This invention relates to compositions comprising cellulose particles and methods for making and using same. This invention also relates to compositions comprising a fluid and particles comprising cellulose. Thus, disclosed herein are methods of manufacture, isolation, purification, and handling of cellulose particles. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles as additives in leavened or leavenable food products, or in an emulsion or emulsifiable product, or as a suspension aid, or in a thickened composition, or in a meat or meat analog product, or in a personal care formulation, or in a beauty formulation, or in a cosmetic formulation, or in a skin care formulation. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles in subterranean treatment compositions. Also disclosed are uses for cellulose particles in metal working compositions, cutting compositions, and stamping compositions. Also disclosed herein are resuspendable particles comprising cellulose. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The present invention relates to crunchy edible formulations comprising fibre, protein and a restricted amount of carbohydrate and substantially devoid of fat and sugar. Methods of making said formulations and their use in food products are also provided.

A cryo-crystallised particulate fat and method for producing such a fat, having reduced D[4,3], D[3,2] and D(50) than particulate fats known in the art, as measured by laser diffraction. Particles are formed by alterations to product throughput, air pressure and flow rate. The particles offer increased functionality in various food applications.

An essentially carbohydrate-free., protein-based flour substitute and methods for preparing the same are disclosed herein. The flour substitute may be used to make pizza crusts, chips, taco shells, tortillas, crackers, sandwich thins, and other food products that are traditionally flour-based. The organoleptic properties of the disclosed flour substitute preferably resemble the organoleptic properties of traditional baked goods and are substantially different from the organoleptic properties of traditional meat products. The disclosed flour substitute comprises a meat or nut flour, a flavor-masking spice, salt, and a vegetable, fruit, or plant-based oil or an oil-based spray. The disclosed flour substitute is used to make substitute food products that preferably resemble, in both appearance and taste, the traditional food products that the substitute food products are replacing. The flour substitute is preferably fiber-free and does not contain any other non-digestible carbohydrates. Methods of preparing the disclosed flour substitute are also disclosed herein.

The present invention relates to a process for making an anhydrous fatty preparation to be incorporated in a product selected from a bakery product, a personal care product, cosmetics, dermocosmetics, soaps, varnishes, paints or snacks, preferably a bakery product, wherein said fatty preparation does not comprise fats with a saturated fat content higher than 35% by weight, nor trans fats, nor animal-derived products, nor totally or partially hydrogenated oils or fats, nor interesterified or transesterified fats, nor palm or coconut-derived oils or fats. The present invention further relates to a anhydrous fatty preparation and to a bakery product, a personal care product, cosmetics, dermocosmetics, soaps, varnishes, paints or snacks, preferably a bakery product comprising the same.

The present invention relates to a process for making a fatty preparation to be incorporated in a food product, wherein said fatty preparation does not comprise fats with a saturated fat content higher than 40% by weight nor trans fats, nor totally or partially hydrogenated oils or fats, nor interesterified fats. The present invention further relates to a fatty preparation and to a food product comprising the same.
