The present invention provides a method for removing antinutrients from turmeric spice. The antinutrient such as oxalic acid is removed by using the method of present invention and thus the toxicity associated with it is also eliminated. The method includes preparing the turmeric powder and repetitively extracting the turmeric powder with inorganic acid. The turmeric powder is stirred in a pre-defined volume and pre-determined concentration of the inorganic acid for pre-defined time with constant agitation at pre-determined temperature to obtain a turmeric paste. The turmeric paste is then washed with water and dried to obtain the purified turmeric powder.

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.

A liquid seasoning contains edible plant ingredients and satisfies all of (1)-(5). (1) The amount of edible plant ingredient fraction A that is retained on a 1 -mesh sieve is at least 10 mass%. (2) The amount of edible plant ingredient fraction B that passes through a 1-mesh sieve and is retained on a 200-mesh sieve is 10-80 mass%. (3) The hexanal content of edible plant ingredient fraction A is 1-15000 ppb. (4) The dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) content of edible plant ingredient fraction B is 0.01-1000 ppb. (5) The proportion of the hexanal content of the edible plant ingredient fraction A to the hexanal content of the edible plant ingredient fraction B is greater than 100 mass%. In the liquid seasoning, off-flavors are inhibited from being generated in edible plant ingredients having different sizes. In addition, the liquid seasoning can be preserved for a long period of time.

A process for preparing a total extract which is a mixture of a fresh plant matter with a fatty matter includes a. contacting the fresh plant matter which comprises at least 10% of water by weight relative to its total weight before or after desiccation loss, with the fatty matter chosen from hydrogenated oil or fat at a temperature between 50° C. and 180° C.; b. grinding the plant matter-fatty matter mixture at said temperature between 50° C. to 180° C.; and c. recovering a total extract that is solid or liquid at ambient temperature with a concentration of less than or equal to 4% of water by weight relative to the total weight of the total extract. Extracts recovered from such process and treatments using the extracts are also disclosed.
