The present disclosure relates generally to formulations, compositions or foodstuff additives for use in modulating a glycemic response for treating or preventing diabetes or obesity and processes and method of its manufacture. Described is a formulation, a composition or a foodstuff for modulating a glycemic response manufactured from at least one phenylpropanoid encapsulated in a first cyclodextrin; and a second cyclodextrin. Preferably, the at least one phenylpropanoid is quercetin, phlorizin, myricetin, dihydromyricetin or any combination thereof, the first cyclodextrin is gamma cyclodextrin, and the second cyclodextrin is alpha cyclodextrin.

A soft baked snack including a high protein matrix and particulates that retains a soft, moist eating experience over an extended shelf life is described. The high protein matrix includes collagen, a hydrolyzed dairy protein, a structural protein, and structure setting protein to achieve a desired eating experience. Methods of making a soft baked snack are also disclosed.

Described herein are food ingredients made up of oligosaccharide compositions, and methods of producing such food ingredients, as well as methods of using such food ingredients in food products. The present application addresses this need in the art by providing oligosaccharide compositions that have similar physical characteristics to commercially available carbohydrate sources, such as fiber, but lower metabolic energy. Methods of producing such oligosaccharide compositions suitable for use in food products are also provided herein.

The invention relates to a bread dough, which includes:

one or more fructans having two or more fructosyl moieties linked by a beta(2,1) bond,

one or more inulinases (EC 3.2.1.7 and EC 3.2.1.80), and

one or more invertases (3.2.1.26), the bread dough having a total added sugar content of 0-5 wt. %, based on dry weight.

The invention further relates to a bread obtained by baking the dough and to a sugar replacement system for bread and to a bread pre-mix.

Starch-free baked comestible goods and aqueous slurries (batters) for preparation of starch-free baked comestible goods include a combination of three different protein components that are protein concentrates or protein isolates, wherein the protein components differ by solubility in water and/or particle size when suspended in an aqueous medium. The combination of three protein components, particularly in certain weight ratios, enables the preparation of starch-free baked comestible goods including doughnuts, muffins, cakes, and bars as well as other commonly recognized desirable comestible formats. The starch-free baked comestible goods have an improved texture and extended shelf-life as compared to previously developed starch-free baked comestible goods.

Edible fat-containing product comprising 30-99 wt. % of a fat phase, wherein the product further comprises 0.01-3 wt. % of a plant-based protein and 0.05-3 wt. % of a sugar, the remainder being an aqueous phase up to 100 wt. %, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the product, a method for its preparation and the use of sugar in an edible fat-containing product as a browning agent.

Described herein are food ingredients made up of oligosaccharide compositions, and methods of producing such food ingredients, as well as methods of using such food ingredients in food products. The present application addresses this need in the art by providing oligosaccharide compositions that have similar physical characteristics to commercially available carbohydrate sources, such as fiber, but lower metabolic energy. Methods of producing such oligosaccharide compositions suitable for use in food products are also provided herein.

A taco shell is produced by applying a plasticizing agent to a base or spine portion of a hard taco shell, such as by targeted spraying, rolling, brushing or dipping of the taco shells, thereby softening the base or spine portion, preferably across a strip width between 4 mm-20 mm. As a result, when the taco shell is bitten, the softened base portion has some hinging flexibility or pliability which reduces the potential for any crack propagation. Therefore, the structural integrity of the hard taco shell can be better maintained while be eaten, resulting in retention of the fillings and less mess. If desired, an anti-migration agent can also be applied to assure containment of the plasticizing agent in the targeted region.

The present invention relates a sugar reduced wafer composition comprising, 60-80 wt. % of flour, 10-23 wt. % of sucrose, 0.5-8.0 wt. %, preferably 0.5-5 wt. % of oil or fat and 5-20 wt. % of non-digestible fibers wherein the total amount of mono and disaccharides is 10-25 wt. %; all wt. % being in weight percentage of the composition dry mass. The invention also relates to a baked sugar reduced wafer such as a wafer cone or edible container made with this composition and a process for manufacturing the sugar reduced wafer.

A low net carbohydrate soft baked snack having a good texture, flavor, structure, and shelf stability is described. A soft baked snack includes a beneficial combination of fiber, sugar alcohol, including erythritol, and protein. Methods of making a soft baked snack are also described.
