  • Publication number: 20170251704
    Abstract: A method for flocculation of root or tuber juice is described having the advantage that dissolved protein remains unaffected and that clear potato juice with an OD620 below 0.8 is obtained. This is important for applications in which soluble protein is to be extracted from root or tuber juice, because it increases lifetime of the used equipment. The method involves a) use of a coagulant comprising a cationic coagulant and a flocculant comprising an anionic polyacrylamide with a specific viscosity of 4-6 mPa·s and a charge density between 45 and 75%; or b) use of a coagulant comprising a polymeric silicate of formula SiO32? and a flocculant comprising a cationic polyacrylamide with a specific viscosity of 3-5 mPa·s and a charge density of at most 30%; or c) use of a coagulant comprising a cationic or neutral coagulant and a flocculant comprising carrageenan. The invention further provides valuable root- or tuber derived materials, such as the floc material, a potato lipid isolate or an amino acid material.

  • Publication number: 20130216679
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for manufacturing a bread containing dried fruit for preventing the staling of bread attributable to the effects of a dried fruit kneaded therein so as to sustain the soft texture of the bread for a long period, and to provide a bread containing dried fruit manufactured by this method. A method for manufacturing a bread containing dried fruit according to the invention comprises blending a glutinous (waxy) gelatinised hydroxypropyl starch in a starting material flour during the manufacture of a bread containing dried fruit. Because this method for manufacturing a bread of the present invention can be implemented by blending a glutinous, gelatinised hydroxypropyl starch in a starting material flour, with essentially no alteration to the normal bread-manufacturing process required, a product that ages at a rate comparable to that of a bread in which no dried fruit has been kneaded can be produced.
