The present disclosure relates to a rework process wherein raw material for making plant-based food products is reprocessed at the early stages of food production, thereby minimizing waste and improving food production. The rework process comprises reprocessing output material from an extruder, comprising cutting and kneading the output and pumping it back into the extruder via a pressure generated by sausage filler for another round of processing via a high moisture extrusion process.

The teachings envision a formulation including two or more edible plant oils or creams; and a product resulting from cooking one or more types of legumes. The formulation may be a condiment spread, topping, or cooking or baking ingredient, such as a butter. The formulation may further include an edible oil, cream, or milk derived from a plant and having a lower fatty acid content than another edible plant oil or cream within the formulation. The formulation may include one or more emulsifying agents, one or more flavoring agents, one or more additives, or a combination thereof. The present teachings also include a process for making the formulation.

The present invention relates to the use of native pea starch precooked by atomisation for the production of creams for pastries.

The use of waste from fruit and/or vegetables extruded at 105° C. to 180° C., namely sugar beet marc and/or apple pomace and/or currant pomace and/or chokeberry pomace and/or soya pomace as an additive to increase the viscosity of foodstuffs.

This disclosure relates for example to meat alternative compositions comprising a plant based meat alternative and a cranberry seed preparation. This disclosure is also related to methods of preparing such meat alternative compositions.

A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition, and retards the rate of oxidation thereof.

A method for processing seeds into a paste-like food product is presented. The method comprises mixing the seeds into the paste-like product by using a mixer, heating the paste-like product by using the mixer, transferring the paste-like product to a tank, and circulating the paste-like product over the tank and a heat exchanger through which a cooling media flows, such that the paste-like product is cooled.

The present invention discloses novel exquisite VCF as well as the inventive methodology for its production. It involves the disruption of the structure of the natural vegan compatible raw material and creation of the VCF structure by sophisticated inventive processing taking advantage of relevant properties of vegan compatible raw material. VCF contain all nutrients and active ingredients of the vegan compatible raw materials used. The composition of such inventive nutrition is adaptable to common and personalized nutritional requirements.

The present invention relates to the field of food technology and in particular, nutrient and bioactive rich plant formulations. Formulated products including nutrients and bioactives such as those provided by the Moringa plant are provided. In particular, coated or encapsulated food products having a spec release behaviour and a process for their production is described. The processes described enable food material, for example Moringa, to be used to provide nutrient dense foods that are more accessible and protected against loss of nutritional value. The resulting food products therefore allow better delivery of nutritional benefits to users.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing tofu by using freeze coagulation and, more specifically, to a method for preparing tofu and tofu prepared by the preparation method, the method comprising the steps of: cooling soymilk to an appropriate temperature; adding an appropriate coagulant into the cooled soymilk; freezing the soymilk into which the coagulant has been added; and maintaining the temperature to be below the freezing point and heating the frozen material after a predetermined time. The tofu according to the present invention has excellent mouthfeel and flavor and can be prepared having a structure and physical properties differentiated from those of conventional tofu.
