Provided is a method for producing a food including: a step of mixing a component (A) below, which is one or two selected from the group consisting of a component (A1) and a component (A2), with a food material to obtain a mixture for an outer layer; a step of mixing a food material to obtain a mixture for an inner layer; and a step of wrapping the mixture for an inner layer with the mixture for an outer layer to obtain a food composition. The component (A1) is a starch composition satisfying conditions of (1) to (3): (1) a starch content is equal to or more than 75% by mass; (2) molecular weight-reduced starch of starch having an amylose content of equal to or more than 5% by mass is contained in an amount of equal to or more than 3% by mass and equal to or less than 45% by mass, and a peak molecular weight of the molecular weight-reduced starch is equal to or more than 3×10.sup.3 and equal to or less than 5×10.sup.4; and (3) a degree of swelling in cold water at 25° C. is equal to or more than 5 and equal to or less than 20, and the component (A2) is pregelatinized starch.

The invention relates to method and a device for preparing a carbohydrate and/or protein product by subjecting a carbohydrate and/or protein to a heat treatment after a few ingredients have been added.

Described herein is a meat substitute or food ingredient comprising an animal myoglobin protein, gene construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding said protein, a host cell comprising said gene construct and a method for producing said myoglobin or said meat substitute.

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.

An essentially carbohydrate-free, protein-based flour substitute and methods for preparing the same are disclosed herein. The flour substitute may be used to make pizza crusts, chips, taco shells, tortillas, crackers, sandwich thins, and other food products that are traditionally flour based. The organoleptic properties of the disclosed flour substitute preferably resemble the organoleptic properties of traditional baked goods and are substantially different from the organoleptic properties of traditional meat products. The disclosed flour substitute comprises a meat or nut flour, a flavor-masking spice, salt, and a vegetable, fruit, or plant-based oil or an oil-based spray. The disclosed flour substitute is used to make substitute food products that preferably resemble, in both appearance and taste, the traditional food products that the substitute food products are replacing. The flour substitute is preferably fiber-free and does not contain any other non digestible carbohydrates. Methods of preparing the disclosed flour substitute are also disclosed herein.

This document relates to ground meat replicas, and more particularly to plant-based products that mimic ground meat, including the fibrousness, heterogeneity in texture, beefy flavor, and red-to-brown color transition during cooking of ground meat.

Disclosed are techniques and systems for producing microbials having anaplerotic oils that are rich in odd-chain fatty acids, and other beneficial components, at higher concentrations than those present in other natural dietary sources of OCFA, at lower cost, and higher production yield. Further, disclosed are examples of incorporation of these higher concentration OCFA products into food for human and non-human animal consumption.
