Disclosed is a method for preparing an emulsion gel-based fat substitute with adjustable phase change and use thereof, belonging to the field of oils and fats and food processing. The emulsion gel-based fat substitutes are prepared by using an oil-soluble polysaccharide, oil-soluble small molecule gelling agent, water-soluble large molecule gelling agent and vegetable oil as raw materials, dissolving the oil-soluble polysaccharide, small molecule gelling agent and water-soluble large molecule gelling agent in the heated oil and water phases, mixing and emulsifying the oil solution and aqueous solution to obtain an emulsion, and then gelling the emulsion upon stirring and cooling. An oil-soluble polysaccharide reduces the amount of oil-soluble small molecule gelling agent, an emulsion gel-based fat substitute containing trans-free low-saturated fatty acids is prepared, and the overall oil content of the emulsion gel is reduced by adding the water phase gelled with the water-soluble large molecule gelling agent.

A lower carbohydrate soup product is produced by preparing a mixture of soup ingredients, native xanthan gum, particulate xanthan gum and water to form a suspension in a high-speed mixer at a high sheer rate. The native xanthan gum and particulate xanthan gum cooperate to provide a viscosity necessary for successfully retorting a lower carbohydrate soup. The suspension is heated with steam injection until a viscosity sufficient to maintain the soup ingredients and particulate xanthan gum in a suspension. The suspension is then injected into a retort container and undergoes a retort process, thereby producing the lower carbohydrate soup product.

A method of processing an oil cake and/or extraction meal and/or a powder (P.1) from portions of seeds (S.1) containing oil such as mustard, crambe, sunflower, pumpkin seeds, hemp, linen, or rape is configured such that the material of the oil cake or powder (P.1) is subjected to a heating and to a texturing for forming a food (P.5) that contains fiber.

It is disclosed a food mixture, in particular a food mixture comprising hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, and soluble fibres. In particular, the present invention relates to a food mixture comprising: —a fraction (a) which comprises soluble fibres; —a powdered fraction (b) which comprises at least 100 mg/kg hydroxytyrosol and at least 250 mg/kg oleuropein where said amounts refer to said powdered fraction (b). Said food mixture finds application, moreover, in the preparation of bread, pasta, and baked goods in general. The invention also describes food products which contain this mixture, a process for the preparation thereof, as well as the uses thereof in human and animal nutrition, in the treatment and in the prevention of inflammatory conditions and in the reduction of postprandial glycaemia.

The invention relates to a glucose(-containing) syrup replacement composition for use in food applications, such as in bakery, beverages, ice cream, confectionery and the like. The glucose(-containing) syrup replacement composition comprises at least 80 wt % of maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalence (DE) of from 15 to 20 and up to 20 wt % of sorbitol and glycerol. The invention also covers the use of the composition in a food product to replace at least partially or completely nutritive mono- and disaccharides having an energy density of 4 kcal/g, preferably to replace at least partially or completely glucose, sucrose and/or fructose, generally in the form of syrups.

The present invention discloses a nutritional composition and method of using and making the nutritional composition. The nutritional composition is an intact pea protein based nutrient composition for use in both enteral and oral feeding, and provides a nonallergenic diet for providing optimal nutrition to users. The nutritional composition is made from organic and plant-based ingredients. The nutritional composition has pea protein, phytochemical extracts, fatty acids, organic ingredients free of the top eight allergens and corn, and prebiotic fiber. The nutritional composition is provided in liquid form for enteral and/or oral feeding.

An affordable, palatable, maintainable and clinically-useful UC diet, characterized by a low content of sulfur, heme animal-based protein, taurine, animal-saturated fat.

The present application discloses a simple process for the purification of neutral human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) produced by microbial fermentation. The process uses a combination of cationic ion exchanger treatment, an anionic ion exchanger treatment, and a nanofiltration and/or electrodialysis step, which allows efficient purification of large quantities of neutral HMOs at high purity. Contrary to the purification currently used in fermentative production of neutral HMOs, the presented process allows the provision of HMOs without the need of a chromatographic separation. The so purified HMOs may be obtained in solid form by spray drying, as crystalline material or as sterile filtered concentrate. The provided HMOs are free of proteins and recombinant material originating from the used recombinant microbial strains and thus very well-suited for use in food, medical food and feed (e.g. pet food) applications.
