Abstract: A system and method for the continuous production of brown butter involves concentrating butter while retaining solids non-fat in the butter, and continuously transferring and heating the concentrated butter to cause the solids non-fat in the butter to react in a maillard reaction to form a brown butter product. The system may use one or more of a heating vessel, an evaporator and a reaction vessel to form the brown butter in the continuous process. A brown butter product derived from butter includes reacted solids non-fat particulates from a maillard reaction suspended by nascent fat crystals nucleated about the reacted solids non-fat particulates and by large fat crystal structures joined to the nascent fat crystals.

Abstract: A method for increasing in a baked product, after baking, the level of water-soluble arabinoxylan with an average degree of polymerization ranging from 5 to 50, comprising preparing a dough for a baked product with flour having a total arabinoxylan content of at least 2.0%, and adding to the dough an enzyme preparation comprising at least one thermophilic endoxylanase in an amount at least two-fold higher than the amount conferring 90% of the maximal bread volume increase obtained by addition of such enzyme preparation to the recipe of the baked product. Using this method, baked products can be obtained that have a level of arabinoxylan of at least 1.7% The present invention further relates to baked products obtainable by this method, and to an improver and a dough which may be used for the preparation of such products.

Abstract: A composition for retarding spoilage of coffee includes tara extract and glutathione along with propyl gallate or a synthetic antioxidant which is tert-butyl hydroquinone or butylated hydroxyanisole or ethoxyquin or ethoxyquin phosphate.

Abstract: Protein concentrates and protein isolates, in addition to processes for the production of protein concentrates hydrolyzates thereof and protein isolates, are disclosed. In particular, the disclosure relates to a process for removing fiber from an oilseed meal, comprising: i) mixing an oilseed meal with a blending solvent, optionally water, saline solution, polysaccharide solution or protein containing solution, to form a mixture; ii) optionally adjusting the pH of the protein slurry to a pH of about 2 to about 10; iii) separating the mixture to form a protein slurry comprising soluble and insoluble proteins and an insoluble fiber fraction, and iv) extracting the protein slurry with an alcohol containing solvent to render soluble protein insoluble and separating and recovering the insoluble protein.

Abstract: A shelf stable fried product and a process for creating a shelf stable fried product is disclosed. Aspects include a process for managing fat migration, moisture migration, and cell degrading of a food product during frying. Aspects further include a resulting shelf stable food product that includes a crispy and/or crunchy texture and a desirable fat distribution.

Abstract: Nobel Stevia Sweetening components are provided. Through the analysis of the components of the nobel Steviol Glycoside included in the stevia extract and/or crystals, not only the quality control of sweeteners, but judgment on the correctness of indication of origin or infringement of right are facilitated since the raw material of the sweetener can be identified.

Abstract: A shelf-stable, non-refrigerated reduced-calorie beverage that contains about 8 to about 12% fruit juice by volume is provided. The beverage contains at least one nutritive sweetener and at least one non-nutritive sweetener. Preferably, the equivalent sucrose sweetness ratio of the at least one non-nutritive sweetener to all of the total sweeteners is from about 0.35 to about 0.45. Preferably, the at least one non-nutritive sweetener comprises aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

Abstract: The invention describes compositions that include rebaudioside D, processes to produce rebaudioside D and formulations that provide ratios of rebaudioside A to rebaudioside D to decrease the aftertaste of rebaudioside A.
