Some embodiments relate to metal binding agents and chelators for preparing food products (including nutritional supplements) from vegetable and plant sources for the reduction of heavy metal content. In some embodiments, the plant sources include rice. In some embodiments, when bound or complexed to a metal to be removed, the metal binding agents and chelators are can be separated (e.g., filtered, etc.) from the food material during processing. In some embodiments, the metal binding agents and chelators are organic certifiable.

A powdery food containing a sucrose-containing plant with a sucrose content of 2.5 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, a dietary fiber content of 1 mass % or more in terms of dry mass, has a particle sizes d50 after ultrasonication of 1,000 m or less and has an acetoin content of 1 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less, is provided. The powdery food easily controls the burnt odor derived from sucrose and extract the sweet flavor peculiar to sucrose in a food and drink containing a powder derived from a sucrose-containing plant.

A method for easily controlling dry odors and extracting plant-specific sweet flavors in dry plant powders is provided. A dried plant powder with a dietary fiber content is 5 mass % or more in terms of dry weight, a dimethyl sulfoxide content is 1 ppb or more and 40,000 ppb or less, d50 of particle size after ultrasonication is 1,000 m or less, a dimethyl sulfide content is 1 ppb or more and 2,000 ppb or less, and a ratio of dimethyl sulfoxide content to dimethyl sulfide content (DMSO concentration/DMS concentration) is 0.001 or more and 180 or less, is provided.

Plants with reduced gluten grains and compositions thereof are disclosed herein.

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of thermally inhibited starch and/or thermally inhibited flour having a moisture content lying between 5 and 30 wt. %, having the following steps: a slurrying step, wherein thermally inhibited starch and/or thermally inhibited flour is combined with an aqueous phase to form a slurry; and a drying step, wherein the aqueous phase of the slurry is separated off from the thermally inhibited starch and/or thermally inhibited flour, wherein in the slurrying step the pH of the slurry is brought to a value between 2.0 and 7.5.

The present invention relates generally to corn dry-milling, and more specifically, to methods for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct produced in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol and a system therefore. In one embodiment, a method for producing a high protein corn meal from a whole stillage byproduct includes, in a corn dry-milling process for making ethanol, separating the whole stillage byproduct into an insoluble solids portion and a thin stillage portion. The thin stillage portion is separated into a protein portion and a water soluble solids portion. Next, the protein portion is dewatered then dried to define a high protein corn meal that includes at least 40 wt % protein on a dry basis.

Habesha dried food product is prepared according to the steps of: selecting ingredients from at least one of a major food group, an accessory food group, and a whole grain; cooking the selected ingredients according to a Habesha cuisine to result in a form of food; partially dehydrating and freeze drying the freshly prepared form of food to result in segmented dried form of food; or directly freeze drying the freshly prepared form of food to result in powdered dried form of food; and packaging the dried form of food in moisture resistant containers to result in packaged Habesha dried food product. Dried food thus prepared results in less digestive discomfort, shortened food preparation, reduced objectionable smell, and stable products requiring no refrigeration.

Methods for producing a food product that involve use of a cross-flow filtration module are disclosed. The cross-flow filtration module may be used to recycle wastewater effluent and/or to recover antioxidant compounds from the wastewater effluent. In some embodiments, the cross-flow filtration module includes a stainless steel or nickel alloy substrate.

This disclosure concerns synthetic polynucleotides encoding a polypeptide of interest that are particularly well-suited for expression in target plants.

A process for producing a plant-based food product includes providing a suspension including starch and protein, heating the suspension to obtain a warm suspension, preparing a suspension including partly hydrolyzed starch by treating the warm suspension with at least one starch degrading enzyme, subjecting the suspension including partly hydrolyzed starch to heat treatment to obtain a heat-treated suspension including the partly hydrolyzed starch, cooling the heat-treated suspension, and fermenting and/or acidifying the suspension including the partly hydrolyzed starch, and further cooling and/or adding jam, beta-glucan, flavoring and/or additives to said suspension, and obtaining a plant-based food product.
