  • FAT REPLACERS AND FILLING MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20170027209
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to fat replacers and their use in various food products. Aspects of the disclosure are particularly directed to oligodextran-based fat replacers that are lower in calories, heat stable, and increase fiber. They can either be used alone or in combination with other additives to decrease the fat content while maintaining good organoleptic properties.

  • Process for preparing isomalto-oligosaccharides with elongated chain and low glycemic index
    Patent number: 7670811
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing isomalto-oligosaccharides with elongated chain length. Isomalto-oligosaccharides are directly converted to isomalto-oligosaccharides with elongated chain length in the presence of glucansucrase. Said products can be applied in food, feed, beverages, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products and are particularly useful as slow or non-digestible oligosaccharides, low calorie providers, prebiotics, mineral absorption promoting agents, non-cariogenic agents and/or low glycemic index regulating syrups.

  • Method for the production of isomalto-oligosaccharide rich syrups
    Patent number: 6025168
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method for the production of isomalto-oligosaccharides syrups. The method comprises the use of enzymes immobilized on a re-usable carrier. The carrier is preferably an anion exchanger. The enzymes used for the conversion of starch hydrolysates are transglucosidase and pullulanase preferably these enzymes are co-immobilized. The carrier/enzyme conjugate is further reinforced by cross-linking.
