Provided are dry-milling methods for producing an aqueous fermentation feedstock ingredient. The methods include providing a corn-processing filtration feed; filtering at least a fraction of said filtration feed on a microfiltration membrane, whereby an aqueous filtration permeate and a filtration retentate are formed; separating said filtration permeate from said filtration retentate, to form separated permeate and separated retentate; forming a fermentation feedstock comprising said separated permeate, and saccharifying and/or washing said separated retentate.

The present disclosure discloses a microwave processing method for food made of flour and rice fermented with sourdough and belongs to the technical field of food processing. It comprises: adding a sourdough to the raw material to prepare a steamed cake batter; fermenting the batter under the dielectric constant of 20.sup.˜34, the loss factor of 6.3.sup.˜9.0, the moisture content of 45.sup.˜55% and the water activity of 0.920.sup.˜0.980; and using microwave heating to obtain the microwave-steamed cake. Due to the regulating effect of the sourdough fermentation on the dielectric properties of the food material, it solves the problems of hard core, textual firmness and toughness, dryness and weak flavor caused by fast and uneven microwave heating without adding food additives; meanwhile, the sourdough fermentation process is optimized and the DY and additive amount of the sourdough are controlled to obtain the microwave-steamed cake with larger specific volume, lower hardness, more fine and uniform pores and better taste.

Provided is a method of manufacturing rice taffy, and more specifically, a method of manufacturing rice taffy having excellent functionality by adding collagen. The method of manufacturing rice taffy according to the present invention includes a saccharification step of saccharifying a mixture of hard-boiled rice, malt, and water and thus obtaining a saccharified solution, a concentration step of concentrating the saccharified solution by applying heat and thus obtaining black taffy, an addition step of adding collagen to the black taffy, and a stretching step of repeatedly stretching the black taffy to which collagen was added.

A method and system for producing at least one byproduct from spent grains, such as Brewer's Spent Grains or Distiller's Spent Grains. In one embodiment, the spent grains are preserved via a preservation treatment before being put through a cellulase treatment. The cellulase treated spent grains are then filtered to produce at least one byproduct.

The texture and flavor of bran and germ for the production of whole wheat flour and for the production of baked goods containing whole wheat flour is improved by treating bran and germ with water and an enzyme composition comprising xylanase, pentosanase, or mixtures thereof to hydrate the bran and germ and to enzymatically convert insoluble fiber of the bran and germ into soluble fiber and sugars. The enzymatic conversion is conducted so as to decrease the water holding capacity of the bran and germ and provides a bran and germ product having reduced grittiness and a reduced whole wheat flavor, while avoiding adverse effects on baking functionality. The enzymatic treatment with the xylanase and/or pentosanase may be initiated upon whole wheat berries or grains during tempering, or it may be initiated upon a separated bran and germ fraction obtained after grinding or milling of whole wheat berries or grains.

The present invention relates to the solubilisation of cereal bran, for preparing compositions comprising soluble fractions of cereal bran and the use of these compositions comprising solubilised cereal bran for the preparation of food products, such as bread.
