Glucosyl Stevia compositions are prepared from steviol glycosides of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The glucosylation was performed by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase using the starch as source of glucose residues. The short-chain glucosyl Stevia compositions were purified to >95% content of total steviol glycosides. The compositions can be used as sweetness enhancers, flavor enhancers and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

A leavening composition which gives an enhanced leavening and reduced use of acidulants comprises (1) an alkali metal bicarbonate, (2) at least 0.1 and preferably at least mole per mole of bicarbonate of a precipitant which is a water-soluble alkaline earth metal salt, and (3) optionally an acidulant, wherein (2) and (3) are present in a total amount from 105 to 800% of the stoichiometric amount that would be required to react fully with (1) in a boiling aqueous solution. In a preferred embodiment the acidulant forms a water insoluble calcium or magnesium salt and is sufficient to provide more than 0.105 g replaceable hydrogen per 100 mmol bicarbonate, and the precipitant is a water soluble calcium or magnesium salt which is capable of precipitating or complexing with said acidulant and is present in an amount sufficient to provide a final pH below 6.5 when the leavening agent is heated in a bakery mix, which allows the inclusion of an effective amount of a preservative.

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.

A roll-in oil and fat composition is prepared, in which 45 to 95% by weight of transesterified oils and fats, 5 to 25% by weight of a liquid oil, and less than 1% by weight of high-melting point oils and fats are contained in an oily phase, wherein the transesterified oils and fats have a lauric acid content of 5 to 25% by weight, a palmitic acid content of 5 to 25% by weight, and a stearic acid content of 10 to 35% by weight all relative to the total content of all of constituent fatty acids and have a stearic acid-to-palmitic acid weight ratio of 0.5 to 7, and the high-melting point oils and fats have an open-tubed melting point of higher than 45 C. Layered bakery food is produced using the roll-in oil and fat composition.

The present invention discloses a method for preparing gourmet waffles. The composition or ingredients of the gourmet waffles includes at least four cups of pancake mixture, to 3 cups of water, at least three eggs, cup of oil and at least one box of the cake mixture. The gourmet waffles could be prepared into any desired configurations includes a disk, a roll, and a square. The composition could be mixed in a bowl to make a dough or batter. The dough could be stirred and smooth via a whisk or a dough mixer. The dough is placed inside of a waffle maker or waffle iron and heated at a temperature of about 280 F. The gourmet waffles are toasted for predetermined time of about 3 to 5 minutes and then removed from the waffle iron. The method provides tastier and healthier gourmet waffles.
