  • Patent number: 5091200
    Abstract: Described is a process for producing cooked browned baked goods including the steps of:(a) providing a particulate flowable flavoring powder which contains individually discretly encapsulated Maillard reaction reagents with the reaction reagents being at least one encapsulated amino acid and at least one encapsulated sugar;(b) providing an uncooked baked goods foodstuff, e.g., dough;(c) coating the composition of (a) onto the surface of the uncooked foodstuff; and(d) exposing the flavoring powder coated foodstuff surface to microwave radiation for a period of time to cause the foodstuff to be edible and to be brownedwhereby the resulting product is caused to be edible as a foodstuff and the baked goods is edibly browned.

  • Patent number: 5064669
    Abstract: Novel controlled release flowable flavoring powders and processes and apparatus for preparing and using such agents, the processes comprising heating a high melting point encapsulating or enrobing material, such as a fat and/or wax and one or more emulsifiers to melt this starting material; mixing one or more water-containing flavor compositions with a texture conditioning agent; mixing the flavor compositions and texture conditioning agent(s) with the molten fat or wax to obtain a homogeneous mixture in the form of an emulsion; and chilling the flavor composition-containing mixture to provide discrete particles of solid encapsulated flavoring agent, together with the products so produced and methods for using same.

  • Patent number: 4360537
    Abstract: Liproprotein emulsion system composed of protein, edible oil and other selected food ingredients are proposed and used to replace egg yolk and other natural materials in various food products. New and improved processes are described for the preparation of lipoprotein emulsions in a liquid or dry form for use in cake; protein beverages and other food compositions. These processes include methods to improve the solubility and functional properties of the protein component. The lipoprotein system can be used alone or in combination with egg white or other heat coagulable proteins to be a complete or partial substitute for whole eggs. Examples illustrate the practice of this invention to replace egg yolk in cake, donut, muffin, custard and like products.
