Abstract: An enzyme resistant starch type III which has a melting point or endothermic peak of at least about 140.degree. C. as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is produced in yields of at least about 25% by weight, based upon the weight of the original starch ingredient. A gelatinization stage, nucleation/propagation stage, and preferably a heat-treatment stage are used to produce reduced calorie starch-based compositions which contain the enzyme resistant starch type III. The enzyme resistant starch is produced using crystal nucleation and propagation temperatures which avoid substantial production of lower melting amylopectin crystals, lower melting amylose crystals, and lower melting amylose-lipid complexes. The nucleating temperature used is above the melting point of amylopectin crystals. The propagating temperature used is above the melting point of any amylose-lipid complexes but below the melting point of the enzyme resistant starch.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for making a modified soy flour feed which is useful as a protein source in the diets of animals, particularly in the diet of young animals. The method for producing the modified soy flour feed, referred to hereinafter as "MSF feed", comprises the following steps: combining soy flour, sugar and liquid to provide a mixture; gelatinizing the soy flour in the mixture; then reacting yeast with the mixture preferably at a temperature of from about 60.degree. F. to about 125.degree. F. for a time sufficient to reduce the allergenic properties of the soy flour; and terminating the chemical reactions. Preferably, the yeast is added to the gelatinized mixture at a weight which is from about 0.25 to about 15%, by weight, of the combined soy flour-sugar weight. Unlike conventional soy flour, the MSF feed produced by this process does not induce diarrhea, poor growth or weight loss associated with an allergic response.

Abstract: Leavened yeast dough products obtain a long durability in a frozen condition by omitting using in the preparation thereof fermentable carbohydrates, but the formation in situ of such fermentable carbohydrates satisfactory to leaven the dough is ensured by adding one or more amylases to the dough. Upon freezing the activity of the amylase ceases and the concentration of fermentable carbohydrates falls to such a low value that the proteinase forming activity of the yeast actually ceases. A possibly desired brown-coloring of the baked product may be ensured by the addition of amylases with an activity at a relatively high temperature.

Specialized methods and systems for producing and processing masa dough having a germinated fraction are required as a consequence of the unique consistency and higher fiber content of the masa dough mixture.
