A method for producing alcoholic beverages from alkaline cooking, using as a basis the increase in pH in the medium to cook cacahuazintle corn grains, other similar mealy corn or any other grain, which offers a different proposal due to the generation of flavors, aromas and sensory characteristics that differentiate the products obtained by the methods herein disclosed from existing alcoholic beverages. A method for producing alcohol for human consumption and/or industrial use from the recovery and treatment of nejayote obtained from alkaline cooking residues, also known as nixtamalization of corn, applied to any alkaline cooking residue in the alimentary field.

The present snack-type food product with high hypoproteic content comprises proteins of high biological value (HBV), in which the principal macronutrients are protein, sugars, carbohydrates and fats. This snack-type food product was specifically developed for patients undergoing haemodialysis treatment. The snack-type food product has sensory characteristics that allow it to achieve better acceptance in comparison with other products available on the market.

The invention relates to a method for preparing a lipid-rich microalgal flour, which comprises the following steps: (a) providing a microalgal biomass comprising more than 50% of lipids by dry weight of biomass; (b) lyzing the microalgae, (c) concentrating the microalgal lyzate to a solids content of more than 25% by weight, preferably to a solids content of between 35% and 50% by weight, (d) applying a heat treatment to the lyzate thus concentrated, (e) homogenizing at high pressure the lyzate obtained in step (d), so as to obtain a stable emulsion, (f) drying said emulsion to obtain the microalgal flour.

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 purpose of the present invention is to produce dried noodles in which “cracking of noodle strings”, which has been a problem accompanying high-temperature hot-air drying, is prevented or suppressed. Disclosed are dried noodles including: a main ingredient; and at least one crosslinked pregelatinized potato starch selected from the group consisting of etherified, cross-linked, pregelatinized potato starch, and esterified, cross-linked, pregelatinized potato starch, wherein the viscosity of the cross-linked, pregelatinized, potato starch is 50 mPa.Math.s or less under measurement conditions where the slurry temperature is 20° C., the slurry concentration is 5% by mass, and the revolving speed is 60 rpm.

The present invention relates to a vegan food composition comprising at least 5 wt % cereal and at least 10 wt % legume on a dry basis, wherein said composition comprises at least 2 wt % dietary fiber provided by cereal and legume and at least 5 wt % protein provided by any one or more of said cereal and legume, and wherein the D4,3 particle size of said composition is less than 100 microns.

The present invention relates to a vegan food composition comprising at least 10 wt % cereal on a dry basis and at least 5 wt % oilseeds on a dry basis, wherein said composition comprises at least 2 wt % dietary fiber provided by cereal and oilseeds and at least 5 wt % protein provided by any one or more of said cereal and oilseeds, and wherein the D4,3 particle size of said composition is less than 100 micron.

The present disclosure provides a novel and gentle process for producing oat-based products containing oat proteins that have good functional properties, including solubility, emulsifying, foaming and gelling properties. This process includes hydrolysis to break down carbohydrates, physical separation to remove insoluble fibers, and membrane filtration to concentrate oat proteins by the removal of sugars. The method can include providing an oat mixture; hydrolyzing the oat mixture with an enzyme or a combination of enzymes; physically separating an insoluble material from the hydrolyzed oat mixture to form a soluble hydrolyzed oat mixture; applying membrane filtration to the soluble hydrolyzed oat mixture using a membrane having molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) greater than 100 kDa.
