The present invention provides stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) compositions, and food articles comprising said compositions.

A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition, and retards the rate of oxidation thereof.

A spread for a snack product includes a dough piece, particularly produced from potatoes, bread doughs and/or rice. The spread has a cheese component that consists of fresh cheese and cheese of at least one further cheese type, and a sauce component having a cream content and a starch content added to the spread. A snack product which includes the spread arranged on the dough piece is also provided. Furthermore, a method for producing a snack product includes pressing the spread into or folding the spread into the dough piece in frozen form.

Disclosed herein is one or more food compositions comprising at least one edible ingredient and a texturizing agent comprising an inhibited starch and a non-granular, enzymatically-debranched waxy potato starch. Also disclosed herein is a process for making said food compositions, the method comprising adding a texturizing agent comprising an inhibited starch and a non-granular, enzymatically-debranched waxy potato starch to the composition, wherein an effective amount of the texturizing agent is added to thicken the food composition. The texturizing agent can be used to replace protein and/or fat in said one or more food compositions.

The present invention provides stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formulations, comprising ACC and a non-aqueous liquid carrier in which the ACC is dispersed. The present invention further provides cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising ACC.

A plant-based cheese product, particularly cream cheese type products, is provided herein. The plant-based cheese products are in the form of an emulsion comprising a plant-based protein, a stabilizer, a starch-based thickening agent, and a fat component. The plant-based cheese has a spreadable texture and opaque appearance at both refrigerated and elevated temperatures.

A cheese product with a carrageenan casing comprises soft cheese encapsulated in a casing comprising carrageenan. The cheese product can be manufactured by forming a coating comprising carrageenan around a soft cheese, for example by co-extruding the soft cheese within a liquid coating material comprising carrageenan such that the coating material forms a tubular coating around the cheese. The cheese product can be used to form the stuffing in a stuffed-crust pizza.

The invention pertains to whey-bound fresh cheese such as cream cheese, and the stabilization thereof using granular starch and an amylomaltase-treated starch and/or an emulsifier, and to methods of making such fresh cheeses. Whey-bound fresh cheeses with these additional ingredients display increased stability, which makes them suitable for application in heated food products. In addition, the invention is directed to food products comprising such whey-bound fresh cheeses, as well to methods of making these food products, and to use of a granular starch and amylomaltase-treated starch for the stabilization of a whey-bound fresh cheese.

The present invention provides stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) formulations, comprising ACC and a non-aqueous liquid carrier in which the ACC is dispersed. The present invention further provides cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising ACC.
