Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil, wherein the composition comprises a source of organic acids, one or more organic acids other than acetic acid, amino acids, and one or more phenolic compounds. More in particular the source of organic acids comprises organic acids other than acetic acid to total organic acids in the source of organic acids at a weight ratio ranging from 0.5% to 60%; and the weight ratio of one or more amino acids to total organic acids in the source of organic acid ranges from 0.03% to 20%.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a suspension of mustard bran particles comprising the following steps: a) providing an aqueous dispersion of mustard bran particles originating from the seeds of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and/or the seeds of brown Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), said mustard bran particles having a volume weighted mean diameter of more than 300 µm; b) producing a milled suspension of mustard bran particles by passing the dispersion one or more times through a high shear device selected from a high pressure homogenizer and an ultra-fine friction grinder, said high pressure homogenizer being operated at a pressure drop of at least 100 bar. Treatment of these types of mustard bran in a high shear device increases overall bioaccessability of the proteins contained in the bran. This is desirable in view of the high nutritional value of these proteins. The invention also provides a food product comprising an aqueous phase, said aqueous phase comprising 0.5 to 15 wt. % of mustard bran particles originating from the seeds of black mustard and/or the seeds of brown Indian mustard, said mustard bran particles having a volume weighted mean diameter of less than 600 µm.

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for preparation of an oil-in-water emulsion, such as a mayonnaise, having a reduced oil content. Such reduced oil emulsion nevertheless should have the same properties as the higher oil variants. This objective has been met by a method wherein a dispersion of cellulosic fibres is heated, before being mixed with other ingredients of the emulsion. Either the dispersion of cellulosic fibres is homogenised in a high pressure homogeniser at relatively high pressure, or the final emulsion containing the dispersion of cellulosic fibres is homogenised in a high pressure homogeniser at relatively high pressure.

Abstract

A process for coating inside a container includes rotating the container about its imaginary vertical axis while simultaneously lowering airless spray nozzles along the vertical axis of the`container into the cavity through the opening end and moving the nozzles back up and out of the container. Spray nozzles are used to apply a liquid coating at a spray pressure of about 100 to about 800 psi (6.89 to 55.16 bar)and at an angle of about 0 to about 120 degrees relative to the vertical axis, simultaneously with nozzle movement, to at least a portion of the inner surface while the container is rotating and the nozzles are moving along the vertical axis. The container is thereby coated on its inner surface to form an internally coated container.

Abstract

Foods or meals high in available carbohydrate such as sucrose or starch increase postprandial blood glucose concentrations. Repeated high post-prandial plasma glucose "spikes" are associated with an increased risk of developing type II diabetes. Unregulated glycemic excursions are undesirable, and any reduction or "blunting" of the post-prandial glucose concentration in blood is potentially beneficial. This invention relates to an edible composition for delay of intestinal glucose uptake through synergistic inhibition of both active sodium glucose co -transporter 1 (SGLT1) and passive glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) leading to flattening or blunting of the post-prandial glucose peak. Thus in a first aspect of the invention, an edible composition is provided, the composition comprising at least 5% dry weight at least one flavonoid aglycone and at least 5% dry weight at least one flavonoid glucoside, wherein the flavonoid glucoside is at least 20 %, preferably at least 40 %, most preferably at least 60 % more resistant to hydrolysis by lactase phloridzin hydrolase than quercetin-4-glucoside, and wherein the flavonoid aglycone is a GLUT 2 inhibitor and the flavonoid glucoside is a SGLT 1 inhibitor.
