Abstract: A calcium enriched seafood product according to this invention, which includes, but not limited to, a shelf stable, chilled and frozen tuna or salmon products or other similar shelf stable, can provide a considerable bone health benefit to consumers by providing as much as 412 mg/100 g of available calcium in the finished product. This disclosure comprising the additional calcium supplement wherein the amount of calcium in final product is in the range of 0.5 to 5.0% (w/w) of the total weight of said product and wherein the sources of additional calcium supplement can be selected from raw or partially purified animal or fish bone or partially purified fish bone or inorganic calcium compound.

Abstract: A revolutionized tuna process according to this invention generally comprising the steps of thawing of frozen tuna, de-heading and degutting, fileting, de-skinning, cleaning of the de-skinned tuna filet, pre-cooking, cooling, packing of the cleaned and pre-cooked tuna loin, and sterilizing the packed tuna loin or freezing the tuna loin. Not only does the process according to this invention reduces the energy utilization by half, it also significantly reduces the time required for cooking and cooling. Therefore, the whole processing time is significantly reduced from at least 8.0 hours in the conventional process to less than 30 minutes.

Abstract: A calcium enriched shelf stable according to this invention, which can be a chilled or frozen tuna or salmon products or other similar shelf stable, can provide a considerable bone health benefit to consumers by providing as much as 400 mg/100 g of available calcium in the finished product.

Abstract: A process for preparing fish bone powder according to this invention generally comprising at least 4 steps: pre-heating, removing of impurity, drying and milling to derive a calcium-rich bone powder product that contains calcium in the range of 18-22 g/100 g of the final product. In addition, the bone powder particle size obtained is less than 100 microns and contains high levels of protein, fat, and essential minerals, such as sodium and phosphorus. The source of bone can be obtained from any fishes, preferably from tuna.

Abstract: A method of preparing a meat product is disclosed. The method can comprise providing meat having a first texture, the first texture comprising a plurality of loosely-bound or unbound pieces of the meat. The meat with the first texture can be placed in a chamber. The temperature and the pressure in the chamber can be simultaneously increased to change the first texture to a second texture comprising a single unified body of meat, the second texture of the meat being sliceable.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to sago fluidity starch and the use thereof. Such fluidity starches exhibit exceptionally fast gelling properties, high gel strengths, and exceptional elasticity. These properties allow for significantly reduced processing times, including reduced hold times. Further, the higher gel strength allows for reduced starch levels without loss of final product gel strength integrity or texture.
