Abstract
A cereal hydrolysate containing composition which is derived from the amylase hydrolysis of cereal in combination with a hydrocolloid, preferably carrageenan or a blend of xanthan gum and locust bean gum, can be effectively used as a fat mimic in preparing low fat comminuted meat products.
Claims30
A cereal hydrolysate containing composition for use as a fat mimic in foods comprising:
- A. a cereal hydrolysate composition prepared by hydrolyzing an aqueous dispersion of a cereal substrate with an amylase enzyme under conditions which will hydrolyse the starch without appreciable solubilization of the substrate protein to yield a water soluble fraction, and a water insoluble fraction, and selected from the group consisting of a) a water soluble fraction, b) a water insoluble fraction, c) a water soluble dietary fiber solids isolated from said soluble fraction, and d) a combination of a) and b), and
- B. a hydrocolloid gum effective and in an amount sufficient to provide a fat reduced product having the texture and mouth feel comparable to a full fat product.
A food composition containing a fat mimic comprising
- A. a cereal hydrolysate composition prepared by hydrolyzing an aqueous dispersion of a cereal substrate with an amylase enzyme under conditions which will hydrolyse the starch without appreciable solubilization of the substrate protein to yield a water soluble fraction, and a water insoluble fraction, and selected from the group consisting of a) a water soluble fraction, b) a water insoluble fraction, c) a water soluble dietary fiber solids isolated from said soluble fraction, and d) a combination of a) and b),
- B. a hydrocolloid gum effective and in an amount sufficient to provide the texture and mouth feel comparable to a full fat product, and
- C. one or more digestible food components.
A food composition comprising a dietary fiber product produced by the method of:
- a. treating an aqueous dispersion of a cereal substrate with an .alpha.-amylase under conditions which will hydrolyze the substrate starch without appreciable solubilization of the substrate protein and thereby yield a soluble fraction and an insoluble fraction;
- b. separating said soluble fraction from said insoluble fraction under conditions which minimize the level of protein in the soluble fraction;
- c. recovering from said soluble fraction said water-soluble dietary fiber substantially free of water insoluble fiber;
- and
- d. combining said water-soluble dietary fiber with a hydrocolloid and one or more digestible food components.
