The present invention is direct to an edible composition in which fruit, vegetables and/or nuts, in conjunction with a hydrocolloid, are treated with pressure and/or heat to form an edible composition that is dimensionally stable, ambient stable for at least 12 months, has a moisture content greater than 50 wt. %, has a pH less than 4.5, has a water activity greater than 0.5, is commercially sterile, is free of artificial flavors, has a solids content greater than 10 wt. %, and does not exhibit syneresis. Also provided is a method for preparation of the edible composition.

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an aqueous dispersion comprising mustard bran comprising the following steps: providing an aqueous dispersion comprising mustard bran particles and applying a high pressure homogenisation treatment to alter the sugar moiety ratio of the mustard bran particles. The invention further relates to an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an aqueous dispersion that can be prepared by the aforementioned process.

The present invention is direct to an edible composition in which fruit, vegetables and/or nuts, in conjunction with a hydrocolloid, are treated with pressure and/or heat to form an edible composition that is dimensionally stable, ambient stable for at least 12 months, has a moisture content greater than 50 wt. %, has a pH less than 4.5, has a water activity greater than 0.5, is commercially sterile, is free of artificial flavors, has a solids content greater than 10 wt. %, and does not exhibit syneresis. Also provided is a method for preparation of the edible composition.

The present invention is direct to an co-fruit pulp based edible composition in which an agricultural fruit byproduct base material, in conjunction with a hydrocolloid, is treated with pressure and/or heat to form an edible composition that is dimensionally stable, ambient stable for at least 9 months, has a moisture content greater than 50 wt. %, has a pH less than 4.5, has a water activity greater than 0.5, is commercially sterile, is free of artificial flavors and/or artificial colors, has a solids content greater than 10 wt. %, and does not exhibit syneresis or exhibits syneresis. Alternatively, the base material contains an edible fruit and/or vegetable and/or nut byproduct alone or in combination with the co-fruit pulp. Also provided is a method for preparation of the edible composition.

Provided herein are compositions with enhanced sweetness per weight when compared to the sweetener carbohydrate or sweetener polyol component thereof, and methods for the preparation thereof.

The present invention provides masking compositions that include a lower alkyl carboxylic acid, e.g. acetic acid. Also provided is a masking composition that includes (a) a lower alkyl carboxylic acid (e.g. acetic acid), a warming sensate (e.g. vanillin or vanillyl butyl ether) and/or a cooling sensate (e.g. menthol or isopulegol).

To prepare a mineral supplementing agent capable of commonly used for a seasoning liquid, a supplement, a cosmetic, an oral cavity washing liquid, a plant growth promoting agent and the like, by using common materials and a common preparation method.

A method of preparing a mineral supplementing agent capable of being administered to a human body or a plant is provided. The method includes a first charging step, a second charging step, a third charging step, a fourth charging step, and an extraction step. The first charging step charges a vessel with part of a prescribed amount of vinegar. The second charging step charges the vessel, which has been charged with the vinegar, with at least one of garlic, instant coffee, vinegar, and a fruit. The third charging step charges the vessel, which has been subjected to the second charging step, with at least one of a particulate grain hull, a charred product thereof, and a calcined ash thereof, and mixing the contents of the vessel. The fourth charging step adds the rest of the prescribed amount of vinegar to the vessel which has been subjected to the third charging step, while stirring the contents of the vessel concurrently with the addition. The extraction step separates a liquid component and a solid component in the vessel, after the fourth charging step, and extracts the separated liquid component as a mineral solution.
