Norovirus antibody
An antibody is provided that inhibits infection of cells with a norovirus. The antibody is a nanoantibody comprising a polypeptide described in (a), (b), or (c), and inhibiting infection of intestinal cells with HuNoV GII.4: (a) a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, or SEQ ID NO: 13; (b) a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence comprising a substitution, deletion, insertion and/or addition of one or several amino acids with respect to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, or SEQ ID NO: 13; and (c) a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of 80% or more to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, or SEQ ID NO: 13.
Functionally enhanced flours, grits, and food products and methods of making and using same
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.
METHOD FOR OBTAINING NATURAL COLOURING DERIVED FROM SAFFRON AND PRODUCT THUS OBTAINED
The invention relates to a method for obtaining food colouring derived from saffron, which is based on: the use of saffron threads that are ground and mixed with a base of corn flour, wheat flour, maltodextrin or similar, in a process in which, during mixing, an alcoholic liquid is added to promote the transfer of the colour; and subsequent drying with warm air to produce a product with units of saffron colour and aroma that vary according to the proportions of saffron and base used.
Extruded Gelling Food Products, Extruded Gelling Food Product Ingredients, and Methods for Making Extruded Gelling Food Products and Extruded Food Product Ingredients
The present invention is directed to an extruded food product constituent composed of a gelling food product constituent extrudate and method of extruding a gelling food product constituent extrudate used as an ingredient of a food product normally using a gelling gum, like guar gum, xanthan gum or carrageenan as an ingredient. The gelling food product extrudate is composed of cold-water soluble gelling pregelatinized starch formed of starch in a starch-containing admixture modified by extrusion at extrusion pressures greater than 2000 PSI that gels when mixed with water, which preferably also modifies additional starch or starches in the admixture into a plurality of different molecular weight polymers of a cold-water soluble gellant that polymerize forming a gel when mixed with water, preferably forming a hydrocolloid gel, which more preferably is a self-gelling gel, which even more preferably is a thermo-reversible gel crosslinked by one or more proteins freed by or modified during extrusion. Preferred admixtures configured to produce gelling extrudates include admixtures composed of cereal grains, including sorghum, wheat, oats, barley and/or corn, and/or legumes, including chick pea, yellow pea, pea and/or lentils with legume containing admixtures producing gelling extrudates that form thicker gels whose viscosity increases over time that are well suited for use in non-dairy dairy substitutes like non-dairy butter, non-dairy creamers, non-dairy whipped cream, non-dairy yogurt, non-dairy cream cheese, non-dairy cheese, and non-dairy ice cream.
Cereal Compositions Containing Human Milk Oligosaccharides
Disclosed is a cereal composition which can be prepared instantly with the addition of a liquid, containing at least one human milk oligosaccharide (HMO), and other components which are necessary for the healthy growth and development of a young 5 individual.
Composition containing fine food particulate complexes, and method for producing same
A method for producing a food product includes preparing a mixture including one or more dried food ingredients and at least one oil or fat, wherein a total fat content in the mixture is 30% by mass or more, wet pulverizing the dried food ingredients in the mixture, and obtaining a food composition including the at least one oil or fat and 20% to 98% by mass of fine particles of the dried food ingredients. The wet pulverization is performed with a maximum pressure of 0.01 to 1 MPa and under a rising temperature condition satisfying T1+1<T2<T1+50. The fine particles subjected to an ultrasonication treatment have a modal diameter of 0.3 to 200 μm and a decreased maximum particle size. A 10.sup.th percentile value of a numerical value N for each fine particle complex is 0.40 or less.
