Disclosed herein are baked goods with improved properties that contain pregelatinized waxy cassava starch, and methods of making such baked goods. In some embodiments the baked goods comprise between 1% and 10% by weight waxy cassava starch. In embodiments the baked goods have equal or better crumb firmness than baked goods using chemically modified starches.

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.

The invention is related to a sugar-reduced food cream composition comprising fat, sugar and starch, wherein the starch is native starch having an average particle size between 20 m and 30 m, preferably between 22 m and 28 m, even more preferably between 23 m and 26 m, with a D90 smaller than 40 m, preferably smaller than 36 m. The invention also relates to a method of preparation of a sugar-reduced food cream composition comprising the steps of: selecting a recipe of a food cream composition comprising fat and sugar, replacing between 25% to 40%, preferably 25% to 35%, more preferably about 30% by weight of the total sugar content of said food cream composition by native starch having an average particle size between 20 m and 30 m, preferably between 22 m and 28 m, even more preferably between 23 m and 26 m, with a D90 smaller than 40 m, preferably smaller than 36 m.

The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods of preparing a shelf-stable, plant-based, gluten-free dough (e.g., cookie dough) that can be stored in non-refrigerated conditions for a prolonged period without the need for time and/or temperature controls. Shelf stability is achieved based on the disclosure of compounds that have desired low moisture content and such that the dough, and methods of making the dough, regulate the water activity and pH to levels at which microbial growth is minimized or is otherwise prevented. The dough can use all-natural, organic, plant-based, and/or vegan ingredients to be devoid of preservatives and to be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Other aspects of the present disclosure, including various combinations of ingredients used and their relative proportions and ratios, and methods for combining the ingredients, are also provided.
