The present invention relates to a breadmaking improver useful in a method for producing a cooked loaf by the final cooking of a precooked loaf stored without freezing. It also relates to an improved breadmaking method that implements the use of this improver. The improver of the invention enables the precooked loaf to be stored at ambient temperature or at positive low temperature for a period ranging up to one month without the freshness and taste qualities thereof being impaired. The method of the invention is useful for all types of loaves, in particular large loaves, the weight of which may reach 2 kg.

The disclosure provides an improved process for making flour-based food products that have a final moisture content of less than 3%. In particular, the process comprises preparing uncooked dough from at least flour, starch, and water, heat-pressing the uncooked dough to form a heat-pressed dough sheet, and cooking the hot-pressed dough sheet to form a food product that has a final moisture content of less than about 3%. Advantageously, the food products can maintain a light, bubbly, and crisp texture with rapid mouthmelt.

A crispy textured ambient shelf-stable food product is formed from a dough that includes at least 50% by weight of a fruit and/or vegetable, starch and fat. The food product has a moisture content of less than 4% by weight and exhibits reduced moisture uptake such that the food product has a moisture content of less than 7% by weight after 2 weeks exposure to ambient conditions of 50% humidity at 23° C.

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

The invention refers to a process for obtaining dough compositions made from flour and starch having rheological characteristics that are adequate for the manufacture of food products, by mixing dry ingredients (flour, starch and additives) in determined ratios, and adding an adequate amount of water to the mix until obtaining homogenous dough. The obtained dough is of great use for the food industry.

Disclosed are baked goods containing non-dairy protein. Examples of the disclosed baked goods include quick breads. An example quick bread includes muffins that contain salt-precipitated plant proteins (e.g., from pea) at levels surpassing 9 or more grams per 90-gram muffin. The muffins are fully formed (i.e., not collapsed), are neutral in flavor with no bitter aftertaste and are hypoallergenic or non-allergenic. In some examples, the baked goods are vegetarian, do not contain eggs, or are vegan. In some examples, the only source of protein in the baked goods comes from plant proteins.

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.

Improved thermally inhibited starch is disclosed and methods of making such starch are disclosed. In some embodiments a thermally inhibited starch has improved whiteness and flavor. In some embodiments a method for making a thermally inhibited starch includes providing adding a buffer and an acid to a starch to obtain a pH adjusted starch having an acidic pH and thermally inhibiting the pH adjusted starch. The technology further pertains to methods of making the thermally inhibited starch in batch, continuous, continuous-like process or combinations thereof.
