A packaged refrigerated gluten-free dough composition comprises at least one gluten-free flour source in at least 35% by weight of the composition, at least one starch source in at least 2% by weight of the composition and at least one protein source in about 0.5% to 13% by weight of the composition and at least 17 grams of glutamic acid per 100 grams of the protein, at least one fat source from 4% to 10% by weight of the composition and water from 25% to 35% by weight of the composition. The dough has an average storage modulus ranging from about 45 kPa to about 60 kPa at about 40° F. and an average loss modulus ranging from about 10 kPa to about 20 kPa at about 40° F. after at least 24 hours of storage at about 40° F., and is substantially free of gluten protein.

Provided herein are methods for producing a mung bean protein isolate having high functionality for a broad range of food applications. In some embodiments, the methods for producing the isolate comprise one or more steps selected from: (a) extracting one or more mung bean proteins from a mung bean protein source in an aqueous solution, for example, at a pH between about 6.5-10.0; (b) purifying protein from the extract using at least one of two methods: (i) precipitating protein from the extract at a pH near the isoelectric point of a globulin-rich fraction, for example a pH between about 5.0-6.0; and/or (ii) fractionating and concentrating protein from the extract using filtration such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration or ion-exchange chromatography; and (c) recovering purified protein isolate.

A composition with ingredients of vegetable origin and chemical yeasts, in powder form, and their use to replace eggs in natura in the preparation of bakery and confectionery products. The ingredients are ground whole golden flaxseed, pea protein, pea starch, calcium diphosphate, monocalcium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate.

Disclosed are specialized flour for nutrition meals for diabetes and a preparation method and use thereof. The flour is based on cereal meal as a basic material and is added to a defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and a soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power, wherein in the dry flour base, the content of protein is 20-26 weight %, the content of the dietary fiber is 4-10 weight %, the content of carbohydrate is no more than 65 weight %, and the content of fat is no more than 4% of the weight. The method comprises physically mixing the cereal meal, the defatted soybean vegetable protein powder and the soybean tissue isolated dietary fiber power under atmospheric pressure. Food and semi-finished products made from the flour are used for preventing and/or treating diabetes.

The present invention relates to a biscuit dough comprising: protein in an amount of at least 8 wt % by weight of the final biscuit; fiber in an amount of from 5 to 20 wt % by weight of the final biscuit; wherein the dough comprises native whey protein in an amount of at least 0.5 wt % by weight of the dough, and wherein the fiber comprises viscous soluble fibers and/or insoluble fibers.

A possibility to enhance the action of transglutaminase by helping the formation of peptide bonds with the glutamine present in the wheat flour, directed to a bakery pre-mix composition including pea protein and transglutaminase and a carrier, and a flour formulation including wheat flour, transglutaminase and pea protein. It was found that with the flour formulation a dough could be prepared with an improved process tolerance. The baked products prepared by baking the dough were found to have an improved crumb structure.

Heat treated pulse flour, pulse protein isolates obtained from heat treated pulse flour, food compositions containing such isolates, and methods for preparing heat treated pulse flours and pulse protein isolates are disclosed. The amount of volatile small molecule compounds present in the heat treated pulse flour are decreased or increased.

The invention provides doughs for a baked- or par-baked yeast-raised product, said doughs comprising added pulse and/or legume protein and at least one added lipase enzyme, as well as methods of producing such doughs, the methods comprising the steps of adding pulse and/or legume protein and at least one lipase enzyme to the doughs, and methods of producing baked or par-baked yeast-raised products comprising pulse and/or legume protein, the methods comprising the steps of providing a dough of the invention and baking or par-baking the yeast-raised dough, and finally also uses of enzyme compositions comprising at least one lipase enzyme for maintaining or improving the volume of a baked or par-baked yeast-raised product made from doughs comprising pulse and/or legume protein.
