Disclosed herein are non-egg compositions that can be used as egg substitutes. The disclosure is directed to egg substitutes and methods of manufacturing the same, and compositions comprising the egg substitutes, including edible compositions such as baked goods and edible emulsions.

Baked confectionery containing insoluble dietary fiber in an amount of from 5.0 to 20.0 mass % and starch in an amount of from 20 to 45 mass %, wherein a content of gliadin in the baked confectionery is 1.1 mass % or less, and the insoluble dietary fiber contains insoluble dietary fiber derived from bran of wheat variety.

The disclosure discloses a production process and application of fermented tapioca starch for baking, and belongs to the fields of starch deep processing and food processing and production. The disclosure develops a production method of the fermented tapioca starch for baking. The method includes simple steps and greatly shortens a process cycle. By using tapioca starch as a main raw material and adding a specific amount of carbon source and a specific strain, under the action of fermentation and illumination in cooperation, the structure of the starch is improved. By adding the fermented tapioca starch, the effects of increasing the size of gluten-free Mochi bread, increasing pores of the bread and improving the texture and taste of the bread are realized.

Disclosed herein is a method for producing a microencapsulated non-starch polysaccharide substitute for flour. The method comprises: (i) dispersing a food-grade starch into a medium at a concentration from the range of about 2% to about 50% by weight to form a food-grade starch dispersion; (ii) mixing the food-grade starch dispersion with non-starch polysaccharide particles such that the food-grade starch microencapsulates the non-starch polysaccharide particles to form microencapsulated non-starch polysaccharide particles; and (iii) drying the microencapsulated non-starch polysaccharide particles. The microencapsulated non-starch polysaccharide particles may be used as a replacement (or a partial replacement) for flour to increase the fiber content while reducing the caloric availability of baked foodstuffs, pastas, and the like.

Flour compositions that are free of gluten, grain, eggs and dairy are disclosed using a macronutrient level process and choosing gluten free and grain free ingredients that provide a macronutrient level as close to wheat flour as possible. Disclosed are gluten free and grain free flour products that closely match the macronutrient level of the wheat flour as well as other desirable attributes of a flour composition and products made therefrom.

The disclosed subject matter provides batter compositions, food package kits comprising batter compositions, and methods of preparing such batter compositions and kits.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a composite brownie and cookie comestible product, the method comprising: providing a plurality of cookie dough slabs having a mean diameter of from 7-15 mm; forming a layer of brownie dough; depositing the slabs of cookie dough to provide a substantially complete layer across an upper surface of the brownie dough and to thereby form a composite dough product, wherein the composite dough product has a ratio of brownie dough to cookie dough of from 5:5 to 9:1 by weight; baking the composite dough product to form a composite brownie and cookie comestible product.

The present invention relates generally to the field of food and nutrition. In particular, the present invention relates to gluten-free food product. Pizza is a very popular food globally. Gluten-free pizza has recently become available. The present invention provides a gluten-free pizza crust with a light, aerated and, yet, crispy structure. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a gluten-free pizza crust made from a gluten-free pizza dough comprising gluten free wheat starch, salt, yeast and water, wherein the pizza dough was proofed for at least 15 minutes.

The present invention relates to a dry powder composition comprising particles of a carrier material coated with a fatty acid glyceride, a dry bakery pre-mix comprising the composition, a method of making the composition and its use to make bakery products.

Gluten-free starch with increased total dietary fiber and methods of producing such starch are disclosed. More particularly, the starch contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten and at least 85% total dietary fiber. In some embodiments, the starch is derived from a source naturally containing gluten; in others, the starch is derived from a source which is naturally gluten-free but potentially contaminated or commingled with a gluten source. A method of making gluten-free resistant starch is disclosed, the method comprising: providing an initial starch containing a gluten protein; mixing the initial starch with water to produce an initial starch slurry; heating the starch slurry; adding an agent to dissolve or degrade the gluten protein to yield a slurry containing starch and degraded gluten protein; mixing sodium sulfate and STMP with the starch slurry; raising pH of the slurry to about pH of about 11-13; increasing heat to 115 F. while maintaining pH 11-13 for 1-24 hours; reducing pH to 6 by addition of acid and washing and separating starch from the slurry.
