A powdery food containing at least a micronized first powder having myrosinase activity and a second powder containing a glucosinolate.

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a suspension of mustard bran particles comprising the following steps: a) providing an aqueous dispersion of mustard bran particles originating from the seeds of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and/or the seeds of brown Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), said mustard bran particles having a volume weighted mean diameter of more than 300 m; b) producing a milled suspension of mustard bran particles by passing the dispersion one or more times through a high shear device selected from a high pressure homogenizer and an ultra-fine friction grinder, said high pressure homogenizer being operated at a pressure drop of at least 100 bar.

Treatment of these types of mustard bran in a high shear device increases overall bioaccessability of the proteins contained in the bran. This is desirable in view of the high nutritional value of these proteins.

The invention also provides a food product comprising an aqueous phase, said aqueous phase comprising 0.5 to 15 wt. % of mustard bran particles originating from the seeds of black mustard and/or the seeds of brown Indian mustard, said mustard bran particles having a volume weighted mean diameter of less than 600 m.

A liquid condiment includes a seasoning liquid, a solid ingredient including one or more dried vegetables that are immersed and swollen in the seasoning liquid, and one or more selected from the group consisting of vinegar, a fruit juice, a flavoring oil, a flavor, and a spice extract. The liquid condiment includes 0 to 30% by mass of the swollen vegetables having a size of 0.5 mm or more and less than 3 mm, 0 to 60% by mass of the swollen vegetables having a size of 3 mm or more and less than 8 mm, and 0 to 30% by mass of the swollen vegetables having a size of 8 mm or more and less than 20 mm. The total amount of the swollen vegetables having a size of 0.5 mm or more and less than 20 mm is 5 to 60% by mass.

A pull tab assembly is described for condiment dispensers such that one or more pull tabs are disposed on a dispenser. An alternative teaches opposing pull tab assemblies placed on either end of a condiment dispenser. A slanted edge associated with the pull tab facilitates the opening of the dispenser. Another embodiment teaches acute angle dispensing devices and alternatively having a flap about the acute angle dispensing devices.

A spherical ingredient-containing topping condiment includes on a wet basis: (A) 1 to 50% by weight of a 4-mesh-pass to 16-mesh-on ingredient comprising a spherical ingredient; and (B) 0.1 to 50% by weight of a 16-mesh-pass to 100-mesh-on ingredient. An amount of the spherical ingredient is 10 to 100% by weight in the ingredient (A) and 3.0% by weight or more in the condiment. The spherical ingredient has a repose angle of 20<<45 determined with tan =H/r. The condiment has a viscosity of 600 to 8,500 mPa.Math.s as determined by a B-type viscometer and a viscosity of 6 to 25 cm at a measurement temperature of 20 C. for a measurement time of 30 seconds as determined by a Bostwick viscometer.
