This relates to foodstuffs containing maltitol. More particularly, this invention relates to improved fat-containing foodstuffs, wherein the improvement includes the partial or total replacement of the fat by a taste effective amount of maltitol.

An object of the present invention is to improve a distinctive strange taste (particularly bitterness remaining in the mouth) of a conventional low-calorie food or drink, particularly an edible product (a food or drink) having low calories obtained by replacing part or most of the sugar or isomerized sugar to be added by a high-intensity sweetener. Provided are a composition for improving a taste of a high-intensity sweetener, a method of improving a taste of an edible product containing a high-intensity sweetener, and an edible product in which a taste of a high-intensity sweetener is improved, each of which is characterized by containing or using an isomerized sugar and a rare sugar such that the rare sugar is contained or used in an amount of from 1 to 150 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the isomerized sugar.

A method of improving longevity and/or alleviating a symptom of aging or preventing age related diseases is provided. The method includes a step in which the subject's average and type of daily protein intake, IGF-I, and IGFBP1 levels, and risk factors for overall mortality, cancer and diabetes are determined. With respect to protein consumption, the relative amounts of protein calories from animal and plant sources are determined. A periodic normal calorie or low calorie but low protein fasting mimicking diet with frequencies of every 2 weeks to 2 months is provided to the subject if the subject's average daily protein intake level and type and/or IGF-I levels, and/or IGFBP1 levels is identified as being greater or lower than a predetermined cutoff intake/level and if the subject is younger than a predetermined age. The method is also shown to alleviate symptoms of chemotoxicity.

A satiety promoting beverage and a weight control regimen using it are described comprising: fiber, protein, sweetener and preferably calcium and a catechin, such as purified epigallocatechin gallate derived from green tea. The ingredients are employed in amounts sufficient that a single serving provides a feeling of satiety, both initially and after a period of at least one hour. In a preferred form, a serving of the beverage will comprise fiber in an amount sufficient to supply from 10 to 30% of the DV for fiber; milk protein in an amount sufficient to supply from 4 to 10 grams protein; calcium in an amount sufficient to supply from 10 to 40% of the DV for calcium; a low calorie sweetener and, preferably, the catechin in an amount sufficient to supply from 2 to 4 cup equivalents. The ingredients are homogenized and packaged to provide a smooth textured beverage with a creamy mouthfeel and from about 50 to about 150 calories per serving of from about 4 to 12 ounces. A Fullness Index of greater than 4, and preferably 5 is evidence of both very high volume to calorie and (fiber plus protein) to calorie ratios.

Provided is a method of producing mushroom mycelia-based meat analog, a meat analog produced using the method, a low-calorie synthetic meat and a meat flavor comprising the meat analog. The meat analog can be produced from mushroom mycelia within a short period of time in a cost and effort effective manner. A meat analog having improved meat-like texture and flavor compared to a conventional soy protein can be produced, and thus a low-calorie synthetic meat and a meat flavor can be produced using the meat analog.

An extruded, directly expanded, high fiber reduced calorie food product, such as a ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal or sweet or savory snack, is produced at high production rates without substantial loss of extrusion functionality and extrudability by replacing a substantial portion of at least one flour with a gelatinized, enzyme-resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent as a reduced-calorie, high fiber flour replacer. The resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent contains an enzyme-resistant starch type III having a melting point with an endothermic peak temperature of at least about 140° C., and may have a water-holding capacity of less than 3 grams water per gram of the starch-based bulking agent. The total dietary fiber retention of the gelatinized, starch-based bulking agent may be at least about 90% by weight after the extrusion using a die temperature of least about 100° C., and a die pressure of at least about 150 psig.

A method is disclosed for making reduced calorie cultured cheeses whereby the natural lipid content of milk is replaced with colloidal forms of synthetic or chemically structured lipids displaying low to no human digestibility. The colloidal dispersion of modified lipids contained within the milk base is initially stabilized by preferred combinations of polymeric and particulate hydrocolloidal materials such as structurally expanded cellulose. Such stabilization is important during formation of the curd to ensure homogeneous distribution and maintenance of the lipid dispersion throughout the coagulum yet allow effective concentration of the coagulum solids by means of ordinary water removal methods commonly used in the manufacture of conventional cultured cheeses. The coagulum is then processed by means similar to that employed for naturally fermented cheeses. The resulting cultured cheese is a reduced calorie product with low to no metabolizable fat content yet possesses organoleptic properties similar to a full fat product.

A combination of HFCS-90 and at least one low-calorie natural sweetener is used to reduce the caloric content of a full-calorie beverage while preserving the taste.
