Novel cheese products and methods of producing such cheese products that include a biogenerated exopolysaccharide (EPS) formed in-situ and separate from the main cream cheese fermentation. In some approaches, the methods and cheese products herein build a unique texture and/or microstructure that permits the cheese to utilize a simplified ingredient line while still mimicking the desired organoleptic characteristics of more-conventional, full-ingredient cheese.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for stabilizing and enhancing the viscosity of semisolid compositions, and to the production of stabilized alcohol-containing semisolid food products. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to novel stabilizers for semisolid compositions, to alcohol-containing semisolid food compositions comprising them, and to processes for the preparation and use thereof. Further, the invention in embodiments thereof provides non-liquid food products containing a high alcohol content, which are stable at room temperature and do not necessitate the use of gelling agents or other chemical stabilizers.

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.
