Abstract: Dry milling methods for preparing oat products enriched in the content of ?-glucan and methods for preparing foodstuffs incorporating such an enriched oat product especially ready-to-eat cereals are provided. Heat conditioned dehulled oats are dry milled to form a coarse whole non defatted oat flour and then, without a preceding removal of fat, dry fractionated into coarser bran and finer oat flour fractions at multiple stages. The coarse oat flour is first dry classified to separate or form a coarser fraction oat bran containing more concentrated ?-glucan and a finer oat flour or starch containing or endosperm containing fraction. The oat bran is subjected to second and third rounds of milling and classification to form a high ?-glucan content (>7-9%) oat bran and a low ?-glucan content (3%) oat flour. The oat bran and oat flours can be used to prepare foodstuffs such as ready-to-eat cereals.

Abstract: The subject of this invention is the production process of whole olive powder with easily pourable properties and natural olive powder that is produced with this processes. Olive and olive oil are used by human beings with different receipts and forms of utilization for more than thousands years. But powdered form of olive production from whole olives was not encountered. When whole olives are ground to obtain a powder, the intracellular oil is released and turn ground olives into a paste. It is impossible to obtain a dry powdered olive product from whole and not deoiled olives that does not release oil during its shelf life, without aggregating and protecting its powdered form just by grinding. The powder obtained from whole olives is more rich from olive oil in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phenolic substance and it is superior in olive oil than various powders obtained from olive oil wastes as it also contains purest olive oil that has not passed any extraction processes.
