Publication number: 20240081386Abstract: Starch-based extruded food products and methods for manufacturing starch-based extruded food products, such as snacks, are disclosed. For example, a starch-based dough may be extruded, cut, and cooked to form a starch-based extruded food product with a rigid extruded body. The cooking process may include baking and/or frying the cut extrusion. The rigid extruded body of the starch-based extruded food product is made up of bodies or segments coupled at joints. The rigid extruded bodies are configured such that bodies of the rigid extruded body may be broken off or separated at the joints to be consumed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2019Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Mathieu Larronde-Larretche, Ailsa Jayne Dalgliesh, Hsiu-Wu Guo, Michael Keoni Manion, Kathryn Grace Marston, Nebojsa Milanovich, Deepali Palta, Bradley Scott Shepard, Melissa Marie Smith, Ross Chase Sundin, Maxwell Weil, Amanda Shinae Zila

Patent number: 10178876Abstract: Nutritious granular materials of fine particle sizes agglomerated within versatile micropellets are useful for inserting significant amounts of nutritious properties into snack foods. Expandable micropellet-containing formulations provide for introduction of fine particle ingredients such as proteins, minerals and other components or desirable nutrients into food processing lines not typically amenable to the fine particle sizes. Micropellet-containing formulations may consist entirely of micropellets, or may contain an expandable starch such as, for example, corn meal, sheeted doughs, and expanded collet products onto which the micropellets may be basted.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Frito-Lay North America, Inc.Inventors: Stefan K. Baier, Ajay Rajeshwar Bhaskar, Eugenio Bortone, Pierre Faa, Chien-Seng Hwang, Jorge C. Morales-Alvarez, Deepali Palta

Patent number: 9253996Abstract: A sustainable method and system for producing bio-fuels from citrus peels and the recovery of limonene and pectin prior to fermentation of the peel solids. In one embodiment a sustainable method and system for the concurrent recovery of limonene and pectin from citrus peels is disclosed. The peels are optionally zested, mixed with water and an acid, and then exploded in a jet cooker or a pressurized extruder. The exploded peels are transferred to a flash vessel where the remaining limonene and water vapor are separated into water and limonene. The pectin fraction is removed from the flash tank and extracted by centrifuge, precipitation and/or filtration. The remaining peel solids are fermented in an anaerobic digester which produces methane, ethanol, acids, CO2 or other end products which can be used as fuel for power generation equipment sufficient to supply the processing system for sustainable operations as described herein.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Frito-Lay North America, Inc.Inventors: Robert Godfroid, Deepali Palta, Sridevi Narayan-Sarathy, William B.

Publication number: 20110256293Abstract: Legumes having a raw moisture content of between about 19% to about 45% are pressure cooked to a moisture content of between about 42% to about 49%. The legumes may also be subjected to a low thermal stress dewatering at less than about 160° F. After grinding, additional ingredients such as starches, fibers, protein, and/or vitamin and mineral fortification can be added prior to forming a legume-based dough. Kneaded or shaped dough can be cooked and seasoned to make a nutritious snack food comprising between about 5 and about 6 grams of protein per one ounce serving, or between about 10%-30% protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2010Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: FRITO-LAY NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Deepali Palta, Richard Todd Smith, James William Stalder
