Provided is novel use of an allulose disaccharide.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an allulose syrup containing allulose at a product concentration of more than 70 wt.-%, relative to the total weight of the allulose syrup, the process comprising the steps of (a) providing an aqueous solution containing allulose at an educt concentration of at most 70 wt.-%, relative to the total weight of the solution; and (b) evaporating water at a temperature of the solution of less than 60° C. and under reduced pressure thereby increasing the concentration of allulose in the aqueous solution starting from the educt concentration until the product concentration is reached.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of starch processing, and in particular relates to slowly digestible starch (SDS) and a preparation method and use thereof. The SDS includes a starch granule and a non-starch polysaccharide coating coated on a surface of the starch granule. In the present disclosure, the non-starch polysaccharide coating coated on the surface of the starch granule can prevent an amylase from contacting the starch granule, increasing contents of the SDS and resistant starch (RS) in the SDS. Therefore, the SDS can delay a digestion process, increase a digestion time of the starch, and reduce the increase of blood glucose and insulin levels after the starch is digested and absorbed.

A liquid egg analog has a composition comprising water, lupin protein, pea protein, oil, high acyl and low acyl gellan gum, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, isomaltooligosaccharide, acidulant, and divalent cations of magnesium and calcium. A method of preparing the liquid egg analog combines water, lupin protein and pea protein to produce a protein mix, combines water and gellan gums to produce a gel mix, and combines the protein mix and gel mix with the remaining ingredients to produce a combined mixture. The combined mixture may then be pasteurized, cooled and bottled.

The invention provides a savoury concentrate comprising: a) at least 30 wt. %, by weight of the concentrate, of an oil phase comprising liquid oil; b) 3-30 wt. %, by weight of the concentrate, of edible salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride and combinations thereof; c) 1-50 wt. %, by weight of the concentrate, of savoury taste giving ingredients selected from glutamate, 5′-ribonucleotides, sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactic acid, citric acid and combinations thereof; d) up to 10 wt. %, by weight of the concentrate, of water; and e) particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material from plant tissue selected from parenchymal plant tissue, stem tissue of monocotyledon plants and combinations thereof, said particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material having a particle size of between 25 μm and 500 μm;
wherein the particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material is dispersed in the oil phase in a concentration of 0.05 to 15 wt. %, by weight of the liquid oil. The particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material from parenchymal pant tissue and/or stem tissue of monocotyledon plants is capable of forming an oil-retaining matrix within the liquid oil and thereby minimize oil exudation.
