Reducing the digestion of digestible carbohydrates in a digestible carbohydrate-based material, and reducing the absorption of the digestion product(s) of digestible carbohydrates (that is, simple sugars) within the small intestine. The undigested digestible carbohydrate and the unabsorbed digestion products pass through the small intestines and into the colon, where they are fermented. In effect, the food materials made by practicing the present invention cause a controlled amount of digestible carbohydrate to by-pass the small intestine, resulting in the fermentation of digestible carbohydrates in the colon. The invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to form a reduced digestible carbohydrate food having a protective food film network, which can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate. The present invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to provide a resulting reduced digestible carbohydrate food containing a viscosity-building component that contributes to the formation of a viscous intestinal chyme that can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate and can inhibit adsorption of digestion products of digestible carbohydrates in the small intestine.

The present invention is a system for replacing gluten in food products. Preferably, the gluten replacement system of the present invention utilizes gluten-free ingredients that mimic the functions of gluten in a dough and in a final product made from the dough. The gluten replacement system can be used to formulate food products that are safe for consumption by those who have a gluten intolerance, allergy or sensitivity, or by those who follow a gluten-free diet. The present invention is also directed to a composition for making a gluten-free product. The composition preferably mimics the functions of gluten in a food product. This composition may include a gluten-free gas-retaining polymer and a gluten-free setting polymer, and it may also include a hydrocolloid or a starch, or both.

A high-protein, low-carbohydrate bakery product comprising a first proteinaceous ingredient and a second proteinaceous ingredient selected from the group consisting of wheat protein isolate, wheat protein concentrate, devitalized wheat gluten, fractionated wheat protein, deamidated wheat gluten, hydolyzed wheat protein, and combinations thereof are provided. Preferred bakery products further comprise an amount of resistant starch which replaces a portion of digestible carbohydrate therein.

A rice flour composition having: from about 20% to about 95%, by weight, of a rice flour that has a WAI of from about 2.6 to about 9; and a Peak Viscosity from about 4 RVU to about 130 RVU; and from about 5% to about 80%, by weight, of rice starch materials that have a WAI of below about 2.2; a Peak Viscosity from about 100 RVU to about 900 RVU, and a soluble amylose content of less than 10%, by weight. The rice starch materials can be selected from the group consisting of waxy rice starch, acetylated rice starch, cross linked rice starch and mixtures thereof. The compositions can be used to produce food products such as fabricated sheeted snacks, extruded products, sauces, coatings for fried foods, dog foods, dog biscuits, baby foods and breads. The preferred dough formed from the inventive rice flour composition is sheetable and forms a cohesive dough. Fabricated snacks made from this dough has the desired taste and texture characteristics. A dry blend for a preferred fabricated snack comprises from about 2% to about 100%, preferably from about 20% to about 85%, most preferably from about 40% to about 75%, of the rice flour composition.

The present invention discloses formulations for sheeted, baked fruit and vegetable crackers that have a light, crispy texture similar to a potato chip or cracker. Undehydrated ingredients are combined with dry ingredients and oil to make a dough, which is then sheeted and cut into pieces. The pieces are baked to produce vegetable and fruit snack crackers.

The invention is a high fat biscuit mix as well as dough and biscuit products resulting therefrom. The mix comprises flour, a leavening agent, and emulsifier along with a protein supplement and shortening. The shortening has a high initial solids content at low temperatures (50 DEG F.) and a melting point of 104 DEG F. or less resulting in a biscuit product having an improved moistness, flakiness and uniform height. The protein supplement and emulsifier generally provide a product having an improved outer crust layer, improved height and shape, and an interior which is tender without being doughy. The mix and resulting dough comprise a high concentration of fat and further a high concentration of fat contributed by shortening chips within the dough.

A novel dough composition for improved dough can be used to produce a baked, high protein, low carbohydrate bread product. The formulation and process can be used to make low carbohydrate dough that can be used to manufacture bread and other bread-like products of high quality and consumer acceptance. The bread is characterized by low nutritive carbohydrate content, bread-like open cell structure and a high quality nutrition, texture and flavor. The dough comprises an aqueous leavened dispersion that comprises an effective but low amount of wheat flour for texture and flavor, an effective amount of gluten, in excess of the flour content, and an effective amount of a protein source along with an effective amount of an edible fiber to provide high protein content, low carbohydrate content and bread-like texture.

Disclosed herein are non-egg compositions that can be used as egg substitutes. The disclosure is directed to egg substitutes and methods of manufacturing the same, and compositions comprising the egg substitutes, including edible compositions such as baked goods and edible emulsions.

The invention provides a gluten-free flour formulation containing a plurality of ingredients. Each ingredient in the formulation is substantially or completely free of gluten protein. In one embodiment, the formulation meets the requirements for kosher certification. The gluten-free flour formulation includes at least two ingredients of the following: ground or partially ground particles of dried roots of a root-tuber crop, dried kernels or nuts of a nut-tree and dried fruits of a species in the Musaceae family. In some embodiments, the gluten-free flour formulation includes ground or partially ground particles of dried cassava root, almond nuts and dried plantain fruits, wherein the proportions of the ground cassava root, almond nuts and dried plantain fruits range from about 15% to about 85%, from about 20% to about 60%, and from about 5% to about 30%, respectively.

The invention relates to low- glycemic-index biscuits and a making method thereof. The making method comprises the following steps: taking raw materials in parts by weight, mixing table salt with konjaku flour and inulin, and adding water for stirring so as to obtain a mixture A; heating anhydrous butter until the anhydrous butter is melted, performing rapid stirring to get foam, adding eggs, and continuing to quickly get foam so as to obtain a mixture B; adding water to ammonium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate for stirring and dissolving so as to obtain a mixture C; uniformly mixing flour with maltitol, xylitol, defatted soy flour, tartarian buckwheat powder, wheat dietary fibers, green bean powder, scindapsus aureus, resistant dextrin, buckwheat, nonfat dry milk powder and celery powder, enabling the prepared mixture A, the mixture B and the mixture C to be concocted into dough by a dough mixer, and performing refrigeration standing; pressing the dough into sheets with a noodle press, so as to obtain shaped biscuit blanks; and putting the biscuit blanks in an oven, performing baking under 180 DEG C for 10min, then performing cooling, and performing packaging so as to obtain the low- glycemic-index biscuits.
