Food Intermediate Having Enhanced Shape Retention And Organoleptic Properties And Methods Of Producing The Dough Intermediate

View page
US Patent:
20050003066, Jan 6, 2005
Filed:
Jul 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/611761
Inventors:
Madonna Ray - Vadnais Heights MN, US
Trudi Rodne - Eagan MN, US
Yang Kou - Minneapolis MN, US
Susan Heddleson - Plymouth MN, US
Annavarapu Murty - Spring Valley WI, US
Ryan Check - Maple Grove MN, US
International Classification:
A21D010/00
US Classification:
426549000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to dough intermediates that yield enhanced organoleptic attributes as well as aesthetic features upon subjecting the dough intermediate to a finishing step. The beneficial features of the present invention are obtained through the creation of a partially sealed layer on the surface of the dough intermediate. The sealing of the intermediate allows for increased expansion through the mixing and proofing stages by increasing fluidity of the dough intermediate and restricting dehydration at the surface and as such contributes to yield improvement better shape definition.

Batter-Like Compositions Containing Setting Agent And Methods Of Preparing And Using Same

View page
US Patent:
20070048426, Mar 1, 2007
Filed:
Aug 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/462214
Inventors:
Yang Kou - Minneapolis MN, US
James Baeten - Bloomington MN, US
Jill Conley - Shakopee MN, US
Anita Fishbach - Saint Paul MN, US
Christine O'Connor - Rogers MN, US
International Classification:
A21D 10/00
US Classification:
426549000
Abstract:
The invention provides batter-like compositions including flour or flour replacement ingredient, sweetener, a fat source, a chemical leavening system, and a setting agent. The resulting batter-like compositions are capable of being formed into discrete product pieces (such as pucks), and maintaining the discrete product form throughout storage and handling of the batter-like composition prior to baking. The invention further provides methods of preparing batter-like compositions having a discrete form, and methods of using such batter-like compositions to provide baked goods.
