An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate which is inexpensive and is applicable to a food or beverage product. Disclosed is a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate, which comprises carrying out a saccharide polycondensation reaction in the presence of activated carbon.

The present invention concerns an ethanol with an alcohol by volume between 85% and 99%, and comprising a Hydroxy-Alkyl-Cellulose, the dosage of Hydroxy-Alkyl-Cellulose being limited so as to obtain a dynamic viscosity of less than 100 Pa.Math.s. This invention also concerns the use of such ethanol as combustible for cooking a foodstuff, or part of a foodstuff, in particular for safely cooking in the immediate vicinity of the person for whom the food is intended, so as to use cooking as a show.

Disclosed is a food product comprising a packaged quantity of raw fish, the fish having been combined, in the preferred embodiment, with diced vegetables, egg whites, seasonings, and other selected ingredients, thereby forming a food mixture. The entirety of the food mixture is inserted into a container, the container comprising a semi-elastic material and having the contour of an oblong, oval-shaped tubular food casing. Thereupon, the tubular food casing is sealed in an airtight manner. The tubular food casing, may also be vacuum sealed. The container may further be subjected to a process of flash freezing. The sealed tubular food casing, upon being accessed, may be thawed or reduced in temperature so as to allow a consumer to cut individually-sized sections of the tubular food casing for cooking in any selected manner, including baking, broiling, or frying.

A method is disclosed for making palatable methionine-restricted foods, to deliver a methionine-restricted diet to human or veterinary patients. A protein or a food product containing protein is partially oxidized, preferably with ozone, to oxidize nearly all of the methionine and cysteine. After oxidation, tryptophan and lysine are optionally added back since they tend to be oxidized also. Optionally, a small amount of methionine is also added back so that the final methionine is within a preferred range of about 0.85 to about 1.8 gram methionine per 100 gram total protein, preferably about 1.2 gram per 100 gram total protein.

A method for decolorization and deodorization of egg yolk oil comprises at least: adding a first ether solution to a crude egg yolk oil, and performing a first stirring process, to produce a first egg yolk oil mixture; adding activated carbon to the first egg yolk oil mixture, performing a second stirring process, and removing the activated carbon, to produce a second egg yolk oil mixture; adding a second ether solution and distilled water to the second egg yolk oil mixture, and performing a third stirring process, to produce a third egg yolk oil mixture; and removing distilled water, part of the first ether solution, and part of the second ether solution from the third egg yolk oil mixture by a distillation process, and removing the remaining first ether solution and the remaining second ether solution by a vacuum process to produce a decolorized and deodorized egg yolk oil.

A low or no refined sugar, high protein shelf stable food is described. A shelf stable food includes an aggregate component held together with a continuous phase that includes a water soluble protein and a soluble fiber, where the water soluble fiber contributes substantially all binding activity of the continuous phase. Methods of making a shelf stable food are also described.

A process for coating fresh eggs with a coating composition including coating the eggs with a polyethylene glycol-lactide aqueous dispersion, the process being useful for: reducing microbial content both within and outside the fresh eggs, preventing further contamination of the fresh eggs, extending the shelf life of the fresh eggs, maintaining the quality of the fresh eggs, and increasing the strength of the shells of the fresh eggs.

Engineered food to promote health and maintain homeostasis in a subject and methods of producing the food.

A process to coagulate wasted eggs which includes an acidification step of the liquid egg, followed by a coagulation step using a heat exchanger, such as a scraped surface heat exchanger, and optionally a drying step. The obtained coagulated egg product has useful properties and can be used as animal food. The process allows the disposal of wasted eggs generated in the poultry and related industries and the production of a valuable by-product with high protein and fat content.

To provide a production technique for an edible egg that contains a sufficient amount of ergothioneine by using the biological accumulation of the ergothioneine in eggs, and that has antioxidative activity. This ergothioneine-containing egg is obtained from a hen raised by being fed a hen feed for a prescribed time period, the hen feed being manufactured by manufacturing the ergothioneine-containing extract solution from a waste medium used in the production of edible mushrooms and mixing a prescribed amount of the extract solution into a feed for the hen used generally.
