Composite plant-MCT flour includes MCT oil encapsulated by and/or complexed with wall material and incorporated within the composite plant-MCT flour, wherein polysaccharide from the plant flour forms part of the wall material. The wall material includes protein, e.g., pea protein, carbohydrate, and emulsifier(s), and/or polysaccharide fiber, e.g., acacia fiber. The plant flour may be gluten-flour, gluten-free flour and/or low carbohydrate seed, nut or vegetable floor. Composite plant-MCT flour can replace traditional flours to make food products, such as baked, fried or boiled goods but with benefits, such as reduced gluten and/or carbohydrates, increased freshness and volume and improved texture and taste compared to alternative flours and even all-purpose flour.

Disclosed are a preparation method and application of flour with low oil absorption during frying, belonging to the field of flour modification. The preparation method of flour with low oil absorption during frying increases the cross-linking degree of starch, protein, and starch-protein in the flour by adding glutamine transaminase first and then phytic acid or adding phytic acid first and then glutamine transaminase so as to improve the compactness of the flour structure, which reduces water evaporation and oil absorption during frying after the flour is made into dough, and thus ultimately forms the modified flour with low oil absorption during frying. The method is simple, green, pollution-free, and low in energy consumption, and the modified flour prepared has improved thermal stability and reduced oil absorption after frying. The present disclosure has broad application prospects in the fields of flour modification and fried foods.

High-protein food additives are prepared by reacting a protein material with L-cysteine, or a derivative thereof, with homogenization and heating. The homogenization and heating is preferably carried out on an aqueously slurry of the protein material and L-cysteine. The homogenized and reacted slurry is then dried to form a powder. The resultant food additive may be incorporated into a wide variety of food products to enhance the physical characteristics thereof.

The embodiments disclose a process for manufacturing a collagen protein bar including mixing an organic coconut oil with organic coconut sugar sweetener and jumbo eggs in predetermined quantities, blending baking soda, pink Himalayan sea salt and pure vanilla extract ingredients in predetermined quantities into the mixed oil, sweeteners and eggs mixture, combining with ingredients organic cassava flour and collagen protein ingredients in predetermined quantities, wherein the collagen protein source is in a range from 15% to 20% by weight of the collagen protein bar and the organic cassava flour in a range from 28% to 34% by weight of the collagen protein bar, mixing at least one organic nut and at least one chocolate in predetermined quantities into the cassava flour and collagen protein ingredient combination, baking the mixture in an oven at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time and forming the baked mixture into a collagen protein bar.

Products made from poultry proteins are disclosed. These products may contain high levels of chicken proteins and may be in the form of a baked or extruded solid, or in a liquid form. Methods of making these products are also described.

Baking ingredients that can be used as a fat replacement in dough compositions and baked goods are described. Baking ingredients include a thermo-reversible hydrocolloid and can be included in a dough composition or layered with a laminated dough. The baking ingredients lead to improved flavor, improved appearance, improved texture, and improved lubricity in reduced fat bakery products. Methods of making and using baking ingredients are also described.

An essentially carbohydrate-free, protein-based flour substitute and methods for preparing the same are disclosed herein. The flour substitute may be used to make pizza crusts, chips, taco shells, tortillas, crackers, sandwich thins, and other food products that are traditionally flour-based. The organoleptic properties of the disclosed flour substitute preferably resemble the organoleptic properties of traditional baked goods and are substantially different from the organoleptic properties of traditional meat products. The disclosed flour substitute comprises a meat or nut flour, a flavor-masking spice, salt, and a vegetable oil, fruit oil, or plant-based oil or an oil-based spray. The disclosed flour substitute is used to make substitute food products that preferably resemble, in both appearance and taste, traditional food products that the substitute food products are replacing. The flour substitute is preferably fiber-free and does not contain any other non-digestible carbohydrates. Methods of preparing the disclosed flour substitute are also disclosed herein.

A method of manufacture and a composition for the technology as disclosed herein, which includes a method of manufacture and composition for a dough tortilla item including protein. The dough tortilla composition as disclosed and claimed herein can be manufactured using a corn masa based flour and/or utilizing other grain based flours such corn, rice, barley. For one implementation of the technology other leguminous based flours or chestnut base flours, or various bean base powder, or cauliflower based powders used individually or in combination with any of the other types of flours described herein. The technology as disclosed and claimed provides a dough based tortilla or other dough based item that is a protein enhanced alternative to conventional tortillas and other dough based products. This invention results in a dough tortilla that has more protein, more complete protein, and fewer carbohydrates than conventional wheat dough tortilla.
