Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] The present invention reduces usage of sodium chloride by adding magnesium chloride, and overcomes problems occurring in using magnesium chloride. [Solution] The present inventors have found that when magnesium chloride is added instead of sodium chloride to noodle strings and a reducing sugar is further added, preferable well-cooked feeling and appearance are imparted in subsequent production process for instant noodles, and thus, the present invention was accomplished. Specifically, the present invention relates to noodle strings for use in production of instant noodles, the noodle strings containing a raw material powder, magnesium chloride and a reducing sugar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an environment-friendly, safe and non toxic vegetable and fruit wash composition and its use. The vegetable and fruit wash composition of the present invention ensures removal of dirt, microorganisms, pesticides and/or insecticides from the surfaces of fruits and vegetables. The present composition is also effective in preventing early fruit ripening, crown-rot disease and fruit blackening thus contributes towards extending the life of the fruits/vegetables.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition suitable for preparing a dairy product comprising at least one starter culture and a Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain capable of imparting onto the dairy product an enhanced creamy flavor without affecting the rheology negatively, the fermentation time or the post-acidification of the dairy product. The present invention further relates to processes for preparing a dairy product, such as a low-fat yogurt or cheese, which has a high content of diacetyl. A Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain useful for preparing such dairy product is also part of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention discloses a strain of Monascus purpureus with high esters producing activity and the application in the production of ester flavored Monascus cheese. The strain was deposited in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on Oct. 17, 2019, with the preservation number of CGMCC 18589. The strain can make the cheese flavor having less pungent, and richer, significantly improve the odor quality of cheese, thus more in line with the taste of Chinese people. Moreover, some secondary metabolites responsible for health benefits including hypolipidemia, antihypertensive, antioxidant, and antihyperglycemic effects and prevention of obesity and diabetes development have been recognized in Monascus-fermented cheese.

Abstract: A meat analogue may include a macrostructure of connected sheared fibers oriented parallel to one another and gaps positioned between the sheared fibers. The macrostructure may include meat and may include a vegetable protein. An extrusion system may include an extruder and a die. The extrusion system may produce a meat analogue. A meat analogue may include an animal protein. The extruder may be connectable to the die. The extrusion system may be configured to direct a material including an animal protein from the extruder to the die and through a fluid path extending through the die. The die may be configured to inject a fat or a fat analogue into the material such that the fat or the fat analogue is embedded but visually distinct from the material including the animal protein when the fat or the fat analogue and the material exit the die.

Abstract: An interlocking baked food brick maker has an electric heating element and an interlocking baked food brick mold. The interlocking baked food brick mold has stud cavities on a bottom plate and recess projections on a top plate so that it makes interlocking baked food bricks that have studs on top and matching recesses on the bottom. The studs of one interlocking baked food brick fit into the recesses of another interlocking baked food brick so that multiple interlocking baked food bricks can be joined together to form a structure.
