The invention relates to a particulate meat seasoning composition comprising: a) 10-70 wt. % of farinaceous component comprising: 5-30% by weight of the farinaceous component of semolina component having a particle size of more than 100 μm to 1,200 μm, said semolina component being selected from wheat semolina, rice semolina, maize semolina, rye semolina, tapioca semolina and combinations thereof; 70-95% of by weight of the farinaceous component of flour component having a particle size of 10 μm to 100 μm, said flour component being selected from wheat flour, rice flour, maize flour, rye flour, tapioca flour and combinations thereof; b) 30-90 wt. % of one or more seasoning ingredients selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium glutamate, spices, herbs, vegetables, fruit, sucrose and yeast extract, inosine 5′-monophosphate, guanosine 5′-monophosphate and protein hydrolysate;
wherein the farinaceous component has a multimodal particle size distribution with at least one maximum below 100 μm and at least one maximum above 100 μm. This particulate meat seasoning composition that can suitably be applied onto meat products, such as steaks and bigger cuts of meat, before these meat products are cooked, e.g. by pan frying and/or roasting in the oven. The seasoning composition not only improves the flavour of the cooked meat product, but also improves the juiciness of the cooked, ready-to-eat meat product.

The present disclosure relates to jackfruit flour prepared from various parts of the jackfruit, which can be used as an additive or a substitute for human consumption, offering reducing in glycemic load, reduced calorie intake, and increased fiber content. Method of preparation of said jackfruit flour, and uses and also described in the instant disclosure.

Disclosed are nutraceutical formulations, including extracts comprising the hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions of stabilized rice bran. Also disclosed are methods for using said nutraceutical formulations for the management or remediation of conditions related to type II diabetes in humans, including methods for decreasing HbA1c and fasting glucose blood concentrations, and for increasing serum fasting insulin levels.

The present disclosure provides a transgenic corn comprising event MON87403 that exhibits increased grain yield. The disclosure also provides cells, plant parts, seeds, plants, commodity products related to the event, and DNA molecules that are unique to the event and were created by the insertion of transgenic DNA into the genome of a corn plant. The disclosure further provides methods for detecting the presence of said corn event nucleotide sequences in a sample, probes and primers for use in detecting nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for the presence of said corn event.

Described herein are soluble rice flour compositions having desirable chemical properties and solubility and viscosity functionality for use in food products such as, beverage mix, infant food, a medicinal product, an emulsion, convenience foods, or a snack-based filling. Such compositions can be used as a partial or complete replacement of maltodextrin and offer a more clean-label alternative.

Provided is an edible oil/fat composition having a bacteriostatic effect in addition to the functions of conventional edible oils and fats. The problem is solved by the edible oil/fat composition characterized by containing 70% by mass or more of an edible oil/fat, 0.002-10% by mass of a lipophilic bacteriostatic agent, and 0.1-10% by mass of an emulsifier.
