Problems solved by technology

High protein and high amino acid bars have been commercially successful among persons who are highly committed to intense training regimens, but their general appeal is somewhat limited by the texture and taste of a one-layered bar.
One problem with this type of bar is that it is difficult to manufacture.
Because the protein level is high, it is common for such bars to have a short shelf life due to molding problems.
For example, the moisture within the bar may not be properly absorbed, resulting in condensation outside of the bar which leads to mold formation.
Also, because the amount of protein is high, it is difficult to have such a bar bind together.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Two Layered High Protein Foodstuff

[0073] To prepare a chocolate and peanut butter multi-layered high protein foodstuff, the chocolate flavored layer is prepared by mixing specified amounts of glycerine, water, maltitol, and potassium sorbate to consistency. The protein blend (bovine beef gelatin, calcium caseinate protein, whey protein isolate, and soy protein isolate) is then added to the mixture and mixed to consistency. The flavoring agent (cocoa), sucralose (or other sweetener), and vitamin blend are added to the mixture and mixed to consistency. The mixture is then allowed to sit to set up for trimming.

[0074] The peanut butter flavored layer is prepared by mixing specified amounts of glycerine, H2O, maltitol, and potassium sorbate to consistency. The protein blend (hydrolyzed protein beef bovine bone gelatin, calcium caseinate protein, whey protein isolate, and soy protein isolate) is then added to the mixture and mixed to consistency. The flavorin...

Abstract

The present invention is a high-protein foodstuff that comprises at least two layers wherein at least one of the layers comprises at least 25% of protein and wherein the high-protein foodstuff may further comprise of a high protein coating. The present invention is also directed to methods for making the high protein foodstuff, optionally with a high protein coating.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a high protein foodstuff that is multi-layered and methods for preparing the same. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In recent years there has been an interest in the use of dietary supplements for improved nutrition. Among the popular supplements are so-called “athletic bars” and “sports bars”, which provide in some cases “quick energy” and, in other cases, the promise of increased muscle mass, improved overall strength, increased muscle definition, fat reduction, improved stamina and reduced recovery time from muscle fatigue. The quick energy bars tend to rely primarily on carbohydrates; the muscle building bars tend to emphasize protein and amino acid content. Both types usually contain vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients as well. High protein and high amino acid bars have been commercially successful among persons who are highly committed to intense training regimens, but their general appeal is somewhat limited by t...
