A dry aquafaba based powder is disclosed. The dry aquafaba based powder may include, aquafaba and an additive. The additive may be at least one of: a carbohydrate, a legume protein, legumes starch, legume fibers, maltodextrin, inulin, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the aquafaba is produced from a legume. The legume may be at least one of: chickpeas, beans, soybeans, peas, lentils, lupins, and a combination thereof.

Methods of improving mammalian carbohydrate metabolism and treating, preventing, or halting the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus involve the consumption of a nutritional composition containing fruit or vegetable pomace. The pomace is produced from native plant tissue and contains a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. Periodic consumption of the composition normalizes blood glucose concentration and controls body weight.

A technique for processing ancient, heritage and modern wheat, grains, seeds, beans, legumes, tuber and root vegetables create baking flours suitable for human consumption. The initial ingredient is incubated to initiate germination and activate internal enzymes and nutrient production for useful enzymes, proteins and nutrients. Germination is terminated and the product wet-milled to fracture or shear the outer hull, exposing the inner grain. The product is mixed with water at varying temperatures during which amylase is added. The mixture is incubated to facilitate saccharification of starches into sugars by the amylase enzymes. The mixture is pasteurized to denature the amylases and the mash pressed and/or strained to separate the liquid and solids. The solid phase is dried and milled into higher fiber, high protein, low carbohydrate flour. The liquid is carbohydrate-rich with substantial fiber, protein and other nutrients dissolved in the solution.

A ready-to-use emulsified food formulation containing a vegetable in a finely divided form, vegetable oil, water, and an oleaginous seed in a finely divided form and, present in an amount of between 0.1% and 15% by weight, is disclosed. The emulsified food formulation is free of thickeners, emulsifiers and stabilizers and is obtained by homogenization carried out at a pressure greater than or equal to 10000 kPa. The emulsified food formulation is characterized by having a modal diameter of the particles contained therein of greater than or equal to 300 μm and by containing a vegetable fiber in a finely divided form having a fiber content of greater than (70)% w/w and a water binding capacity of greater than 5 g water/g dry matter.

The invention relates to a dietary fiber rich composition derived from plants parts, preferably from ginger, turmeric and Emblica. The composition has at least 45% dietary fiber and most of it is insoluble fibre. The insoluble fibre mostly comprises of resistant starch, the composition has at least 15% resistant starch. The invention also relates to a method of extracting and enrichment of fibre from plant parts. The method further includes solvent extraction, acid treatment and enzymatic treatment. The Starch in the composition either enriched and/or chemical modified. The composition has a place in novel food products, for food processing purposes, as functional food, dietary supplementation purposes and pharmaceutical preparations. Composition has clinically significant activity towards fat loss, blood glucose regulation, inhibiting inflammation and enhance bioavailability.
