In some examples, a system may be configured to generating flour having a uniform particle size of less than 100 Microns from whole insects. For example, the may include generating a slurry from whole insects by adding water while blending the whole insects using one or more mixers to generate an insect slurry. In some cases, the water is added to the insect parts to reduce the viscosity and to assist in separating the whole insects into parts. In some cases, the insect slurry may be filtered.

A method for producing a quality rice gel at low cost, while adopting a rational production facility that enables mass production. The method for producing a rice gel includes: a water addition step of adding water to raw rice bran to obtain a rice bran slurry in a slurry-like form, the raw rice bran being rice bran obtained by milling raw rice and excluding at least red rice bran; and a pulverization step of pulverizing the rice bran slurry to obtain a gelatinous rice gel.

Compositions comprising soluble oligosaccharides and insoluble saccharides are provided. Methods for the formation of the compositions, food products, baked goods, or sweeteners, including the production of the saccharide particles, the saccharide particles with various ratios and properties of the saccharides, and the uses of the same are also provided.

The technology disclosed in this specification pertains to encapsulating mixtures, encapsulating compositions, encapsulated products, and methods of their manufacture. The compositions and products comprise an emulsifier and a sweet flour and are useful for encapsulating oil-based ingredients. Such compositions and products can be formulated to have good oil retention and good oxidation resistance without the use of maltodextrins. In some embodiments the sweet flour is a sweet corn flour.

A composition formed from chickpea flour and having improved mouthfeel and taste, includes dextrinized starch and a controlled concentration of certain volatiles. Methods of forming the composition include extruding a composition containing chickpea at a temperature and pressure such that, when the extrudate exits the extruder, at least one volatile component is expelled.
