Abrégé

A stabilized bran component and a stabilized whole grain flour containing the component are produced by subjecting a bran-enriched coarse fraction which contains bran, germ and starch to grinding or milling to reduce grittiness of the coarse fraction without substantially damaging the starch due to abrasion. The coarse fraction may be stabilized by heating to substantially reduce the lipase and lipoxygenase activity of the coarse fraction without substantial gelatinization of the starch. High levels of natural antioxidants and vitamins are retained while avoiding substantial acrylamide formation during the stabilization. The stabilized coarse fraction or stabilized bran component may be combined with a fine fraction which contains predominantly endosperm to obtain a stabilized whole grain flour. The stabilized whole grain flours and the stabilized bran component exhibit extended shelf life and may be used for making baked goods, such as cookies, with desirable oven spread, and a non-gritty mouthfeel.

The present invention relates to continuous processing of poultry. More particularly, poultry is processed for times and under conditions effective for maintaining the poultry muscle in a pre-rigor condition. Hot boned poultry is ground or macerated to provide a ground or macerated poultry meat. The ground or macerated poultry meat is blended with salt and optionally nitrite or/and phosphate to provide a blended ground or macerated poultry meat. Blending is effective for providing a blended ground or macerated poultry meat with about 1.0 to about 3.5 weight percent salt, 0 to 200 ppm nitrite, and about 0 to about 0.5 weight percent phosphate, based on the total weight of the blended ground or macerated poultry meat. The blending is effective for providing a blended ground or macerated poultry meat having a temperature of about 26 °F to about 60 °F and a pH of 5.9 or greater.

A stabilized bran component and a stabilized whole grain flour containing the component are produced by subjecting a bran-enriched coarse fraction which contains bran, germ and starch to grinding or milling to reduce grittiness of the coarse fraction without substantially damaging the starch due to abrasion. The coarse fraction may be stabilized by heating to substantially reduce the lipase and lipoxygenase activity of the coarse fraction without substantial gelatinization of the starch. High levels of natural antioxidants and vitamins are retained while avoiding substantial acrylamide formation during the stabilization. The stabilized coarse fraction or stabilized bran component may be combined with a fine fraction which contains predominantly endosperm to obtain a stabilized whole grain flour. The stabilized whole grain flours and the stabilized bran component exhibit extended shelf life and may be used for making baked goods, such as cookies, with desirable oven spread, and a non-gritty mouthfeel.
