  • Publication number: 20230024363
    Abstract: A converted starch is disclosed, wherein it has a molecular weight, MW, of 250,000-5,000,000 g/mol, a degree of branching of 3.1-3.9%, an amylose content of at most 7%, and a DE (dextrose equivalents) value of 0.05-0.5, as well as a food product containing the converted starch, a method for the production of said converted starch, wherein it comprises the steps of adding a glucan branching enzyme, chosen from Rhodothermus obamesis or Rhodothermus marinus enzymes and enzymes from similar organisms having at least 60% amino acid sequence identity with the Rhodothermus obamesis or Rhodothermus marinus enzyme to an aqueous composition containing starch in a concentration of at least 5% by weight at a temperature of 45-80° C., until a converted starch having a branching degree of 3.1-3.9% is obtained, optionally followed by drying said aqueous solution to a powder of the converted starch, and use of said converted starch for the production of the food product.

  • Publication number: 20180042265
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of a food grade coagulated potato protein concentrate is disclosed, wherein it comprises the steps of a) separating fibers and starch from a potato pulp, wherein a potato fruit juice containing potato protein is obtained, b) coagulating the potato protein in the potato fruit juice by adjusting the pH to an acidic value and by heating, wherein a coagulated potato protein slurry containing particles of coagulated potato protein is obtained, c) reducing the total glycoalkaloid content in the coagulated potato protein slurry to less than 150 mg/kg protein concentrate, and d) actively reducing the particle size of the of potato protein particles by physical means in such a way that a coagulated potato protein concentrate is obtained in which 90% of said particles have a particle size of less than 55 ?m, as well as a food grade coagulated potato protein concentrate produced with said method, use of the food grade coagulated potato protein concentrate in a food product, and a food produc
