A flour made using an admixture composed of starch-containing grain, seed or fruit of a cereal grain or grain legume of low water content extruded in a single screw extruder at an ultra-high extrusion pressure producing an extruded functionally enhanced flour usable as an instantized flour by only adding water. When water is added, the flour forms a paste or dough that is three dimensionally formed or shaped into food products that can be cooked or baked in an oven into human or animal edible food products. The extruded functionally enhanced instantized flour also can be used as an ingredient in other edible food products. A preferred extruded functionally enhanced instant flour is extruded at ultra-high pressure from an admixture composed substantially completely of one or more cereal grains and/or legumes using only the moisture present in the cereal grains and/or legumes.

A nucleotide is useful in preparation of drugs for preventing and treating allergic rhinitis and other diseases or in functional foods for relieving allergic rhinitis symptoms. The nucleotide is a mixture of five nucleotides, i.e., CMP, AMP, UMP, GMP and IMP, with a small molecular weight, rapid absorption into the human body and high bioavailability. The intake of nucleotide can play a role of treating allergic diseases by alleviating allergic rhinitis symptoms, relieving allergy-induced splenomegaly, significantly reducing histamine levels in serum and nasal lavage fluid, and effectively regulating inflammatory factors.

The disclosure relates to a series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found at one or more of the Lip1 genes of a plant; plants having these mutations in one or more of their Lip1 genes; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of Lip1 by screening pooled and/or individual plants. The plants disclosed herein exhibit decreased lipase activity without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. Additionally, products produced from the plants disclosed herein exhibit increased hydrolytic and oxidative stability and increased shelf life without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

A packaged refrigerated gluten-free dough composition comprises at least one gluten-free flour source in at least 35% by weight of the composition, at least one starch source in at least 2% by weight of the composition and at least one protein source in about 0.5% to 13% by weight of the composition and at least 17 grams of glutamic acid per 100 grams of the protein, at least one fat source from 4% to 10% by weight of the composition and water from 25% to 35% by weight of the composition. The dough has an average storage modulus ranging from about 45 kPa to about 60 kPa at about 40° F. and an average loss modulus ranging from about 10 kPa to about 20 kPa at about 40° F. after at least 24 hours of storage at about 40° F., and is substantially free of gluten protein.

A process is described for the production of shortbread-type cookies, characterised in that it comprises the steps of: mixing the ingredients of a cookie dough, forming the cookie dough to form semi-finished products, baking the semi-finished products formed from the dough, thus obtaining the cookies, cooling the cookies obtained and packaging of the cookies; wherein the step of baking the semi-finished products comprises a step of exposure thereof to a hot gas consisting of hot air and superheated steam, blown directly on the semi-finished products by means of an impingement system; a description is also given of a cookie comprising, in weight per total weight, a dietary fibre content comprised between 1 and 25%, a lipids content comprised between 4 and 23% and a simple sugars content comprised between 8 and 26%.

The present invention relates to the production of edible wafers comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a flour that comprises at least 5% by weight of the total flour of a non-wheat flour (such as millet; maize, barley, oats, rice, rye and/or soybeans) and/or at least 5% by weight of the total flour of a soluble fibre; (ii) an amount of water 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 1.5; 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. Preferably the flour has a low amount of (preferably is free of) gluten and/or gliadin proteins.

The breadmaking product free of gluten and lactose includes a main dough with: water; tapioca starch; rice flour; corn starch; sunflower oil; egg white; enzyme-active soy flour; fresh yeast; dextrose; salt; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; psyllium husk fibre; xanthan gum; and a mother dough with millet flour and/or sorghum, and amaranth, salt and bacteria, fermented for 16 hours at 28° C. and matured for 24 hours at 5° C. The product is produced by mixing water, the mother dough, the oil and the egg white in a mixer for five minutes at a speed of 45 RPM, with the rest of the ingredients for three minutes at 45 RPM, and with the yeast for five minutes at 90 RPM. Each bread is shaped and left to ferment at 24° C. with 90% humidity, baked at 180° C. and cooled at 8° C.
