Abstract: In the process of the invention for manufacturing soft cheeses from raw milk, in the course of the phase of preparation of the milk before renneting, an acidiogen selected from the group consisting of gluconolactones and glucoheptonolactones is added to the milk in an amount sufficient to attain simply and reliably, in a predetermined time, the exact predetermined renneting pH comprised between 6.0 and 6.6, preferably between 6.0 and about 6.5. The acidogen is advantageously gluconodeltalactone. The process is applied in the manufacture of soft cheeses with mastery of the acidification phase of the milk.

Abstract: In the process of the invention for manufacturing marbled cheeses from raw milk, in the course of the phase of preparation of the milk before renneting, an acidogen selected from the group consisting of gluconolactones and glucoheptonolactones is added to the milk in an amount sufficient to attain simply and reliably, in a predetermined time, the exact predetermined renneting pH comprised between 6.0 and 6.6, preferably between 6.0 and about 6.5. The acidogen is advantageously gluconodeltalactone. The process is applied in the manufacture of marbled cheeses with mastery of the acidification phase of the milk.

Abstract: In the process of the invention for manufacturing cheeses from milk powder, by cold renneting, in the course of the phase of preparation of the milk before renneting, an acidogen selected from the group consisting of gluconolactones and glucoheptonolactones is added to the rehydrated milk in an amount sufficient to attain simply and reliably, in a predetermined time, the exact predetermined renneting pH having a value of 5.0 to 6.6. The acidogen is advantageously gluconodeltalactone. The process is applied in the manufacture of cheeses from milk powder, by cold renneting, with mastery of the acidification phase of the milk.

Abstract: In the process of the invention for manufacturing "semi-hard cheeses" of the type of uncooked or part-cooked pressed cheeses from milk, in the course of the phase of preparation of the milk before renneting, an acidogen selected from the group consisting of gluconolactones and glucoheptonolactones is added to the milk in an amount sufficient to attain simply and reliably, in a predetermined time, the exact predetermined renneting pH having a value between 6.65 and 6.30. The acidogen is advantageously gluconodeltalactone.

Abstract: Low alcohol beer is produced by a process wherein a portion of malt is replaced with a hydrogenated starch hydrolyzate. The hydrolyzate is preferably added before boiling of wort in the presence of hops in a amount to provide a final beer with 0.1 to 2% by weight hydrolyzate. The hydrolyzate has between 0.1 and 35% substances of DP 1, between 0.1 and 45% substance of DP 2, less than 45% substances greater than DP 20, and a remainder of substances of DP 3 to 20.

Abstract: Sugarless ice cream characterized by the fact that it comprises, as sweetening and texture forming agent, a polyol content of DP equal to or higher 3, higher than 2%, preferably than 3% or more preferably still than 6% and less than 15%, preferably than 12% by weight with respect to dry matter in the finished product.

Abstract: Sugarless hard candy comprising, on the one hand, as sugarless boiled sugar, a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate prepared from a starch hydrolysate having a D.E. of 42 to 60, on the other hand, a quantity of gum arabic between 1% and 8% by weight with respect to the finished product, preferably between 2% and 6% by weight, and/or an amount of CMC between 0.2 and 2% by weight with respect to the finished product, preferably between 0.3 and 1.2%.

Abstract: Syrup for candying having the following composition:______________________________________ total fructose content < 17.5% dextrose content < 35% maltose content < 25% content of polysaccharides of DP > 20 < 2%, ______________________________________the complement of 100% being constituted by saccharides of degree of polymerization ranging from 3 to 20.

Abstract: Process for hard coating with sorbitol. On the one hand, a sorbitol syrup having a concentration of 60 to 85% by weight is supplied on a moving bed of cores to be coated and, on the other hand, the temperature prevailing in the bed is kept at a value comprised between 50.degree. and 10.degree. C. The present coating process applies conveniently to cores of the "without sugar" type in the field of confectionery and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract: The invention relates to noncariogenic and sugarless chewing gum, and a process for manufacturing it.The chewing gum according to the invention is constituted by gum, by an aqueous softening agent and by one or several solid sweetening agents, of which notably mannitol, wherein the aqueous softening agent is at least partly constituted by a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate containing:less than 3% of polyols of DP higher than 20,less than 60% of maltitol (DP 2) andless than 19% of sorbitol (DP 1),the balance to 100 being constituted by a mixture of polyols of DP 3 to 20, the content of the final chewing gum in hydrolysate being from 5 to 35% in weight, preferably from 10 to 30% by weight, whereas its mannitol content decreases when the content of hydrolysate increases.

Abstract: Potato pulp as component in the manufacture of foods such as fruit compotes, marmalades, sauces and tomato-based preparations, fruit-juices and fruit-based drinks, confectionery and fruit pastry.

Abstract: Coloring material for the food industry constituted by a powdery mixture with more than about 85%, and preferably with more than 90% of dry matter formed essentially from about one-third of starch and from about two-thirds proteins, and obtained from the by-product, rich in proteins, of the corn starch factory generally denoted by the expression "protein milk" by a drying whose conditions are selected so that said powdery mixture responds to given conditions of granulometry, to the test conditions of tasting in butter and to the maximum permitted loss test to light reflexion as well as, preferably, to the conditions of the decantation test and of the unctuosity test.
