The present invention pertains to a method for determining the composition of a food product, a method for preparing a food product, a food product prepared by the method according to the present invention and the use thereof.

An embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a light-colored material for a food product, including: creating a starting light-colored material, wherein the starting light-colored material comprises a protein and a fiber; creating a light-colored material from the starting light-colored material by adding a fat to the starting material; molding the light-colored material to a predetermined shape; and baking the light-colored material to a predetermined temperature.

The invention relates to a method for producing gluten-free bakery and patisserie products and to the gluten-free bakery and patisserie products obtained, the method facilitating natural baking by means of the addition of between 60 and 110% of water to the mixture of ingredients, owing to the high water requirements of fibres that act as substitutes for the gluten in traditional baking, and the production of an oxygenated colloidal dough from this hydrated dough, to facilitate, when applicable, the subsequent leavening thereof, during and after the production of the colloidal dough. The leavened or unleavened gluten-free bakery and patisserie products obtained have organoleptic and rheological proprieties similar to those of products with gluten.
