A Stevia extract made from leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant is described. The extract has desired levels of steviol glycosides and is useful in food, beverage, and other consumable products.

A process is described for the production of shortbread-type cookies, characterised in that it comprises the steps of: mixing the ingredients of a cookie dough, forming the cookie dough to form semi-finished products, baking the semi-finished products formed from the dough, thus obtaining the cookies, cooling the cookies obtained and packaging of the cookies; wherein the step of baking the semi-finished products comprises a step of exposure thereof to a hot gas consisting of hot air and superheated steam, blown directly on the semi-finished products by means of an impingement system; a description is also given of a cookie comprising, in weight per total weight, a dietary fibre content comprised between 1 and 25%, a lipids content comprised between 4 and 23% and a simple sugars content comprised between 8 and 26%.

The present invention relates to the production of edible wafers comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of a flour that comprises at least 5% by weight of the total flour of a non-wheat flour (such as millet; maize, barley, oats, rice, rye and/or soybeans) and/or at least 5% by weight of the total flour of a soluble fibre; (ii) an amount of water so the weight ratio of total amount of water to total amount of flour in the batter (denoted herein as R[w/f]) is no more than 1.5; and (iii) at least one enzyme comprising a cellulase in an amount of at least 0.0001 parts by weight; where the batter has a viscosity of from 200 to 1900 cps so it can be both pumped and baked on a heated surface without spillage. Preferably the flour has a low amount of (preferably is free of) gluten and/or gliadin proteins.

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.

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.
