900 cps so it can be both pumped and baked on a heated surface without spillage.

The present invention provides in methods for preparing a cake batter or a cake product prepared from the batter, comprising adding in any order one or more raw starch degrading alpha-amylases and one or more phospholipases to cake batter ingredients, and preparing the cake batter. Also, cake batters or cake products comprising one or more raw starch degrading alpha-amylases and one or more phospholipases are provided herein.

A cooked, bread like product is provided. The product is formed initially as a pourable batter that has an increasing consistency with time, effected by the use of a fast acting hydrocolloid in combination with a slow acting hydrocolloid and proofing. The cooked product can be used in combination with a topping to form a product like a pizza.

The quality of a cake quality may deteriorate if the amount of eggs in the recipe is reduced. This deterioration can be counteracted by adding a phospholipase to the cake batter, as seen by an increased cake volume and improved cake properties after storage, e.g. increased cohesiveness, increased springiness, and increased elasticity. The cake quality (as measured by these parameters) can be further improved, even up to the level of the original cake, by adding a non-egg protein together with the phospholipase. Accordingly, a cake is prepared by a method, comprising: a) preparing a cake batter by mixing cake batter ingredients, said ingredients comprising non-phospholipase treated egg lecithin and phospholipase, and b) baking the cake batter to make the cake.

Described are flour-based oil-in-water emulsion compositions, packaged emulsion compositions, and related methods, the emulsions being refrigerator stable in a non-pressurized package and optionally containing ingredients that include glucose oxidase, the package optionally being re-sealable.

The disclosure discloses a nutritional cereal-based food with low glycemic load and processing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of processing of healthy foods. According to the disclosure, bulk grain crops are used as raw materials and mixed with a natural plant extract with the content of 3-deoxyanthocyanidin more than 3 mg/100 g and a sulfur-rich plant or animal protein, so that in-situ encapsulation of starch granules is achieved through an interaction of a sulfur-containing protein and 3-deoxyanthocyanidin, and a grain-source nutritional food for special dietary uses with low GI. According to the method of the disclosure, not only is the process environmentally friendly, operation procedures are simple, but also slow release of blood glucose after a meal is achieved by using the product, and the product can be used as a meal replacement food for people with abnormal glucose metabolism and the like.
