A process for using bacterial or fungal metalloprotease and trypsin to solve problems associated with conventional protease extraction techniques by dramatically reducing temperature, incubation time and proteolysis during protease extraction. The present disclosure relates to a protease treatment for increasing yield from plant or other material by extracting nutrients from the fibrous waste portion of milled plant material while preserving the nutritional and functional qualities of the extracted material for use as a food product. The process preserves the quality of the extracted material, including beta glucan and protein, by utilizing low temperatures and minimal protease activity and digestion time during extraction.

The present invention relates to improved formulations of propandiol mononitrate and derivatives thereof as well as to the production of such formulations.

The present invention relates to a process for obtaining durum wheat oil starting from durum wheat. further obtaining a defatted meal and durum wheat lecithin. The invention further relates to a process for obtaining flour products of defatted durum wheat germ and defatted durum wheat bran starting from said defatted meal of durum wheat. The present invention relates to a process starting from the defatted meal of durum wheat for obtaining a natural sourdough and a dried natural sourdough therefrom. A further object of the invention are the thus obtained products: durum wheat oil, defatted meal and durum wheat lecithin, flour products of defatted durum wheat germ and defatted durum wheat bran, a natural sourdough, and a dried natural sourdough.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber mix formulation comprising a mixture of bran, inulin, and digestion resistant maltodextrin useful to restore a healthier gut microbiota and alleviate symptoms in subjects with imbalance of gut microbiota. The mixture of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (ISDF) with a ratio of ISDF:SDF (0.5:1 to 1:0.5), has synergistic effect on gut microbiota composition, promoting the growth of the acetate- and butyrate-producing bacteria and inhibiting the growth of pathogens and detrimental bacteria.

The present invention relates to multi-texture baked products and precursors for making such baked products. In particular this invention relates to a cookie precursor comprising a dough, wherein the dough comprises particle sugar with a particle size D90 of less than 700 m, a sugar syrup and a sugar alcohol, wherein the dry weight ratio of particle sugar to sugar in the sugar syrup is 4.75 or below and the weight ratio of particle sugar to sugar alcohol is 4.6 or below.
