A food additive composition comprising flour or meal made from seeds of a plant of the genus Plantago, wherein the ?-3 to ?-6 fatty acid molar ratio of the seeds is at least 2.0:1.

Provided is an expanded food that does not substantially contain a wheat-derived protein, a dough composition for use in the production of the expanded food, and a method for producing expanded food by using the dough composition. The dough composition of the present invention comprises at least the following ingredients and does not substantially comprise a wheat-derived protein: (a) a milk protein in a proportion of 90 mass % or more based on the total protein; (b) a starch; (c) a leavening agent; and (d) water, wherein the dough composition is expanded by heat treatment to form a support matrix.

The invention relates to a method, a control and/or regulating device, a device and products as well as the use of such products. It is shown how gas-foamed products are manufactured from doughs or from pastes in an elongated process space and how the static pressure required for the gas dissolution is maintained in the process space up to the outlet opening and the foaming in the dough or in the paste is not initiated in a targeted manner under predetermined process conditions until the product exits from a metering valve device connected downstream of the process space and the pressure is reduced.

There are provided a filling-wrapping dough sheet food, such as Chinese dumpling, of which a peripheral portion of a dough sheet is not likely to become hard after cooking with a microwave oven or the like, and a method for producing the same. The filling-wrapping dough sheet food is prepared by using a dough sheet containing preferably 15 to 65% by weight of grain flour, preferably 1 to 48% by weight of acetylated phosphate-crosslinked starch, and preferably 1 to 42% by weight of hydroxypropylated starch based on the total weight of the dough sheet, in which the weight ratio between the grain flour and (the acetylated phosphate-crosslinked starch+the hydroxypropylated starch) is preferably 90:10 to 20:80.

The present invention generally relates to gluten-free food products. In particular, the present invention concerns gluten-free biscuits comprising a starch-containing material and Brassicaceae seed protein. Further aspects of the invention are a gluten-free biscuit dough and a process for manufacturing a gluten-free biscuit.

The present invention relates to fillings for bakery and patisserie products, in particular fillings for cakes and the methods for preparing the fillings as well as the bakery and patisserie products, in particular cakes, comprising the fillings.

Disclosed is a method for producing a food dough, including the following steps: preparing a gel including at least starch and maltodextrins diluted in a fluid medium, preparing a foam consisting of one or more food products, and incorporating the gel into the foam.

A food product composition is provided and includes a a dry mix composition in an amount of from about 15.50 to about 30.00 weight percentage (wt %) of the food product composition and having a gluten free flour, water in an amount of from about 16.00 to about 20.00 wt % of the food product composition, a leavening agent in an amount from about 0.20 to about 0.30 wt % of the food product composition, a protein source in an amount from about 0.50 to about 19.00 wt % of the food product composition, a gluten free substitute in an amount from about 45.00 to about 72.00 wt % of the food product composition and having cauliflower; and a remainder of the composition containing a balance of incidental ingredients in an amount that is about 2.00 wt % or less of the food product composition.

Provided herein is a ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereal with a unique texture. A RTE breakfast cereal provided herein can have a high slowly digestible starch content relative to commercially available RTE cereals. Also disclosed are methods of making a RTE breakfast cereal described herein.

This invention pertains to the development of a high protein oil seed flour as a replacement for both wheat based and gluten free flours used in baked, dry and liquid goods which optimizes nutrition. The seed flour is based on the novel use of processing sunflower and other oil type seeds into a flour, meal, or protein isolate to replace a significant portion of traditional and gluten free flours in food goods, including baked, dry and liquid goods. The invention provides composition formulas that significantly optimize and improve the overall nutritional value of processed foods by balancing proteins and carbohydrates through an optimized ratio of seed to grain or tuber flour. The composition formulas also increase the absolute values of protein in processed foods to achieve recommended daily allowances as well as provides for increase satiety, improve blood sugar balance, weight management, and health.
