Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure An edible, hydrophilic substance is wetted with water or an aqueous liquid to form a crumbly mass which is then uni-formly mixed. A starch or starch-containing material is then folded into the mixed mass until a homogeneous blend is obtained which is then conditioned, crushed, if desired, dried and sifted to a particle size of about 100 to 300 microns. The weight ratio of hydrophilic substance to water and starch is such that the conditioned product is in the form of agglomerates compris-ing starch nuclei particles that are surrounded by or embedded in a protective layer of the hydrophilic substance. The agglo-merated product obtained can be mixed or blended with dry food ingredients to obtain an instant food product that can be readi-ly and easily prepared by stirring in hot or cold water and which is free of lumps.

Description

~ i61~0 This invention relates to a process for producing a dry product for food preparations which readily and easily swell and dissolve in water or aqueous liquids without forming lumps.
It has been known that binders, such as starch or starch-containing flours, can be sprayed with water, steam or aqueous salt or sugar solutions and that the agglomerates formed during this process can then be dried such as by means of a fluidized bed. However, this process cannot be applied when using pregelatinized starch or flours containing pregelatinized starch wherein the starch is present in a cold-swelling state.
Wetting of these products, even when treated with steam, results in the formation of lumps. Consequently, the food preparations made using these products also contain lumps and do not swell easily in water and other aqueous liquids.
It has now been found that these disadvantages can be avoided by wetting edible, hydrophilic substances with a suffi-cient amount of water or aqueous liquid to form a crumbly mass, thoroughly mixing the mass to uniformity, folding starch or a starch-containing material into the mixed, crumbly mass until it is homogeneous, conditioning the homogeneous mass; crushing it if desired, and, drying and sifting the mass, the ratio of hydro-philic substance to water and starch being such that the con-ditioned product is present in the form of agglomerates in which the starch particles are the nuclei and are surrounded by or embedded in a protective layer of hydrophilic substance.
According to the invention, there is provided a pro-cess for producing a dry product for food preparations compris-ing: wetting and mixing together an edible, hydrophilic sub-stance with an amount of water or an aqueous liquid sufficient to form a crumbly mass; folding into said crumbly mass a binder material comprising a starch or starch containing material until homogeneous, conditioning, drying and sifting said homogeneous ~ 1 ~ r~

- ~C661~0 mass to obtain a dry product having a particle size of about 100 to 300 microns, the weight ratio of hydrophilic substance to water and binder material being such that the conditioned pro-duct is in the form of agglomerates having binder material nuclei particles surrounded by a layer of said hydrophilic sub-stance, said dry product, when blended with dry food ingredient~, forming an instant food product capable of being readily and easily dissolved in hot or cold water without forming lumps.
The homogeneous mass is suitably conditioned at ambient temperature, without agitation for at least about twenty minutes.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a dry, agglomerated, homogeneously blended product ~or food preparation~ comprising: discrete particles of about 100 -300 microns consisting essentially of nuclei of binder material each of which is embedded in a layer of a hydrophilic substance and having a water content of about 2 - 10%~ said binder material comprising starch or a starch-containing material, said agglome-rated product, when blended with dry food ingredients, forming an instant food product which is capable of being readily and easily dissolved in hot or cold water without forming lumps.
The hydrophilic ~ubstance may be a sugar, sugar alcohol, inorganic salt, sodium glutamate or a mixture thereof.
- 2 _ B

~(~6612~

- -As-used throughout this application and in the appended claims, it should be understood that the expressions "conditioning" and/or "conditioned" refers to the quiescent, that is, non-agitated, state of the homogeneous mass obtained immedi-ately after the qtarch or starch-containing material has been folded into it. This conditioning generally occurs over a period of about 20 - 40 minutes during which time the mass is permitted to equilibrate, with regard to temperature and moisture, and become hardened so that it can then be readily and easily broken 10 up.

- 2a -1~6~ZO

In carrying out the invention, it is advantageous to wet the hydrophilic substances with about 3 to 30% by weight of water or aqueous liquid, based upon the weight of the hydrophilic substances, to form the crumbly mass which is then mixed uni-formly.
Starch or starch-containing material is preferably folded into the mixed mass in an amount of about 25 to 75% by weight based upon the weight of the crumbly mixed mass.
It is important that the water is first combined with the edible, hydrophilic substances, which are preferably in crystalline form, so that the starch is coated by the hydrophilic substances. When this starch-coated product is then placed in water or aqueous liquids or when the aqueous liquids are poured over it, the hydrophilic substances will dissolve first and per-mit the water to penetrate into the starch particles without causing lump formation. This is an extremely important aspect in the manufacture of instant food products which are prepared for consumption by being stirred into cold or hot water, or ideally, are strewn into cold or hot water or over which water can be poured without resulting in the formation of lumps.
The edible, hydrophilic substances are preferably sugars, for example, lactose, sucrose, dextrose, glucose syrup and maltodextrin: sugar alcohols, for example, sorbitol and mannitol, organic acids, inorganic salts, for example, sodium chloride,and sodium glutamate, or mixtures thereof.
Suitable starches include native starches such as corn, wheat, rice, potato and tapioca starches and waxy starches, edible modified starches such as pregelatinized starches, roast dextrins, thin-boiling starches, oxidized starches, starch esters and starch ethers, or mixtures thereof.
Drying of the agglomerated, conditioned and, if desired, crushed mass is preferably to a water content of about 2 to 10%,
- 3 -and it is advantageous to sift the dried agglomerates to a grain size between about 100 and-300 microns. - ~
If desired, the food preparations made from the dry products can be modified to exhibit specific properties in terms of structure and viscosity~. Instead of the starch or starch-containing flours, other edible, high-molecular weight vegetable binders can be used such as pectin, alginates, carrageenates, agar-agar, tragacanth, gum arabic, guar meal and carob kernel meal, or gelatin in an amount of up to about 25% by weight based upon the dry weight of the starch or starch-containing material.
In the manufacture of dry products for specific instant preparations, e.g., soups and beverages, all or part of the desired flavoring and/or coloring matters can be added to the hydrophilic substances, which have been wetted to form a crumbly mass, before adding the starch. Alternatively, aqueous liquids, such as fruit juices, wine, milk, and the like can be used instead of water to wet the edible, hydrophilic substances.
