Abstract: Bread products are prepared by treating a starch material in water with a carbohydrase so that the carbohydrase liquefies the starch material and so that starch of the starch material is gelatinized, combining the product of the treatment with water, a starch material, a vegetable oil and lecithin so that an emulsion is obtained, heating the emulsion to gelatinize starch material and to stabilize the emulsion, drying the emulsion to obtain a powder and combining the powder with wheat flour, sugar, raising agent and water ingredients to obtain a dough, and thereafter, the dough may be stored at a temperature of from -40.degree. C. to +10.degree. C., or the dough may be baked and the baked product also may be stored at a temperature of from -40.degree. C. to +10.degree. C.

Abstract: A complete, nutritionally balanced coffee drink providing caloric and protein nutritional support for patients, particularly elderly and long-term care patients is provided. An instant coffee composition, a method for making the instant coffee composition and coffee drink made therefrom are described. The composition and drink has a caloric distribution including from about 16% to 30% of a protein component, from about 40% to 60% of a carbohydrate component and from about 15% to 33% of a lipid component. The instant coffee composition readily dissolves in hot water to provide a beverage which looks and tastes like black coffee which may be administered to a patient in need of nutritional support.
