US Patent:
7608436, Oct 27, 2009
Filed:

Appl. No.:
11/339306
Inventors:
Michael D. Harrison - Decatur IL, US

Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas, Inc. - Decatur IL
International Classification:
C12P 19/02
A23L 1/09
A23L 1/236
C08B 37/00
A61K 31/715
US Classification:
435105, 424439, 426548, 426658, 426659, 426660, 435 94, 435 95, 435 96, 435 97, 435 98, 435 99, 514 54, 514 61, 536123, 5361231
Abstract:
A process for preparing saccharide oligomers uses an aqueous feed composition that comprises at least one monosaccharide or linear saccharide oligomer, and has a solids concentration of at least about 70% by weight. The feed composition is heated to a temperature of at least about 40 C. , and is contacted with at least one catalyst that accelerates the rate of cleavage or formation of glucosyl bonds, such as enzyme or acid, for a time sufficient to cause formation of non-linear saccharide oligomers. A product composition is produced that contains a higher concentration of non-linear saccharide oligomers than linear saccharide oligomers.

International Classification:
A23G 3/00
US Classification:
426658, 426548, 426659, 426660, 435105
Abstract:
A food product comprises an oligosaccharide composition that is digestion resistant or slowly digestible. The oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process that comprises producing an aqueous composition that comprises at least one oligosaccharide and at least one monosaccharide by saccharification of starch, membrane filtering the aqueous composition to form a monosaccharide-rich stream and an oligosaccharide-rich stream, and recovering the oligosaccharide-rich stream. Alternatively, the oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process that comprises heating an aqueous feed composition that comprises at least one monosaccharide or linear saccharide oligomer, and that has a solids concentration of at least about 70% by weight, to a temperature of at least about 40 C. , and contacting the feed composition with at least one catalyst that accelerates the rate of cleavage or formation of glucosyl bonds for a time sufficient to cause formation of non-linear saccharide oligomers, wherein a product composition is produced that contains a higher concentration of non-linear saccharide oligomers than linear saccharide oligomers.

Thin-Thick Waxy Malze Based Starch Derivative For Acid And Neutral Retort Media

View page
US Patent:
39519473, Apr 20, 1976
Filed:
Sep 17, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/506820
Inventors:
Robert V. Schanefelt - Decatur IL
James E. Eastman - Decatur IL
Michael F. Campbell - Decatur IL
Assignee:
A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company - Decatur IL
International Classification:
C08B 3100
US Classification:
2602333R
Abstract:
A thin-thick, hydroxypropylated, crosslinked root-type starch derivative for continuous process pressure cooking, which remains stable over a wide pH range (3-7), and maybe used in both neutral and acid food systems. Suitable base starches include waxy maize, waxy milo, waxy sorghum, and any amylopectin-rich starch which is low in amylose contents. These hydroxypropylated starch derivatives are non-jelling, heat stable, freeze-thaw, and are crossed linked to a level at which their aqueous suspensions are initially low in viscosity and then developed full viscosity upon heating in sealed containers, thereby permitting initial rapid heat penetration necessary for the heat sterilizations of canned foods processed in high temperature-short time sterilization (HTST) food canning processes, in which the complete retorting cycle is less than 20 minutes. Use of these starch derivatives greatly facilitates the preparation of heat processed foods, contributing to excellent color, smooth texture, good clarity, flavor and food value. Even delicate, heat sensitive flavors are preserved.

The fragmented granular starch hydrolysate is capable of forming an aqueous dispersion at 20% starch hydrolysate solids having a yield stress of from about 100 to about 1,500 pascals. The article is in the form of a patty or a molded sausage product, either being prepared from coarse ground meat and/or a meat emulsion.

Granular Modified Starch Binder For Dough Forming Of Puffable Food Products

View page
US Patent:
39669904, Jun 29, 1976
Filed:
Feb 11, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/441185
Inventors:
Charles W. Cremer - Decatur IL
James E. Eastman - Decatur IL
Robert V. Schanefelt - Decatur IL
Assignee:
A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company - Decatur IL
International Classification:
A23L 118
US Classification:
426550
Abstract:
A dough binder for puffable food products comprising an alcohol washed, granular hydroxypropyl waxy-maize based starch derivative obtained by the dry reaction of acid hydrolyzed waxy maize starch which has also been treated with anhydrous disodium phosphate and propylene oxide to a hydroxypropyl degree of substitution of 0. 3 to 0. 5. The granular, crude starch derivative is cold water swelling, and is alcohol washed and dried to 3-5 percent moisture. Doughs made using the subject granular, ungelatinized starch derivative as a dough binder are more formable and workable, having the consistency of modeling clay. It is non-sticking, but readily cold-formable when used at about 30-70 percent of our starch derivative. 0-10 percent shortening, 0-30 percent other food materials, and 10-40 percent water. The dough mixture is then cold formed into the desired shapes and sizes, and may be baked or cooked at elevated temperatures (300. degree. -475. degree. F.

Edible Starch Batters

US Patent:
39565157, May 11, 1976
Filed:
Apr 5, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/458377
Inventors:
Carl O. Moore - Rochester IL
Hsiung Cheng - Decatur IL
Robert V. Schanefelt - Decatur IL
Assignee:
A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company - Decatur IL
International Classification:
B65B 5500
US Classification:
426302
Abstract:
Starch batters which can be applied to food pieces (e. g. , chicken), breaded, frozen and subsequently fried into a high-quality, fried, breaded product are obtained by employing a novel batter starch system. The batter starches are comprised of ungelatinized, cold-water swelling starches and starch granules having a gelation point above 125. degree. F. The starch batters are formulated in aqueous mediums (e. g. , below 120. degree. F. ) to provide a batter system containing unswollen starch granules uniformly dispersed within an adhesive matrix of highly swollen, non-birefringent, hydrated starch granules.

Processed Vegetable Seed Fiber For Food Products

View page
US Patent:
41817478, Jan 1, 1980
Filed:
Dec 4, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/966246
Inventors:
Hunter L. Kickle - Mt. Zion IL
William J. Ball - Decatur IL
Robert Von Schanefelt - Decatur IL
Assignee:
A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company - Decatur IL
International Classification:
A23L 127
US Classification:
426615
Abstract:
A processed vegetable seed fiber, particularly corn and soybean fiber, for use in food products is disclosed. Processing is accomplished by heating an aqueous slurry of the crude vegetable seed fiber to about 155. degree. -180. degree. F. , and then maintaining the pH of the heated slurry in the range of about 2. 5 to 5. The elevated temperature of the slurry is maintained for up to about 15 to 60 minutes while the slurry is agitated. The resulting acid-pasteurized slurry is then dewatered to obtain a fiber material at about 20-30% dry solids. Fresh water is then added to the dewatered fiber material to reslurry it to about 3-4% dry solids. The reslurried fiber material is agitated at a temperature up to about 140. degree. F. for about fifteen to thirty minutes, dewatered a second time, and then dried to about 10% moisture.
