Publication number: 20150359248Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrate food composition and the use said food composition for preparing a bouillon, soup, sauce, gravy or seasoned dish. The dissolution or dispersion of the known high-salt food concentrates in water or through a dish may often take several minutes, while a rapid dissolution and dispersion through the dish is of high importance. Therefore, there is a need for a food concentrate that allows high dilution rates while maintaining the taste impact and which food concentrate dissolves relatively rapid in hot water or a hot dish. It has been found that a food concentrate in the form of a gel having a pH lower than 3.5, comprising water, sodium salt and a gelling pectin, dissolves quickly in hot water or a hot dish.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2013Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Sabrina SILVA PAES, Stephan Georg SCHUMM
