Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shelf-stable liquid or paste concentrate for preparing a food product, to a process for preparing such a concentrate and food product comprising said concentrate.
- the invention relates to a concentrate comprising xanthan gum and un-gelatinised starch for preparing savoury food products such as sauces, gravies and soups.
- Concentrated food products such as dehydrated gravies and sauces, and bouillon or stock cubes, have been known for many years. Savoury dehydrated products are becoming increasingly unattractive to consumers due to a perception that they are not natural, they have an old fashioned image, and they have an artificial appearance. Some products have a pasty texture, but these are typically fat-based and therefore have a high fat content and consequently a poor health or nutritional profile .
- binders or thickeners are available on the market. These are mainly in the form of powdery or granulated products made of non-gelatinized and/or pre-gelatinized starch agglomerated alone or with
- Starch containing dry-foods mixtures are easily manufactured and known today.
- directly consumable, aqueous based starch thickeners are convenient, but prone to
- EP 0 012 465 discloses pasteurized water-based concentrates in sealed containers.
- the osmotic pressure of the composition is increased as to obtain a water activity (aw) of 0.77 to 0.92 using a series of suitable compounds like salts, glycerol, glucose, protein hydrolysates .
- the disposable sealed containers (portions) are stored at room temperature until consumption.
- the concentrates are packaged in single-use container in order to avoid the problem of stability once the packaging is opened.
- EP 0 970 619 describes ambient stable concentrates which yield, upon dilution with an aqueous liquid, a finished sauce, soup or gravy.
- the microbial stability is achieved here mainly by a pH of 4 or lower. Since kitchen salt is also added in a proportion of 1 % to 8 %, the accompanying lowering of the water activity also helps slightly to increase the microbial stability of the concentrate.
- the water activity of the examples given in EP 0 970 619 is of 0.96 to 0.98 at a kitchen salt concentration of 5 %.
- US 3 949 104 Another product is known from US 3 949 104.
- hot swellable (or so called cook-up starches, e.g. native starches) US 3 949 104 describes a formulation were granular cold swellable starches (e.g.
- WO 2004/049822 discloses a shelf-stable, fluid and portionable food thickener which contains non-gelatinized starch.
- the composition is a starch-based fluid concentrate that was obtained by suspending the starch within the aqueous base by the presence of a water activity (a w ) depressing agent. This allowed shelf stability without the need of pasteurization.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the state of the art and to provide a liquid or paste composition that at least goes part way to overcoming one or more of the above mentioned disadvantages of existing liquid or paste
- compositions or at least provides a useful alternative are provided.
- the objective is to provide a liquid or paste composition which: i) further thickens upon use of said liquid or paste product during the preparation of a food product for example by heating or dissolution of the product in hot water, e.g. at a consumer's home; ii) dissolves easily in hot or cold water; iii) is not based on fat as a binder or thickener material and preferably is even substantially free of fat; and iv) does not make use of chemical substances such as polyol, which may not be favourably perceived by consumers; and v) is based on mainly natural ingredients.
- the present invention provides in a first aspect a composition in the form of a shelf-stable liquid or paste concentrate for preparing a food product, the composition consisting of:
- flavourings in the amount of 10 to 45 % (by weight of the total composition) ,
- a food thickening agent in the form of xanthan gum in the amount of 0.05 to 0.2 % (by weight of the total
- composition v) oil in the amount of 2 to 15 % (by weight of the total composition) ,
- the invention relates a process for
- preparing a composition in the form of a shelf-stable liquid or paste concentrate for preparing a food product comprising the steps:
- a third aspect of the invention relates to the use of the composition according to claim 1 for the preparation of a food product .
- a still further aspect of the invention is a food product comprising the composition of claim 1. It has now been found by the inventors that a simple combination of xanthan gum with un-gelatinised starch in a composition with certain concentrations of water, flavourings and salt has some particular desirable and surprising
- a liquid or paste concentrate can now be manufactured that comprises un-gelatinised starch in the final product and that the starch does not sediment therein, that the concentrate is microbiologically safe and has a long shelf-life at room-temperature without forming syneresis or other textural deteriorations of the concentrate product.
- the composition forms a thick liquid or paste at room temperature and is easily dosed into packaging containers and is easily dosed to food preparations therefrom by a consumer; it is easily and directly dissolvable in hot or cold water without forming lumps; it can be used to prepare a thick sauce or gravy by directly applying it into a heating pan; upon heating either in an aqueous solution or in a pan it further develops a nice creamy and thick texture of e.g. a sauce, gravy or soup; and it delivers a smooth mouth-feel which is ideal for a thick sauce or gravy.
