Publication number: 20120258198Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing fractions of a milk composition by treating a milk composition with a phospholipase and separating it into at least two fractions with different fat content. The fractions obtained have improved properties for producing food products. The invention further relates to a method for producing food products from one or more of the fractions obtained. In further aspects the invention relates to methods for producing condensed milk, milk powder, butter and dairy spread from a milk composition treated with a phospholipase.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: NOVOZYMES A/SInventors: Per Munk Nielsen, Hanna Lilbaek

Publication number: 20120237662Abstract: A method for creating a reduced fat confectionery product is disclosed. The method includes providing a mixture of a chocolate compatible fat and a sweetener, thereafter refining the mixture to form a powder having a predetermined average particle size, thereafter agitating the refined powder mixture at a temperature above the melting temperature of the chocolate compatible fat to form a dough and thereafter solidifying the dough to form a confectionery product having a total formulated fat content of less than 29% by weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: THE HERSHEY COMPANYInventors: Xiaoying WANG, Gregory T. ZERPHY, Julie HICKEY

Publication number: 20120237608Abstract: The invention provides a free-flowing particulate honey product comprising crystallized natural bee honey and a process for producing thereof. The free flowing particulate honey product comprises crystals of natural honey in admixture with glucose and is characterised by X-ray powder diffraction pattern having peaks in degrees 2? that are identified as characteristic peaks of crystalline glucose monohydrate, and diastase index not less than 90% of the diastase index of a crude honey used to prepare the product, calculated based upon the weight of the crude honey. The product retains all the healthy and biologically active properties of natural honey and can be used as a sugar substitute, or as a component of food mixtures, such as dry cereals, muesli, tea, coffee, drink mixtures, and also for preparing beverages, bakery, confectionary, as well as cosmetic and hygienic formulations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2010Publication date: September 20, 2012Inventor: Vladimir Borisovich POLTORATSKY

Patent number: 8268378Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of a powdered product from a product in the liquid state in the form of a solution-, suspension- or emulsion-type mixture in an aqueous medium. According to the invention, during the first step (E1) of the method, the product in the liquid state is transformed into a product in the viscous state. The invention is characterised in that it includes at least one overrun step (E2, E4) and at least one product-drying step (E3, E6) comprising at least a first step (E3) involving thermomechanical treatment with at last one thermomechanical treatment machine into which the viscous state product and a determined amount of powered product from the same family as the liquid state product are injected simultaneously. The treatment machine is configured to mix the viscous state product and the powdered product such as to produce solidified particles of the product upon contact with the ambient air.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: ClextralInventors: Daniel Durand, Jean-Marie Bouvier, Gilles Maller, Maxwell Scott, Stewart Robert Stevenson, Steven James Roberts
