This invention relates to alkyl 5-acyloxydecanoate having formula (1) as follows: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having one to four carbon atoms, R.sub.2 denotes an alkyl group having one to four carbon atoms, with the proviso that the case where R.sub.1 is a methyl group and R.sub.2 is a methyl group or an ethyl group is excluded, which is capable of giving to food products or the like a characteristic flavor, or a sensory impression, of milk, fat or cream, and to the use of the same in flavoring compositions.

Ingredients include tapioca starch, tigernut flour, and cassava flour OR almond flour, fruit power, or dried fruit, or spices of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, or cocoa powder or chocolate chips, and/or tree nuts, cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon spice, pure powder vanilla, pure V50% mongroside monk fruit powder.

For each mix, start with tapioca starch that serves as a “binder” for the grain free flours. Tigernut flour is added to each mix to prevent finished product from being gummy and not bready. Add Cassava flour or Almond flour to create two different mixes with carbohydrate alternatives.

To each mix, add cream of tartar, baking soda, sea salt, pure powdered vanilla (no fillers), cinnamon spice (do not add to chocolate mix), V50% mongroside powered monk fruit. Add desired dried fruit powder, dried fruit, or spices to include cloves, ginger and nutmeg, or cocoa powder, and/or chocolate chips, and/or tree nuts or no nuts.

A process for the production of a soft bakery product with a moisture content of at least 11%, which can be stored at room temperature for at least two months, while keeping its softness characteristics substantially unchanged is disclosed. The process includes the steps of: a) providing a semi-finished product obtained from a flour-based leavened dough; b) baking the semi-finished product in an oven, obtaining a bakery product having a moisture content of between 10% and 35% by weight; and c) injecting water or a hydroalcoholic solution into the product, in an amount such as to bring about an increase of at least 10% of the moisture content of the bakery product.

The presently claimed invention provides a use of a composition comprising protein hydrolysate or protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid as whipping agent. The invention further relates to a method for aerating a carbohydrate containing food product by adding one protein hydrolysate or at least one protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid and its salts thereof. The invention also relates to the process of preparing a composition comprising at least one protein hydrolysate conjugate and at least one acid and its salts thereof.

The invention relates, in certain aspects, to a novel baking process that allows for the production of a gluten-free laminated baked good. In certain embodiments, the baked good of the invention has a look similar or indistinguishable from that of a conventional gluten-based baked good. In other embodiments, the baked good of the invention has a taste similar or indistinguishable from that of a conventional gluten-based baked good. In yet other embodiments, the baked good of the invention has a texture similar or indistinguishable from that of a conventional gluten-based baked good.

The present invention relates to a structured oil-in-water emulsion for use in a food product, a food product, such as a bakery product, comprising the same, and a method of preparing the food product and the emulsion itself. In one aspect the present invention provides an oil-in-water structured emulsion for use in a food product; said structured emulsion comprising: i) from 1 to 8 wt. % emulsifier; ii) from 8 to 55 wt. % of sugar and/or sugar alcohol; iii) from 12 to 40 wt. % water; and iv) from 25 to 70 wt. % oil.

A conditioner of doughs for baked and other bakery products, which fully or partially replaces the fat in such products is provided. Furthermore, a process of producing such a conditioner is provided. The conditioner makes it possible to strengthen the doughs, making them more tolerant to all the stresses to which they are subjected during their passage through the machines, during transport, transfers, until their arrival at the baking process or final application. By improving the behavior of the dough, gas retention is favored, making it possible to obtain products of greater volume, with a finer and more even crumb, while increasing shelf life and preventing starch retrogradation. Its appearance is similar to that of a fat (semi-solid) with the color and aroma of a lipid.

The present invention relates to compositions and processes for preparing microbially stable edible products from dough and to processes and compositions for preparing edible dough-based products having improved mold resistance, extended shelf-life and good organoleptic properties. In accordance with the invention combination of an acetate component and a propionate component, in particular combinations of a (buffered) vinegar and a propionate component prepared by fermentation can be applied in bread and other baked dough products to accomplish satisfactory mold inhibitory effects at dosages that do not (negatively) affect the organoleptic properties of the product, such as flavor, taste or aroma. Hence, the present invention provides new preservative systems, the uses thereof for inhibiting mold in baked dough products, and the baked dough products accordingly obtained.
