Patent number: 8993029Abstract: The present invention obtains instant noodles which do not cause sticking and are easily loosened. Especially, the present invention provides an instant noodles producing method capable of preventing the sticking of the noodle strings even when the noodle strings are straight-type noodles.

Especially, after the powdered oil is applied to the dough sheet, the dough sheet is rolled out once or more. With this, the powdered oil is firmly fixed to the surfaces of the noodle strings. Thus, an extremely high sticking preventing effect can be obtained by an extremely small amount of the powdered oil.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuo Yamaya, Takuo Nakazeko, Rippei Shikota, Koshi Minamitani, Susumu Sakaguchi, Mitsuru Tanaka

Publication number: 20140295048Abstract: A process for the manufacture of reconstituted rice is disclosed which comprising the steps of a) providing or preparing a mixture containing comminuted rice matrix material; b) hydrating the mixture to obtain a paste and kneading the paste obtained until the rice starch is at least semi-gelatinized; c) forming the semi-gelatinized mass to strands and cutting them to obtain grains similar or equal to the size of rice grains; and d) drying the grains. The mixture provided or prepared in step a) contains fibers and/or fibers are added during step b) and/or between step b) and step c). The fibers have a water absorption capacity of at least 2, preferably at least 3, most preferably at least 4. Moreover, the invention relates to reconstituted rice produced by such a method, to a mixture comprising reconstituted rice and natural rice and to a use of reconstituted rice for enriching natural rice.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2012Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Roland Kunz, Daniel Stoffner

Patent number: 8802141Abstract: A delivery vehicle including a mixture of: a) an effective amount of an expander activatable by a wetting agent and, b) a treatment agent. The expander and treatment agent intermingled and compressed so as to form a substantially solid delivery vehicle. The solid delivery vehicle, on exposure to a volume of wetting agent forms a predetermined volume of a paste containing the treatment agent; and the volume of paste is adapted for delivery of the treatment agent.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Inventor: John Kohnke

Patent number: 8771777Abstract: A hard wheat pasta containing bran which has a total fiber content between 30 and 36% and a protein content between 15 and 19%. The pasta preferably has a bran content between 5 and 30% and is produced by a process including the steps of: subjecting hard wheat caryopses to sequential abrasion to substantially remove the bran coating and obtaining a bran fraction (D) which originates from the removal of the aleurone, nucellar and testa layers; adding the bran fraction (D) to a hard wheat semolina substantially free of bran to obtain a mixture containing 5 to 30% of the bran fraction (D); and producing the pasta from said mixture. The disclosure furthermore refers to a hard wheat semolina composition having a fiber content between 30 and 36% and a protein content between 15 and 19% and to a process for its production.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Barilla G. e R.
