Publication number: 20200100515Abstract: An oat composition comprising water, hydrolyzed oats, undissolved solids, dissolved solids, emulsifier, and suspension stabilizer. The hydrolyzed oats are 1 to 10% by weight of the oat composition and can be whole grain. The suspension stabilizer concentration is effective to maintain the undissolved solids in suspension in the oat composition upon activation so that at least 90% by volume of the oat composition is a single solid-in-liquid suspension at the end of a suspension test, where the solid-in-liquid suspension comprises water and a majority the undissolved solids in the oat composition. The viscosity of the oat composition is 6 to 30 cP at 8° C. at a shear rate of 50/s. The hydrolyzed oats are provided by hydrolyzing starch in starting oats comprising a pre-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio. The hydrolyzed oats comprise a post-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio equal to the pre-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio within a tolerance of +/?10%.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: April 2, 2020Inventors: Zeinab Ali, Pietro Caruso, Connie Cerdena, Kathlene McManus, Gopinathan Meletharayil, Brian Yu

Publication number: 20190388480Abstract: A pre-conditioned probiotic composition and method of forming the pre-conditioned probiotic composition comprises introducing thawed probiotic cells into a pre-conditioning environment having sufficient nutrients and conditions to prepare the thawed probiotic cells for surviving and successfully thriving in a targeted food product. Thawed probiotic cells are then provided with an incubation period of at least 2 hours to produce inoculation pre-treated probiotic cells with improved shelf life in a food product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventors: Zeinab ALI, Varadharajan Radhamani BASKER, Yumin CHEN, Cordula FRANKRONE, Juan GONZALEZ, Prabhakar KASTURI, Yih Jennifer LEE, Tracy MUI, Elizabeth Gutierrez PRICE, James D.

Patent number: 8993032Abstract: A protein rehydration/recovery beverage composition is provided, including an aqueous component such as water, hydrolyzed protein, and sodium acid sulfate and at least one other edible acid. The hydrolyzed protein may be hydrolyzed whey and optionally hydrolyzed collagen. In addition, the beverage composition may include at least one carbohydrate, such as sucrose, and one or more non-nutritive sweeteners. A protein rehydration/recovery beverage composition is provided, including an aqueous component, hydrolyzed proteins and an acid blend. The acid blend contains a first acid component including at least one of phosphoric acid and citric acid, and a second acid component including at least one of tartaric acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, and lactic acid. Also, a method for making a protein recovery beverage composition that has a pH of less than about 4.2. The rehydration/recovery beverage is stable and clean tasting, and has a low viscosity.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Stokely-Van Camp, Inc.Inventors: Liangji Xu, Vincent Rinaldi, Zeinab Ali, Kelly Van Dyke, Andrew Damin

Patent number: 8435590Abstract: A carbohydrate blend is provided, including at least fructose and glucose. Some or all of the glucose may be provided by glucooligosaccharides having a structure containing up to ten degrees of saccharide polymerization. An aqueous solution having 6% by weight of the carbohydrate blend has a measured osmolality of 230-300 mOsm/kg. Further, the measured osmolality of the carbohydrate solution is substantially stable during storage for up to six months. Also, a rehydration/sports beverage composition is provided, including water, a carbohydrate blend, electrolytes, and optionally edible acids, coloring agents, flavoring agents and the like. The beverage composition may have a measured osmolality of about 230-260 mOsm/kg, which provides faster absorption by the gastrointestinal system of a subject than a beverage composition with a higher osmolality.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Stokely-Van Camp, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Rinaldi, Jeff Zachwieja, Xiaocai Shi, Zeinab Ali

Publication number: 20110300266Abstract: An electrolyte blend is provided having a minimal salty taste in water or other rehydration compositions. One electrolyte blend includes sodium lactate and potassium chloride. An alternate electrolyte blend includes sodium lactate, potassium gluconate, and calcium chloride. The electrolyte blend may be provided as a beverage product, for example a rehydration product containing carbohydrates. In addition, a rehydration beverage composition is provided including water, at least one sweetener, at least one acid, and an electrolyte blend including sodium chloride, sodium lactate, and at least one of potassium chloride, potassium citrate and monopotassium phosphate. An alternate beverage composition is provided including water, at least one sweetener, at least one acid, and an electrolyte blend including sodium chloride, magnesium oxide, calcium lactate, and at least one of potassium chloride, potassium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, sodium lactate and calcium chloride.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: STOKELY-VAN CAMP, INC.Inventors: Vincent Rinaldi, Jia Khiun Wee, Marina Braslavskaya, Zeinab Ali, Victoire Aubry
