Title: Reduction of serum separation in vegetable or fruit based pectin containing food using pectinesterase
Inventor: BUDOLFSEN GITTE
IPC: A23L29/231
Filed: 1996-09-18
Abstract: A method for reducing the serum separation of an aqueous mass containing pectin, comprising the steps of:	 a) providing an aqueous mass substantially free from pectin depolymerizing enzymes  b) adding an effective amount of pectinesterase, about 4 and 110 PEU/kg VSS, preferably substantially free from pectin depolymerizing enzymes  c) incubating said mass in the presence of divalent cations  This method allows the reduction or cessation of serum separation without the addition of any further external agents.

Title: Method for preparing potato strips for being flavour stable for at least one month by reducing moisture, frying and freezing to predetermined parameters
Inventor: WALSH BELLE CROMWELL
IPC: A23L19/12
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing frozen par-fried potato strips consisting of about 38 % to about 58 % moisture which remain fresh tasting after storage at about 0 °F (-17.8 °C). The method comprises peeling, trimming and cutting raw potatoes into strips, blanching, and reducing the moisture content of the potato strips to not less than about 60 %. The reduced moisture potato strips are then par-fried in oil at a temperature of from about 270 °F (132 °C) to about 335 °F (168.3 °C) for a time sufficient to reduce the moisture content of the potato strips to about 38 % to about 58 % moisture. Thereafter, the par-fried potato strips are frozen. The frozen par-fried potato strips are stable (i.e., free from off-flavour development) when stored at 0 °F (-17.8 °C) to about 20 °F (-6.7 °C) for at least 1 month. When cooked, the finished French fries have improved flavour over conventional oven baked fries.
