The stabilizer is able to stabilize both fat/oil and water and to improve the texture of mechanically separated meats. The stabilizer is a composite of gelatin, an acid, a sugar component and/or a starch component. The gelatin component is made by treating the gelatin in an aqueous slurry with an acid such that a pH of 1.0 to 4.5 is maintained throughout the treatment process. The stabilizer is especially suited for use in cased meats such as sausage, frankfurters, and bologna. |

A savory, smooth-textured, bakeable and shelf-stable product is prepared as a three-phase formulation, including an aqueous liquid phase, a dispersed fat phase and a solids phase, preferably containing cheese in significant proportion. The liquid phase is present in sufficient quantity to suspend and disperse the fat and solids phases. The dispersed fat must have sufficiently small droplet size raise the viscosity for this phase sufficiently to result in a creamy texture for the final product. The savory flavor ingredients are present as undissolved solids of sufficiently small particle size to provide the proper flavor release for the flavor and a texture consistent with the savory flavor. Preferred cheese products will have a lubricous, slippery, smooth mouthfeel and a flavor release that endures until the palate is essentially clean. The product can be applied to unbaked doughs prior to baking and retain their desired properties after baking. The product can also be packaged for use as is with any number of complimentary foods. |

The present invention provides a method of preparing a solid milk product having a moisture level of less than about 40 percent and a fat/protein ratio of less than about 2.5, and preferably a moisture level of about 10 to about 30 percent and a fat/protein ratio of less than about 2. More preferably, the solid milk product has a fat/protein ratio of about 0.5 to about 1.5 and, even more preferably, about 1 to about 1.2. The present solid milk product is a high solids, low moisture, high-protein, shelf-stable milk product which is solid at ambient temperatures. Solid milk products containing solid ingredients (e.g., cereals, grains, cookies, trail mix, dried fruits, nuts, and mixtures thereof) may also be prepared. |

The invention is directed to a cream cheese-like product where non-casein protein replaces casein protein and a method for making such product. More specifically, the invention is directed to a process which is effective for making a cream cheese-like product substantially free of casein, wherein the process comprises: mixing (1) proteins other than milk caseins, (2) fat such as butter fat or other food grade fat, and (3) water to form a mixture; subjecting the mixture to a first homogenization to form a protein matrix stabilized emulsion system; heating the protein matrix stabilized emulsion system to a temperature effective to denature the proteins to form a denatured protein matrix stabilized emulsion; adjusting the pH of the denatured protein matrix stabilized emulsion to about 4 to about 6; subjecting the pH-adjusted emulsion to a second homogenization to form the cream cheese-like product; and packaging the cream cheese-like product. Optional ingredients such as stabilizers (e.g., gums), other emulsifiers, salts, coloring, and flavorings can be added to the mixture or to the emulsion (i.e., prior to the first or the second homogenization step). |

The present invention provides a method for preparing cheese products, and process cheese bases for use in the production of process cheese. The method generally comprises mixing one or more concentrated powders derived from milk with sodium chloride, milk fat, water, and, optionally, an edible acid and/or a preservative for a period of time sufficient to produce a well-mixed, homogeneous product, and cooling the resulting mixture for a time and at a temperature which is sufficient to allow the mixture to form a solid matrix. The solid matrix can be consumed, or can be used as a substitute for natural cheese and ground by a cheese grinding system during the production of process cheese. The present invention also provides cheese products and process cheese bases prepared according to this method, and to process cheeses produced with the process cheese bases. |

A crude lactide in a solid state or in an at least partially molten state is brought into contact with ethanol to form a slurry mixture, and then a solid form this slurry mixture is separated to yield a purified lactide having a high purity. A crude lactide is recrystallized from a non-denatured or denatured ethanol to obtain a lactide for a food additive. A lactide is applied widely to food additives. A coagulating agent for an animal and/or vegetable protein containing an optically active lactide as a main component, a food foaming agent containing a lactide as a main component, a food preservative containing a lactide as a main component and a pH regulating agent containing a lactide as a main component are provided. |

The present invention relates to low-fat or fat-free substances which can be used as replacements for fat (i.e., fat substitutes or fat extenders), both per se as well as in the preparation of food products. Specifically, the present invention relates to gel systems which have been size reduced to mimic fat. The gel systems are based on gels which are produced from undenatured whole milk protein and carrageenan. These gels are broken and sized by shear to produce particles which are under two microns in size. Particles of this size are described as having a "fatty mouth feel" which means that the particles have a fat-like organoleptic character. The gel systems of the present invention may be used to replace some or all of the fats which are normally present in a variety of food products. The present invention also relates to processes for producing the fat substitutes and to food products containing the fat substitutes. |

Imitation cheese is made by admixing a hydrated casein curd produced by the action of a milk coagulating enzyme on a calcium salt of a milk casein with edible oil and an emulsifying agent with heating at an elevated temperature to form a homogeneous mixture. Preferably, the enzyme is rennet and heating is to above 140.degree. F. An acid is preferably added to the heated mixture with vigorously admixing under homogenizing conditions to produce a homogeneous melted and pasteurized product. |
