Rolled food products are produced by cutting a dough sheet to form a roll sheet having a continuous pattern. The pattern is comprised of an asymmetrical repeat unit. The roll sheet is transported in a first direction with a conveyor system, and the roll sheet is rolled in a second direction to form a continuous roll. The second direction is not parallel to the first direction. The continuous roll is cut to form a plurality of rolls. Each of the plurality of rolls is asymmetrical.

The invention discloses a method of improving sliceability of a baked product prepared from dough comprising: —incorporating into the dough a glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.18) and/or a cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase; —baking the dough into a baked product; and —slicing the baked product during the cooling period when the baked product has a core temperature of 30-55° C.

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.

Provided herein are methods for producing a mung bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more mung bean proteins from a mung bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.

A snack food that is easier for a dysphagia sufferer to consume may be made from a crisp, structural core that is highly soluble, enrobed in a calorie-dense coating such as chocolate, where the coating helps protect the core from moisture. When the snack food is bitten, the eater's saliva causes the core to disintegrate rapidly, leaving the coating without support and susceptible to rapid reduction to an easy-to-swallow paste.
