Description
Title Culinary ing or bouillon tablet The present invention relates to a seasoning or bouillon tablet used as cooking aid for the preparation of culinary food.C products.
Culinary seasoning or bouillon tablets are well known cooking aids in the western as well as non-western cuisine. They are typically made from more or less dry ingredients such as dehydrated vegetables, meat stock, salt, oil or fat, herbs and spices, and sometimes also comprise taste enhancers such as monosodium glutamate salts or yeast extract. A dry mixture of these ingredients is then typically pressed into small cubes or s with the help of a pressing machine.
Cubes or tablets obtained by this process usually have a certain stable hardness which allows to individually wrap— package them, and to ship and distribute them in the trade. ers then unpack an individual cube or tablet and typically break them up between the fingers before adding them to a dish or cooking pot. By squeezing the tablets between the s,.C the tablets then tend to crumble into lumps, small particles or powder. This is an important advantage as good crumbling into a relatively fine powder or les allows to better disperse the ingredients of the cube or tablet into a cooking dish. There is better and faster simultaneous dissolution of the ingredients in the dish, sauce, water or in the pan. Even though some commercially available tablets are fairly easy to crumble n fingers, many tablets on the market are quite hard and need quite some e ort "rom the consumers to be broken up. This is due to the fact that the hardness o: pressed tablets or cubes tends to increase over time. This phenomenon, also named as post—hardening, is mainly due to bridges formed by ing between amorphous particles (e.g. the culinary flavouring compounds) and bridges formed by dissolution/ re-crystallization of crystalline les such as e.g. the salts.
Hence, there is still a need in the art and the food industry to find solutions on how to provide consumers with culinary ing or bouillon tablets that are hard enough to be handled as tablets, that are shelf-stable and can be kept relatively long before use, but that also relatively easily crumble into a fine powder or particles when squeezed between fingers upon use in the preparation of a food dish.
Consequently, the object of the present invention is to improve the state of the art and to provide culinary ing or bouillon tablets that have a minimal or no post-hardening effect once finished in production.
The object of the present invention is achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims. The dependent claims further develop the idea of the present invention.
Accordingly, the t invention provides in a first aspect a seasoning or bouillon tablet comprising salt, oil and/or fat and a culinary flavoring, wherein the tablet further ses 5 to dry wt% of a cereal bran.
In a second aspect, the invention s a method for reducing post-hardening of a seasoning or on tablet comprising the step of including 5 to 25 dry wt% of a cereal bran into a composition of said tablet.
A further aspect is the use of the seasoning or bouillon table: of the present invention for ing a culinary :ood product.
It has been surprisingly found by the inventors that when cereal bran material is incorporated into the recipe of making seasoning or bouillon tablets, tablets can be obtained which have a good, able hardness for being industrially processed and cially distributed, and at the same time those tablets had a significantly reduced post-hardening effect when .C _ lor example being tested and exposed to cycles of humidity conditions, simulating frequently experienced environmenta-_ conditions products are exposed to in real market and private storage conditions. The results of those tests are provided in the mental section below.

Figure 2: Post—hardening o: bouillon cubes comprising cereal brans.
Detailed Description of the invention The present ion provides in a first aspec: a seasoning or bouillon tablet comprising salt, oil and/or fat and a culinary ing, characterized in that the tablet further comprises ’ to 75 dry wt% of a cereal bran. The seasoning or bouillon tablet is suitable for preparing a culinary food product. Such a culinary food product can be for example a soup, a consomme, a sauce for a meat dish, a sauce for a fish dish, or a sauce for a vegetable dish.
"Cereal bran" or ,he present invention is defined as the milling fraction .C irom cereals ning pericarp, testa, aleurone layer, germ, and part of the starchy endosperm.
Cereal brans are rich in dietary fibres and vital nutrients. A key component of the bran, the aleurone layer, is vely high in ash, protein, total orus, phytate phosphorus, fat, and niacin.
Preferably, the tablet according to the present invention comprises 5 to 10 dry wt% 0: a cereal bran.
In an ment of the present invention the cereal bran comprised in the tablet o: the present invention is milled.
Preferably, the cereal bran is dry milled. Typically, milling transforms the cereal bran into a more palatable form by reducing the particle size of the bran. Milling of the bran has the advantage that it e.g. improves the homogeneity o: the final product, that it improves the mixing efficiency of the bran and the other ingredients, that it improves the binding ability n the different ingredients, that it improves the ibility of the bran by the consumer. Milling preferably reduces the particle size of the cereal bran to below 1mm in diameter, more ably to below 0.5mm in diameter, even more preferable to below 0.3mm in diameter.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the cereal bran is selected from the group consisting of rice bran, wheat bran, buckwheat bran, corn bran, oat bran, barley bran, or a combination thereof.
"Salt" of the present invention refers to any suitable alkali metal salt or mixture thereof typically used or useful for cooking in a n in order to provide or improve the salty taste of a food product. The salt used in the composition of this invention comprises sodium chloride. In one ment of the present invention, salt is sodium chloride.
In a red embodiment, the tablet according to the present invention comprises sodium chloride in an amount of at least wt%, even more preferably of at least 40 wt%.
"Oil and/or fat" refer to the rd oil and fat ingredients used in the food industry. "Fat" is typically an animal or vegetable fat. Preferably, the fat is se‘ected from the group of chicken fat, beef fat, and hydrogenated vegetable fat. Oil is preferab'y selected from the group consisting of palm oil, palm olein, olive oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil and canola oil, or a combination thereor.
Typically, the seasoning or bouillon tablet of the present invention may comprise between 1 and 25 wt% 0: an oil and/or fat composition.
