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.

A white wheat flour is made from a combination of a first flour stream including at least a non-heat treated low ash and low bran flour stream, and a second flour stream including a heat-treated high ash and high bran flour stream. The white wheat flour preferably exhibits an extensibility in the range of 160-180 for use in making raw dough used in sheeted dough manufacturing systems. Importantly, the specified processing of the invention only results in a change in extensibility of less than 20%. The raw dough composition can be packaged and stored in a refrigerated condition for subsequent use in making biscuits, rolls, croissants or the like. By heating the second flour stream, enzymes in the second flour stream are deactivated, thereby increasing the stability and refrigerated shelf life of the packaged raw dough composition to at least 120 days. In certain embodiments, one or more enzymes are reintroduced into the second flour stream.

The present invention provides mixtures comprising flour, dried powdered palm fat and salt, wherein the flour and the fat are in a proportion that ranges from 100:45-55 by weight. Dough produced from the mixtures, as well as methods for producing short crust pastries are also provided.

The present invention relates to mixed crystals comprising a) leavening agent and b) 0.1 to 5000 ppm by weight of crystallization aid, based on the total amount of the leavening agent, in the form of at least polymer, wherein when hydrophilic cellulose derivatives are used as crystallization aid, the amount thereof is reduced to less than 100 ppm by weight, based on the total amount of the leavening agent. The present invention further relates to the production of the mixed crystals and to the use thereof in the production of bakery products, as acid regulator in foods, in the production of cosmetics products, in the synthesis and formulation of pharmaceutical products, and also as blowing agent in industrial processes such as, for example, the production of foam rubber, or for fire-extinguishing formulations. The present invention relates, furthermore, to the production of bakery products.

A combination for improving intestinal micro-ecology and preventing chronic diseases includes an inulin, a galactooligosaccharide and a dietary fiber composite, wherein the ratio of the inulin, the galactooligosaccharide and the dietary fiber composite in a formula is (1-75):(1-75):(5-95). Preferably, the ratio is (10-50):(10-50):(25-50). A balanced nutritious food includes cereal flour and the ratio of the cereal flour to the combination in a formula is (50-95):(5-50). Preferably, the ratio is (70-95):(30-5). Moreover, provided is an application in preparing foods or medicaments for preventing inflammatory bowel disease, improving gastrointestinal motility and preventing constipation, preventing diabetes, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and regulating intestinal flora to enhance immune ability.

Baking (e.g., pancake) mixes comprising at least one type of whole grain flour, at least one natural sweetener, at least one solid fat and a leavening system are provided herein. Packaged food products comprising single-serving containers containing said baking (e.g., pancake) mixes, as well as methods of preparing pancakes, are also provided. The baked goods (e.g., pancakes) described herein are preferably 100% whole grain and free from preservatives and/or artificial colorings.

The present invention relates generally to methods of extraction and processing of polymethoxylated flavone (PMF) powder from Ortanique peels for commercial application.

The present invention relates to a composition for preparing low-gluten and low-carbohydrate baked and pastry goods, containing the following ingredients: a) flour, obtained from one or more nuts and/or oil seeds of non-legumes, b) mucilage polysaccharide-containing plant products or mucilage polysaccharides isolated from these plant products, c) protein component consisting of at least 40% animal protein in the dry weight. Such a composition contains a maximum of 0.1% gluten and is preferably gluten-free, i.e. has a gluten content less than 20 mg/kg (<20 ppm gluten content). Due to the low gluten and carbohydrate content of components a), b) and c), the composition according to the invention is suitable for producing low-gluten and in particular preferably gluten-free baked and pastry goods, having a low carbohydrate content of generally <15% relative to the food ready for consumption, and in particular for production of low-gluten, preferably gluten-free baked and pastry goods, which, relative to food ready for consumption, have the following nutrient profile: less than 10% carbohydrates, more than 10% protein, 1-40% fat.

The invention provides a solid baking additive both baking enzymes and baker's yeast in a homogenous co-formulated form, which exhibit excellent enzyme stability.
