The present invention relates to the food field. Specifically, the present invention relates to a syrup binder system for preparing a food containing extruded or puffed cereal and/or nuts, such as compound sachima (complexed sachima), cereal bars, crunchy rice candy or nut bars, etc., a preparation process and use thereof, and a food containing the syrup binder system.

A method for producing a room-temperature stable, food-grade, all-natural, vegan, water-soluble, and phyto-cannabinoid/terpene/flavonoid colloidal dispersion by heating carrier oils and one or more than one plant extract. Mixing and heating the resultant together in a first container and adding flavor components. Mixing and heating water and one or more than one polyol in a second container. Mixing one or more than one emulsifier and one or more than one antioxidant in the second container. Mixing the contents of the first container and the second container in the first container after being removed from heat sources. Processing the resultant mixture through a high energy processor. Filtering the resultant mixture producing a room-temperature stable, food-grade, all-natural, vegan, water-soluble, and phyto-cannabinoid/terpene/flavonoid colloidal dispersion. Optionally adding an aqueous-based and lipid-based mixture to the resultant mixture that is bottled and stored in a light-protected environment and is ready for consumption.

The present invention provides an amylase composition which enables long-term stable storage of amylase without using chemicals that may affect the human body in food use. The present invention relates to an amylase composition containing a saccharide containing glucose as a constituent unit, a polyhydric alcohol, and an amylase.

Glucosyl stevia compositions are prepared from steviol glycosides of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The glucosylation was performed by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase using the starch as source of glucose residues. The compositions mainly comprise glucosyl derivatives with superior taste characteristics and can be used as sweetness enhancers, flavor enhancers and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

A dosage form coating composition is disclosed. The composition includes an alginate, a pectin, a plasticizer, and optionally an emulsifying agent. The alginate is present in an amount by weight of at least 40.0% and at most 80.0% and the pectin is present in an amount by weight of at least 16.0% and at most 40.0%—and/or—the alginate and the pectin are present in a weight ratio of at least 1:1 and at most 5:1. The dosage form coating composition, when applied to a dosage form to a 3% to 5% weight gain, provides a coated dosage form having an enteric coating. The coated dosage form has at least two sequentially observed properties exhibiting enteric coating behavior.

An adjuvant beverage, comprising a water-based mixture comprising water in amounts of 80-85% w/w, salts in amounts of 0.2-0.5% w/w, agar agar, and/or vegetable pectin, and/or starches, in amounts of 0.2%-0.5% w/w, Hibiscus sabdariffa tea, and/or herbal tea with mallow and/or oats, in amounts of 0.3-0.5% w/w, simple carbohydrates in amounts of 15-20% w/w, at least one acidifier in amounts of 0.1-0.3% w/w.

The adjuvant beverage can be used as an oral administration contrast agent for the performance of magnetic resonance imaging of the mesenteric small intestine (Entero-MRI).

Films compositions for packaging and delivering a foodstuff, pharmaceutical, industrial, manufacturing and agricultural materials and uses are disclosed. The film can be formed from at least one biodegradable film forming agent, and at least one biodegradable plasticizer. The resulting film can be formed and shaped to a variety of film package configurations and can have multi compartments. The resulting films and film packages can be edible and substantially and/or completely soluble in a cold, cool, warm and/or hot hydro-liquid including water. The film forming agent(s) is compostable and the film has an essential absence of petrochemicals and non-biodegradable plastics/bioplastics.

Described herein is a food that is suitable for use as a shelf stable nut butter based spread. The food has a protein content of at least 25% by weight, and a nut butter content of at least 50% by weight. The food retains a desirable eating experience, similar to a natural nut butter spread or a stabilized nut butter spread despite having a high protein content.

The present invention relates to a sweetener liquid for preventing and relieving intestinal sugar alcohol intolerance. The sweetener liquid per 100ml includes 0.01 to 0.04 g of low-esterification pectin, 0.01 g to 0.1 g of κ-carrageenan, 0.01 g to 0.3 g of locust bean gum, 30 g to 60 g of xylitol, 5 g to 15 g of maltitol and 1 g to 10 g of sorbitol and remaining water; the low-esterification pectin is a pectin concentrate including, based on parts by weight, 15 parts of calcium citrate, 60 parts of low-molecular-weight pectin, 85 parts of ethylene glycol, 5 parts of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and 30 parts of sodium citrate; the low-molecular-weight pectin includes a low-sugar fruit juice and a lemon juice; the sweetener liquid has a pH of 5-6.5 and a viscosity of 0.1 to 25 mPa•S. The present invention further provides a method of preparing a sweetener liquid and an application thereof. The present invention reduces the diarrhea resulting from ingestion of excess sugar alcohol, and improves the safety and practicality of the sugar alcohol in product applications.

Described are dried cranberries with reduced sugar content, while retaining a desired sweetness and texture, and methods of making such dried cranberries. Dried cranberries include erythritol and a sweetener that interferes with erythritol crystallization.
