Disclosed herein include methods of reducing the viscosity of a starch slurry during starch processing by the addition of one or more surfactants and one or more amylases. In some embodiments, the unexpected reduction in slurry viscosity results in a surprising increase in corn oil recovery, reduction in residual starch, and increased fermentation rate.

To provide a processed grain product enabling manufacturing of a softened processed grain product for individuals who are elderly or who have difficulty in chewing or swallowing that maintains a post-threshing or post-polishing shape. The processed grain product according to the present invention is a processed grain product wherein the post-threshing or post-polishing shape is maintained, wherein a portion of the starch that is included in the processed grain product gelatinized, and that includes an externally derived degrading enzyme in a state that has enzymatic activity, and wherein the water content is less than 15%.

The present invention relates to an oligo-saccharide oat liquid composition, an oligo-saccharide oat powder composition and an oligo-saccharide oat drink having improved properties and immunomodulatory efficacy (for example, promotion of proliferation of immune cells), a micro-milling process involving quadri-enzyme hydrolysis for preparing the same, and uses thereof.

Disclosed herein are methods for preparing modified starches, and uses thereof, and relates to the technical field of starch preparation; modifying a gelatinized starch suspension with β-amylase; after inactivating the β-amylase, further modifying with a branching enzyme, after inactivating the branching enzyme, further modifying with pullulanase, after inactivating the pullulanase, precipitating a resulting enzymatic hydrolysate with an alcohol to obtain precipitates; and drying the precipitates to obtain the modified starch. The methods disclosed a starch is modified remarkably, herein substantially increase the number of linear chains with a degree of polymerization DP6-11 in the starch chains and, thus, significantly increase the content of resistant starch in the modified starch—thereby facilitating the use in foods and medicaments.

A process for producing maltitol includes at least: producing a maltose syrup, by hydrolysis of a granular starch, in a first stage of liquefaction of granular starch to form a liquefied starch, followed by a stage of saccharification of the liquefied starch to which an aqueous solution of beta-amylase has been added, to form the maltose syrup; hydrogenating the maltose syrup to form an aqueous maltitol composition; and recovering the maltitol composition. The aqueous solution of beta-amylase also includes potassium sorbate, glycerol, and sodium carbonate.

The present invention deals with a method for improving the rollability of flat breads comprising a) adding a maltogenic alpha-amylase and a beta amylase to a flour or directly to a dough comprising a flour; b) making the dough; and c) making flat breads from the dough.

Provided herein are edible compositions for reducing semen viscosity and/or enhancing semen flavor, and methods of using and preparing such compositions.
