The present invention relates to microalgal flour granules, and optionally, lipid-rich microalgal flour.

An object of the present invention is to provide a protein-containing solid food that has both the excellent texture and dietary fiber properties, and the above object is attained by providing a solid food comprising a cyclic tetrasaccharide whose structure is represented by cyclo {.fwdarw.6)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.3)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.6)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1-3)--D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.} and/or a glycosyl derivative thereof, and a protein.

The present invention relates to the formulation and process for preparation of a fried egg product which may be frozen for future heating within a microwave or other oven for consumption by an individual. Various ingredients are added and mixed to each of the liquid egg white and liquid yolk portions. The liquid egg white portion is preheated and then deposited within a mold for slow cooking under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The liquid yolk portion is preheated and then is added to the mold for placement on the egg white portion. Following a short period of cooking the mold containing the formulated fried eggs is transported to a freezer unit for freezing, packaging, and storage. At a future time the frozen formulated fried egg product may be retrieved for thawing and cooking for consumption by an individual.

[Problem] There is provided a processed egg capable of making a puffed egg product which has good restorability when restored with hot water, and a method for identifying such processed egg.

[Means for solution] The processed egg is characterized by having a slope of 20 cP/min or more in viscosity measurement using a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA). The method for identifying a processed egg suitable to be puffed comprises mixing a processed egg and water, measuring viscosity of a mixture of the foregoing step using a rapid visco-analyzer (RVA), and calculating a slope in viscosity change based on a measurement result obtained from the foregoing step

The present technology may include a stabilized mass of egg composition having both yolk and albumin components whipped together and stabilized against separation by highly refined cellulose fiber material. The yolk and albumin components may be whipped into a foam in which at least 1% by volume of the foamed material comprises a gas, such as air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen. The mass may flow as a liquid at 20 C and 760 mm Hg atmospheric pressure and 40% relative humidity. The mass may be in a frozen state. The mass may be in a dried powder state or dried solid mass.
