Abstract: Monk fruit extracts containing mogrol glycosides such as mogroside V may be treated with enzymes under specific reaction conditions to shift distribution of the Siamenoside I reaction product. Modified enzymes are also employed to shift Siamenoside I distribution to increase yield of Siamenoside I and reduce reaction contaminants. Methods of purifying bioconversion reaction product are also described. Siamenoside I obtained using these methods is a useful sweetener and flavor enhancer for food and beverage compositions and the like.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of nanofiber emulsion, in particular to application of nanofiber emulsion to preparation of baked food. The nanofiber emulsion is nanofiber emulsion of a pomelo peel sponge layer, and is PCNF emulsion obtained by emulsification of a nanofiber emulsion stabilizer of the pomelo peel sponge layer and an oil phase; the amount of the nanofiber emulsion in the baked food is 18-90%, and the nanofiber emulsion replaces oil in traditional baked food; when the PCNF emulsion is added to the batter, bubble density of the batter is larger, and proper addition of the PCNF emulsion can reduce specific gravity of the batter, improve aeratability of the batter with soybean oil, reduce a baking loss rate and water activity, and prolong the shelf life of the cakes with the PCNF emulsion; hardness and chewiness of the cakes can be reduced.

Abstract: The present embodiments generally relate to beverages with enhanced flavors and aromas and method of making same. Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to soluble coffee and methods of making soluble coffee with improvements in such qualities as taste and aroma.

Abstract: A moveable mould member is configured for use in an installation for moulding food products from a pumpable foodstuff mass. The mould member has a permeable mould body with an outer surface forming at least part of the outer mould member surface, which outer surface of the permeable mould body is fluid tight; mould cavities and a permeable volume defining fine openings opening out at the mould cavities, such that each mould cavity of the permeable mould body is delimited at least in part by a permeable volume. In addition, the mould drum has, for each group of mould cavities from which food products are to be ejected simultaneously, an ejection fluid inlet allowing the entry of pressurized fluid, and one or more channels extending from the associated ejection fluid inlet to the one or more permeable volumes of the group of mould cavities.

Abstract: A process for transglucosylation of steviol glycosides. A sweetener composition having at least 95% total glycosylated steviol glycosides.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and/or techniques for the production of cold-brew coffee extracts, which enable continuous and rapid extraction and simultaneously improved yield of aromatic constituents and nutritionally beneficial components (e.g., polyphenols, antioxidants, and/or sugars) when compared to known cold-brew techniques. The method enables continuous processing within a shortened time frame, while producing extracts with improved flavour yield, intensity and body. In addition, cold-brew coffee extracts and instant powders prepared by said methods are described.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for brewing coffee of high quality and better taste while also enabling users to utilize less coffee grounds per brewing cycle, thereby achieving significant cost savings. A basket that houses a packet of coffee grounds is housed within a carafe that stores water. The basket is fabricated so that water may enter therein and exit therefrom, and the packet of coffee grounds enables water and natural coffee oils to penetrate the packet, but does not allow coffee grounds to escape the packet. The carafe is filled with water that is gradually heated from at or around tap temperature to approximately boiling. While the water in the chamber is heated, the basket is agitated. This causes the gradually heating water to enter the basket and agitate the packet, thereby extracting natural coffee oil from the grounds stored within the packet, which creates brewed coffee.

Abstract: Shown herein is a nutritional supplement containing apple cider vinegar (ACV), including compositions, formulations, and combinations of ingredients in the ACV nutritional supplement, as well as processes for manufacturing these supplements. The nutritional supplement can include ACV, a gelling agent such as pectin or gelatin, an oligosaccharide, a disaccharide, and water.
