Powder or liquid compositions for an outer skin of a filling-wrapping food, containing pregelatinized rice flour with a specific physical property value within a specific range as measured using a texture analyzer show good dough sheet-making property and good formability, even when produced without using gluten or a food material (e.g., wheat flour, etc.) capable of producing gluten.

The present invention relates to a bread comprising a saccharified rice solution and a method for preparing same and, more specifically, to a bread comprising a saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji, Aspergillus kawachii koji, and lees and a method for preparing same. According to the present invention, a saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji, Aspergillus kawachii koji, and lees is developed, and thus, as compared with an existing saccharified rice solution prepared by using Aspergillus oryzae koji or Aspergillus kawachii koji, sweetness may be reduced, and the amounts of glutamic acid and aspartic acid may be increased, thus giving further enhanced savory taste. Furthermore, various and rich flavors (aroma) may be enhanced. In addition, by addition of the saccharified rice solution of the present invention, a bread having savory taste and various and rich flavors (aroma) may be prepared.

The present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage suitable for consumption by a subject with a non-coeliac gastrointestinal sensitivity. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of producing a food or malt-based beverage from barley grain comprising reduced levels of one or more alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitors. Also provided is barley grain that can be used in the methods of the invention.

A method of thermally inhibiting starch or flour is provided. The method involves thermally or non-thermally dehydrating a grain to anhydrous or substantially anhydrous, and then heat treating this dehydrated grain. The heat treated dehydrated grain is then milled, producing thermally inhibited flour and/or starch. Using this method, the shelf life of the resulting thermally inhibited whole grain flour is extended compared whole grain flours that are thermally inhibited after milling.
