Abstract: A ready-to-eat breakfast cereal includes a plurality of base cereal pieces fortified with high quality protein. The base cereal pieces consist of a starch-based ingredient, a protein ingredient component, oil and optionally a bran ingredient or other ingredients, but no added gums. The protein ingredient component includes wheat protein isolate or vital wheat gluten, as well as legume protein concentrate or legume protein isolate. A method of making ready-to-eat breakfast cereal incorporating the plurality of the base cereal pieces includes processing dough to form pellets, drying the pellets to form dried pellets and forming the dried pellets into cereal base pieces. Forming the dried pellets can include forming the dried pellets into flakes or shredded cereal biscuits. Another method of making ready-to-eat breakfast cereal incorporating the plurality of the base cereal pieces includes processing dough to form an expanded rope and forming the rope into pillow-shaped pieces.

Abstract: Puffed cereal pieces which are random and irregular in size and shape relative to each other are produced by forming a protein-based cereal dough, having a density of about 100-150 g/100 in3 and including about 30-60% plant protein by weight, in an extruder, extruding the cereal dough from a plurality of spaced, commonly shaped geometric openings of a die, directly expanding the cereal dough, cutting the cereal dough into extrudate pieces, and drying the extrudate pieces. The plant protein is derived from seeds, legumes or grains, with a particular embodiment employing a combination of soy protein isolate and one or more types of grains.

Abstract: A flexible annotation framework normalizes auxiliary information from diverse sources, ranks the information for an individual search result, and provides a lightweight or full display of the auxiliary information in an annotation for the search result. An annotation thus displays information not typically part of the details included in the search result. An example method comprises, for at least one item in a search result page, identifying at least one annotation of a first annotation type in an annotation data store that references the item, identifying at least one annotation for a second annotation type in an annotation data store that references the item, ranking the annotation of the first annotation type and the annotation of the second annotation type and providing the highest ranked annotation as part of a search result for the item in the search result page.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aerated strained fermented dairy compositions and processes for making aerated strained fermented dairy compositions. In particular, an aerated strained fermented dairy composition is disclosed that includes a strained fermented dairy ingredient, gelatin, and an emulsifier composition, where the aerated strained fermented dairy composition has a lower density than the strained fermented dairy ingredient.
