The invention relates to a seasoning product and to the use of the seasoning product for cooking food. The seasoning product is an assembly of a sheet of flexible burn resistant material such as a baking paper, and a composition of three layers comprising a first layer of fat, a second layer of flavorings and a third layer of an oil coating of the flavorings.

The present invention includes a method and meat product made by contacting an emulsion with a meat product for a time sufficient to, wherein the emulsion comprises by weight: 10% to 50% water, 0.1 to 4.0% Quillaja, 0.1% to 8% meat flavoring, 60% to 85% high oleic sunflower oil, meat seasoning, 0-2.0% salt, and optionally one or more stabilizers.

Provided herein are methods and compositions related to plant based meat substitutes which have properties similar to meat.

A method for preserving and conditioning beef comprises: cleaning and chopping picked fresh beef, dipping in composite essential oil prepared from clove essential oil, cinnamon essential oil and illicium verum essential oil for 30 s and taking out and draining slightly; placing the beef dipped into a modified atmosphere packaging box and fast precooling; inflating gas of mixed proportion into the cooled modified atmosphere packaging box with beef for preservation packaging and then storing at the low temperature of 0-4 C. The shelf life of the beef packaged by the method is up to 24 d. The aerobic bacterial count is not over 6.0 lgcfu/g. A total volatile basic nitrogen TVB-N value is not over 20 mg/100 g and belongs to the range of second freshness. The beef is stable in color, is cherry-red, has the advantage of good preservation effect and is used for cooking preserved cooked beef.

The present invention relates to a shelf-stable cooking-aid for coating and flying a food product in one step for example in a heating pan, the cooking aid comprising 3-28 wt % oil, 20-60 wt % water, 2.3-5.5 wt % modified starch, 3-15 wt % salt, 0.5-30 wt % sugar and 0.5-30 wt % flavorings and wherein the cooking aid has a viscosity in the range of 8 to 60 Pa.Math.s at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.?1 at 25? C., and the oil and water are in form of an emulsion. Further aspects of the invention are the method for making said cooking-aid as well as a method for coating and flying a food product in a heated pan or heated surface.

It is provided a process for producing a foie gras-free product suitable for roasting as a foie gras bloc or foie gras. The present process comprises at least four tempering phases: Tempering phase A as the first heating phase; tempering phase B as the first cooling phase, tempering phase C as the second heating phase or pasteurization phase; and tempering phase D as the second cooling phase of the pasteurized product. The specific temperature control takes into account the specific properties of the protein-fat matrix of the liver tissue and the added fat components, whereby the creamy and compact structure of the product is achieved.

There are provided a fat lump composition containing a granular body that contains an oil and/or fat having a melting point of 0.1? C. or higher and containing an edible and ionically crosslinkable polymer that is crosslinked with a cation, in which an average particle diameter of the granular bodies is 50 ?m or more and 500 ?m or less; and a meat substitute.

Provided herein are methods for making an extruded protein product using a high-moisture extrusion technique is described. High moisture extrudates described can allow for a high inclusion of oil without disrupting a fibrous structure formation during cooling and provides an improved fatty mouthfeel perception upon consumption. Also provided herein are directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffolds generated from a solution of a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) protein isolate, an additive, and water. Described are compositions where a structure or strength of the directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold is modulated in relation in part to a concentration of the RuBisCO protein isolate and temperatures of setting of the directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold and other additives. The directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold may be post-processed to serve as a whole-cut meat product or is used as a fibrous and protein-rich scaffold for cell culturing to generate a hybrid cultivated meat product.

A cooking aid includes a sheet of flexible burn resistant material and a composition disposed on one face of the sheet. The composition contains a mixture of vegetable or animal oil with a melting point below 20 C., vegetable or animal fat with a melting point above 20 C., and one or more herbs, spices and flavor enhancers.

The invention relates to food technology. Specifically, it discloses a 3D-printed high-protein and prebiotic dietary-fiber-rich finger food adapted to provide balanced nutrition for the elderly and people with swallowing disorders. By including lean meat (e.g., pork), prebiotic dietary-fibers-rich berry pomace, broth, collagen, structured oil as a bigel (biphasic system), salt and seasonings as main raw materials and through pureeing, blending, shaping by extrusion, baking, the 3D-printed product is rich in protein and prebiotic dietary fiber. Further, it is suitable for people with dysphagia, complying International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) level 6, which classifies the product as soft and bite-sized. The invention discloses a method s of producing such 3D-printed food products, from selecting and processing the initial ingredients to ready-to-eat products. The steps include preparing a nutritious formulation with properties suitable for 3D printing, 3D-printing, and heat-treating with specifically defined parameters.