The "culinary flavoring" o: the present ion refer to at least one flavouring agent typically used in the preparation for making a culinary food product. In the tablet o: the present ion, a culinary flavoring is preferably ed from the group consisting o: herbs, spices, a vegetable, a meat or fish component, yeast extract, protein ysate, or a ation thereor. Preferably, the vegetable, and the meat or fish component may be in the form of a powder.
In one further embodiment, the tablet of the present invention further comprises crystalline monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Thereby, the MSG acts as a culinary, umami taste enhancer.
In a still further embodiment, the tablet of the present invention does not se maltodextrin. Generally, seasoning and bouillon tablets are produced today by making use of some maltodextrin. Maltodextrin has typically the function to act on one hand as a filler and on the other hand as a binder for providing the necessary texture and structure 0: the pressed seasoning and bouillon tablets. The inventors have now observed that by integrating a cereal bran into the recipe of making such ry seasoning or bouillon tablets, the presence 0: maltodextrin is not required anymore. Hence, advantageously, the present invention also allows to reduce or to completely eliminate the use of maltodextrin from the ition of such products. Consequently, the number 0; ients, and particularly of processed ingredients, can be d. Such products are now better iated by consumers as they are perceived as more natural and comprising more natural and less sed ingredients.
In one preferred embodiment, the tablet o: the present invention has a hardness 0: between 200 and 800 Newton. More preferably, the tablet of the present invention has a hardness of becween 250 and 600 NeWton. Even more preferably, the hardness is between 250 and 500 Newton. The advantage of a tablet having this specified hardness is that it is very convenient and easy to be handled and used by a consumer.

In particular, features described for the product of the present invention may be combined with the method of the invention and vice I: present versa. Further, leatures described for diiferent embodiments of the present invention may be combined.
Further advantages and features of the present ion are apparent from the figures and es.
Example 1: ing of bouillon cube with bran Bouillon cubes containing about (in total percent in weight) 50% 0: sodium chloride, 15% o: monosodium glutamate, 5% palm oil, maltodextrin and starch well difl.C as as r nt v gctablc pioccs and herb leaves, spices and s were prepared in plastic containers through manual mixing fol-owing the composition presented in Table 1 for starch, maltodextrin, and bran (in total percent in weight). The resulting bouillon mass was left for l h in a closed ner at room temperature to allow proper moisture distribution before cube formation. Cubes were then ed using a tailor—made die coupled to a mechanical tester type Zwick 2005 equipped with a 5 kN load cell. Constant cube weight of 4 i 0.01 g and length of edges of 13.1 mm were used.
The result 0: the hardness o: the cubes tested is shown in Figure Table 1: Composition of the Samples Samples % Starch % Maltodextrin % Bran 1 7.8 O O 2 O O 7.8 (Oat) 3 O O 7.8 (Buckwheat) 4 O O 7.8 (Wheat) O O 7.8 (Rice) 6 O O 7.8 (Corn) 7 O O 7.8 (Malted Barley) 8 6.2 2.7 O 9 O O 8.9 (Oat) LO 0 O 8.9 (Buckwheat) 11 O O 8.9 (Wheat) 12 O O 8.9 (Rice) 13 O O 8.9 (Corn) As can be seen in Figire 1, surprisingly it was found that the resulting hardness o: the bouillon cubes containing bran o; different cereal origin as replacement of starch and maltodextrin es 2-7 and Sample 9-13) led the hardness of the original reference cubes (Samples 1 and 8). The observed hardness of the Samples 4 and 5 was slightly lower than reference Sample 1, but still acceptable. Similarly, Samples 9- 13 showed somewhat lower hardness than the nce Sample 8, but were also still acceptable.
Example 2: Post—hardening of bouillon cubes on cubes were prepared according to the composition presented in Table 2 and following the mixing procedure described in Example 1. The resulting bouillon cubes were placed in a sorption test instrument type SPS from ProUmid to assess the hardness upon exposing the cubes to different humidity conditions that typically' lead to post-hardening (hardening increase to unacceptable levels). An e of 5 cubes were kept at 25 °C during 72 h to 60% RH followed by 30% RH for 72 h.
Subsequently, the cube hardness (breakage force) was measured using a mechanical testers type Zwick Z005 equipped with a 5 kN load cell through a compression test med at a constant compression speed of 1.0 mm/s. Breaking force was taken at the maximum or the force e during the compression test.
Table 2: Composition of the Samples Compositions % Maltodextrin % Starch % Bran l 2 7 6.2 O 2 O O 8.9 heat) 3 O O 8.9 (Oat) 4 O O 8.9 ) The result of the hardness and post-hardening test are shown in Figure 2. Thereby, the Samples 1 to 4, corresponding to the compositions 1-4 respectively, were stored and the hardness measured under the same conditions as in Example 1. And the Samples 1’ to 4’, corresponding to the compositions 1-4 respectively, were exposed to humidity cycles as bed in this Example above.
The results presented in Figure 2 show the .C ,— o: bran to sustain the desired value of hardening in cubes after exposition to a cycle of humidity conditions that resembles to environmental conditions frequently experienced for product in the market and ore well simulates long-term storage of such products in real market situations. Overall, the rise in post-hardening experienced by the nce sample 1 (see Sample 1’ versus Sample 1) was much significant y reduced in recipes containing brans (see Sample 2’ versus Sample 2; Sample 3’ versus Sample 3; and Sample 4’ versus Sample 4).
Consequently, these results show that the presence 0: a cereal bran in a seasoning or bouillon tab'et significantly reduces the post-hardening effect in comparison to reference samples not comprising any cereal brans.
