The invention relates generally to the field of improving the sensor), quality profile of plant protein based compositions. In particular, the invention relates to the removal of undesired plant-like aroma and astringent/bitter taste from plant protein based compositions. For example, the invention relates to a process for improving the sensor), quality of a plant protein containing composition comprising the steps of bringing the plant protein containing composition in contact with a food grade oily composition, and removing the oily phase from the plant protein containing composition.

Disclosed is a natural compound sweetener, comprising mogroside V, rebaudioside A, natural tea theanine and dietary fibre. The method for preparing the sweetener comprises the steps of: (1) dissolution, filtration, concentration and sterilization: dissolving the mogroside V, rebaudioside A, natural tea theanine and dietary fibre in water, filtering, concentrating in a vacuum, and sterilizing to obtain a sterilized solution; and (2) paste-collection, drying and granulation: carrying out paste-collection on the sterilized solution obtained in the step (1), vacuum drying the collected liquid paste, and drying and then granulating the dry powder to obtain the sweetener.

A powdered, water-soluble Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is formed using organic materials and natural products to form a non-GMO, fast acting, whole plant hemp extract without harsh chemicals such as hexane. The Full Spectrum Hemp Oil may be extracted using CO2 concurrent gas extraction to avoid use of chemical additives.

Food for human consumption is smoked by providing smoke, removing one or more polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the smoke and contacting the food with the treated smoke, or smoking the food and then removing the PAHs from the smoked food. PAH removal is selective, to remove the PAHs that contain 4 or more benzene rings, in particular without significantly changing the volatile profile of the smoked food. A selective filter is provided, as is apparatus comprising a smoke generator, a chamber in which to smoke food, and the selective filter, disposed between the smoke generator and the chamber.

The present disclosure relates to methods of enriching beetroot products to increase the nitrate content of the beetroot powder product. The disclosure also relates to beetroot powder products with increased with at least 4% nitrate.

The disclosure discloses stabilized rice aleurone and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of food processing. The disclosure uses the technology of classifying a rice aleurone layer by a tangential injection airflow impeller classifier combined with an ultrasonic vibrating screen for the first time, and simultaneously uses steam treatment coupled with thermal enzyme inactivation by drum drying as a stabilization method to prepare the stabilized rice aleurone for the first time. The drum drying equipment in the method of the disclosure realizes the two purposes of enzyme inactivation and drying, and the method of the disclosure has short process flow, simple equipment, high utilization rate, small floor space, low investment, low energy consumption and no pollution, and is suitable for industrial promotion. The obtained stabilized rice aleurone has a lipase inactivation rate of 85% or more, a peroxidase inactivation rate of 100%, a low fatty acid value, and a storage period of 12 months or more at room temperature. The product has good taste and no change in color, and can be used in industrial production and food applications. At the same time, the stabilized rice aleurone also has the characteristic of high nutritional value, is rich in functional ingredients, and can be used as a raw material for functional food development.

In a method for extracting contaminants from agrarian products or foods or animal feeds containing agrarian products, comprising contacting a solvent for the contaminants with the agrarian products containing or having adsorbed the contaminants, or the foods or animal feeds, and at least one extraction buffer in an optionally closable mixing vessel, the extraction buffer, which is contained in a film soluble in the solvent and is supplemented with at least one surfactant, in particular nonionic surfactant, and the contaminated agrarian product or food or animal feed are contacted with cold water as solvent in the mixing vessel, and the extraction buffer and the contaminants are brought into solution by agitating or stirring in the mixing vessel; and apparatus therefor.

A sweetened, non-fat Allium-based flavoring material, which can be caramelized, compositions comprising the flavoring material, and processes to produce the flavoring material.

Methods for separating lean and fat from beef or other meats and the separation apparatus are shown. The methods use microbiocidal fluids to reduce or eliminate possible sources of contamination.

Methods of separating components traditionally considered as waste material from mold-fermented compositions are described. The waste components can be separated either from unfiltered compositions or from a separation stream separated from a composition. In some embodiments, filamentous fungus used in the production of the mold-fermented composition is specifically targeted for separation. Incorporation of separated waste components into various products are also described herein. In some embodiments, the separated components are used in alternative meat products and other foods designed for human consumption. Separated components can also be used in animal feed, as feed stock for other fermentation processes, or for use in treating food, creating cosmetics, or chemical processes.
