  • Publication number: 20100303991
    Abstract: Substantially uniform hydration and dispersion of high amounts of protein and fiber are achieved while avoiding lump formation, hard textures, and off-tastes in the continuous, mass production of high protein and high fiber content sheetable doughs, and baked goods such as crackers, snacks, and cookies made from the sheeted doughs, by hydrating the protein and fiber with water at a temperature below the denaturization temperature of the proteins, and steaming the hydrated mixture without substantial gelatinization of starch during dough production. The steamed, hydrated mass may be admixed with ingredients comprising at least one flour comprising starch to obtain a dough while avoiding substantial gelatinization of starch of the at least one flour during mixing. The baked goods may have a protein content of at least about 4 g, a fiber content of at least about 4 g, and a whole grain flour content of at least about 4 g per 30 g serving.

  • Publication number: 20080292773
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a modified starch to increase the dietary fiber content of food compositions processed under harsh conditions. By using certain modified starches, food formulations may be harshly processed while retaining substantial dietary fiber. Further, such modified starches provide dietary fiber without the negative effects on textural or organoleptic properties of the food compositions which are typically associated with the addition of other dietary fiber sources.

  • Publication number: 20060263503
    Abstract: High amylose flour may be processed by a short hydrothermal treatment to increase its total dietary fiber (TDF) content. These flours may be prepared by heating a high amylose flour at a total water content of from about 10 to 50% by weight at a temperature of from about 80 to 160° C., for about 0.5 to 15 minutes at target temperature. This invention further relates to products which contain the high TDF flour, including food products.
