The present invention discloses an antifreeze solution for food preservation, which comprises edible alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, amino acid, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate with an average molecular weight of 50-100 KDa, surfactant and water, wherein the surfactant is one or more of phospholipid, Tween-20, Tween-60, and Tween-80; each component is food grade, and the mass percentage is expressed as follows: alcohol 15-30%, propylene glycol 10-30%, glycerol 2-15%, calcium chloride 1-10%, sodium chloride 3-10%, amino acid 0.1-0.15%, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate 0.01-0.3%, surfactant 0.005-0.5%, and the balance is water. The antifreeze solution provided by the present invention can lower the freezing point, improve the heat transfer efficiency, inhibit the crystallization of antifreeze solution during the low temperature stirring process and improve the stability of the antifreeze solution.

The present application relates to a microcapsule comprising a core comprising one or more hydrophobic agents dispersed in a gel matrix; a proteolytically-cleavable outer polymer shell surrounding said core; and an enzymatically-cleavable lipid layer between said core and said shell. Also described are methods of making and using the microcapsules.

The present invention concerns the field of processed cheese compositions, and, more particularly, relates to reduced salt processed cheese compositions. The present invention derives from the surprising finding that potassium lactate can be used in the manufacture of processed cheese compositions with reduced sodium content, without detrimental consequences on the taste of the final product. A processed cheese composition according to the invention imparts to the final product an improved flavour perception, as well as strengthening salty, savoury and cheesy taste. An additional surprising finding of the method of the invention is that the use of potassium lactate according to the invention has beneficial consequences on the safety and shelf life of the final product. The use of potassium lactate, in particular potassium lactate in the form of a fermentation product in accordance with the invention, also obviates the need to incorporate artificial flavorings and flavor enhancers, which results in a product with an improved label.

In the present invention, a sugar product containing L-arabinose and preparing and using methods thereof are provided. The sugar product comprises an edible sugar particle and an L-arabinose enclosing a surface of the edible sugar particle. The edible sugar particle has a particle diameter of 0.15 mm0.25 mm; the L-arabinose has an enclosing thickness of 0.001 mm0.08 mm; and in each mass part of the sugar product, the edible sugar particle accounts for 80%99% in mass percentage, and a dry matter of the L-arabinose accounts for 1%20% in mass percentage. With the solution as provided in the present invention, the uniformity of distribution of the L-arabinose on the surface of the edible sugar is improved.

The invention relates to a process of preparing a shaped savoury concentrate having a water activity of less than 0.8 and a total fat content of 10-35 wt. %, said process comprising: a) mixing the following ingredients to prepare a fat containing powder mixture: edible salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride and combinations thereof, one or more particulate ingredients selected from sugars, glutamate, flour, starch, plant pieces and combinations thereof, and liquid or molten fat, said fat comprising at least 30 wt. % of vegetable oil; b) mixing the fat containing powder mixture with an edible polar liquid to produce a paste; c) optionally mixing the paste with edible components selected from fat, garnish and combinations thereof; and d) forming the paste into shaped articles by means of extrusion. The invention also relates to an extruded shaped savoury concentrate that retains its shape at elevated temperatures.

The invention relates to an oil-continuous savoury concentrate comprising: 24-85 wt. % of fat by weight of the total concentrate, said fat having a solid fat content at 20 C. (N20) of at least 2 wt % (the solid fat is expressed as wt % by weight of the total amount of fat in the savoury concentrate); 8-50 wt. % of water by weight of the total concentrate; 0.1-20 wt % of water structuring agent by weight of the amount of water in the concentrate; 0.2-3 mol per 100 g of water of alkalimetal cation selected from Na+, K+ and combinations thereof; 0.2-3 mol chloride anion per 100 g of water; wherein fat and water are present in a weight/weight ratio fat to water of at least 2:3, preferably of at least 3:4. The savoury concentrate of the present invention can suitably be used as a base for the preparation of, for instance, soups and sauces. The savoury concentrate is ambient stable and despite the fact that it contains a substantial amount of salt, it exhibits a reduced tendency to form particles of crystalline salt.
