Embodiment approach

[0216] It is contemplated in some embodiments that the steps of blending, mixing, separating, dehydrating and comminuting and other process steps described above may optionally be repeated multiple times to obtain the desired Properties of oilseed-based formulas. For example, in at least one embodiment, the oilseed can be soaked, mixed with water, agitated (e.g., in a high-speed blender), and separated into liquid and solid fractions using a centrifuge (or alternatively a nut press) , dehydrated using spray-drying techniques, and can then be further pulverized to produce a fine powder.

[0217] In another embodiment, the liquid fraction is combined with other matrix ingredients to provide a liquid composition that incorporates all the nutrients of the finished formula. The final composition is spray dried under a high temperature air stream. This is used to achieve better uniformity and physical functions such as solubility, stability and dissolution.

Embodiment 1

[0325] The formula can be used to prepare a nutrient-dense hemp-based baked product for consumption by toddlers, children or adults. Provided below are examples of methods for preparing such products.

[0326] The ingredients are mixed in a high speed mixer and the liquid is separated by means of an industrial press, centrifuge or sieve. The resulting cake is dehydrated and blended into a fine powder. The powder can then be used as an all-purpose flour for the preparation of a variety of bakery products such as biscuits, bars, cereals and cakes.

[0327] Ingredients used in the above examples may include, but are not limited to, shelled hemp seeds, spring water, coarsely blended whole food multivitamins / green leafy vegetable supplements, Aquaflour algae (AFA), guar gum, whole coconut oil, coconut milk sugar and assorted flavors.

Embodiment 2

[0329] Soak whole hemp seeds and almonds in distilled water for eight hours. The hemp seeds are then washed and added to a high speed blender with various other ingredients and blended into a slurry. The slurry is decanted through a series of fine mesh filters to separate liquid and solids. The liquid is then packaged and served. The solids are dehydrated and added to other dehydrated ingredients to prepare a variety of food products including, but not limited to, biscuits and bars.

[0330] Ingredients used in the above examples may include, but are not limited to, 50% whole hemp seeds, 50% almonds, spring water, liquid multivitamin, silk algae aquabloom, banana and agave nectar.

Abstract

The present invention pertains to the field of nutrition and in particular a food product formulation based on protein and other nutrients extracted from oil seeds, such as hemp, for a plurality of uses, including, but not limited to an infant or toddler formula, a beverage, baked goods or a protein supplement. Suitable oil seeds include, but are not limited to hemp, flax, chia, pea and spirulina. Accordingly, the present invention provides a food product formulation for human consumption that can provide a complete source of dietary protein and other nutrients through oil seed protein. The formulation may be prepared in a variety of product forms, including but not limited to, a ready-to-serve liquid form, or a powder form that can be reconstituted prior to human consumption into liquid form, or a powder form that can be added to oilier ingredients to produce a baked product for human consumption, or a protein supplement.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention is in the field of nutrition and in particular to formulas based on protein and other nutrients extracted from oilseeds such as hemp for a variety of uses including, but not limited to, infant or toddler formulas, beverages, Baked goods or protein or other nutritional supplements. Background of the invention [0002] Proteins and lipids have long been recognized as the fundamental building blocks of healthy human development of all age groups and sexes. Dietary protein provides many essential functions in the human body, a major one being the supply of essential amino acids ("EAA's") required for the growth and maintenance of human tissues. It also functions in the body as an enzyme and antibody and has been described as the structural backbone of tissues, hormones and blood (Hemp Basics 16 / 12 / 2011). Lipids or essential fatty acids are critical for the proper development, function and healing of all tissues and organs and mai...
