Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to an extruded high fiber product with high soluble fiber content, and methods of making such a product.
  • High dietary fiber-containing foods can help consumers balance their nutritional needs.
  • fiber can help improve satiety while contributing fewer calories than protein, digestible carbohydrates, and fats. Consumers want diverse ways to get increased fiber into their diets. Thus, there is a need for new high fiber food products to satisfy the increasing consumer desire for convenient and enjoyable eating experiences that contribute fiber.
  • High density, high total fiber and high soluble fiber, ready-to-eat food pieces that contain a high molecular weight (HMW) soluble fiber content of at least 40% by weight, and methods of making such food pieces are provided herein.
  • HMW high molecular weight
  • a low density, high fiber, ready-to-eat (RTE) food piece is provided herein.
  • a food piece provided herein has a moisture content of less than 5% by weight, and includes a soluble fiber ingredient contributing high molecular weight (HMW) soluble fiber in an amount of 40% to about 95% by dry weight of the food piece, the HMW soluble fiber having an average degree of polymerization (DP) at least 20, or an average dextrose equivalent (DE) of less than 4.
  • HMW high molecular weight
  • the balance by dry weight of a food piece provided herein includes an insoluble fiber ingredient contributing insoluble fiber in an amount of about 0% to about 35% (e.g., at least 1% to about 35%) by dry weight of the food piece; a protein ingredient in an amount of 0% to 25% (e.g., at least 1% to about 25%) by dry weight of the food piece; a net carbohydrate content of 0% to 25% by dry weight of the food piece; and total other ingredients in an amount of 0% to 8% by dry weight of the food piece.
  • the insoluble fiber ingredient can include a bran.
  • the HMW soluble fiber can have an average DE of about 1 to about 2.
  • the HMW soluble fiber can include a resistant maltodextrin, soluble corn fiber, and/or inulin.
  • other ingredients in a food piece can include calcium carbonate, xanthan gum, and/or oil.
  • Xanthan gum can be included in a food piece in an amount of up to 5% by dry weight of the food piece.
  • a food piece can have a total fiber content of about 60% to about 80%.
  • a food piece can include insoluble fiber and protein ingredient, where the combined HMW soluble fiber amount, insoluble fiber amount, and the protein ingredient amount comprise at least 75% by dry weight of the food piece.
  • a protein ingredient in a food piece can include a soybean protein ingredient or a pea protein ingredient in an amount of about 5% to about 20% by dry weight of the food piece.
  • a food piece according to any of the embodiments above can be combined with a coating on at least a portion of a surface of the food piece to produce a coated food piece.
  • Food compositions are provided that include a plurality of food pieces and/or coated food pieces according to any disclosed embodiment. Such a food composition can optionally include one or more other types of food pieces, such as nuts, grain, confectionery pieces, and the like. Such a food composition, in some embodiments, can be packaged and ready to eat. Such a food composition, in some embodiments, can be included as particulates in an aggregate food, such as a snack bar or a cluster. Such a food composition, in some embodiments, can be included as a topper for another food, such as yogurt, ice cream, or pudding.
  • Methods of making a food piece provided herein are also described. Such a method includes combining ingredients under extrusion conditions to form a dough, forming the dough into pieces, and puffing the pieces to make low density food pieces.
  • the puffing step can be performed by direct expansion of the dough during the forming step.
  • a particular challenge in making a high fiber puffed food piece is in including significant amounts of fiber and still achieving a density and texture similar to traditional puffed RTE products, such as breakfast cereal.
  • commercially available high fiber breakfast cereal products exist with fiber contents ranging from 27% to 43% by weight, they are much denser than a food piece provided herein, and typically come in forms such as flakes or “twigs.”
  • Commercially available high fiber product densities are above 300 g per 100 cubic inches, and range up to 540 g per 100 cubic inches.
  • Such high soluble fiber puffs are robust enough to remain substantially intact during standard RTE cereal manufacturing and handling procedures, including coating, conveying, packaging, and shipping.
  • This discovery enables a RTE base food piece that has a total fiber content of least 40% (e.g., about 60% to about 95%) by dry weight, with an HMW soluble fiber content of at least 40% (e.g., 40% to about 95%, about 42% to about 80%, or about 42% to about 60%) by dry weight.
  • Such a puff can optionally contain an insoluble fiber content of up to about 35% (e.g., about 20% to about 30%) by dry weight, and/or an optional protein ingredient in an amount of up to about 25% (e.g., about 5% to about 20%) by dry weight.
  • Such high fiber, low-density pieces have a net carbohydrate content of less than 25% by dry weight of food piece.

  • a low-density food piece may also be referred to herein as “puffed.”
  • ready-to-eat (“RTE”) refers to a food that does not require further cooking or preparation to be suitable and safe for consumption.
  • RTE ready-to-eat
  • a food piece provided herein is typically also shelf stable at room temperature for at least 3 months (e.g., at least 6 months, or 8 months to 1 year) without significant negative impact on texture, structure, or flavor when stored in appropriate packaging.
  • a food piece provided herein can also be suitably coated to produce a coated food piece, or it can be used in other products, such as dry snacks, snack blends, cold-formed or baked snack bars or clusters.
  • a food piece provided herein can be agglomerated with similar food pieces and/or a second edible piece (e.g., rolled grain, nuts, fruit pieces, seeds, and the like) using a binder to produce agglomerations, such as clusters and granola-type bars. It is to be understood that the features of a base food piece (sometimes shortened to “food piece” herein) are described to include only the base food piece, not any coatings, binders, or other pieces unless otherwise specified.
  • HMW high molecular weight
  • soluble fibers that have significant amounts of monosaccharides other than glucose or fructose (e.g., psyllium or xanthan gum) as their base units could be puffed in some cases, but could collapse after puffing or have unacceptable texture, color, and/or flavor, even when combined with other ingredients.
  • monosaccharides other than glucose or fructose e.g., psyllium or xanthan gum
  • a food piece provided herein includes a soluble fiber ingredient that contributes a high molecular weight (HMW) soluble fiber in an amount of at least 40% (e.g., about 40% to about 95%, or about 45% to about 60%) by dry weight of a food piece.
  • HMW high molecular weight
  • the term “high molecular weight soluble fiber” refers to soluble fiber having: an average dextrose equivalent (DE) of less than 4 (e.g., less than 3.5, 3.3 or less, 3.0 or less, about 1 to about 3, or about 1 to about 2), or a degree of polymerization (DP) of at least 20 (e.g., at least 25, at least 30, at least 50, or at least 55).
  • DE dextrose equivalent
  • DP degree of polymerization
  • a HMW soluble fiber can have a DP of up to 120 (e.g., up to 100).

  • an “insoluble fiber ingredient” comprises insoluble fiber in an amount of at least 40% (e.g., at least 60%, or at least 70%) by dry weight of the ingredient.
  • Any insoluble fiber ingredient suitable for use in a food can be used, such as bran, grain hulls, cellulose, sugar cane fiber, and the like, or any combination thereof.
  • Com bran can be a particularly suitable insoluble fiber ingredient due to a relatively high insoluble fiber content (typically at least 80% by weight), which can help to limit net carbohydrate content in a food piece.
  • a puff comprising a HMW soluble fiber is sturdier than a puff comprising other soluble fiber ingredients.
  • an insoluble fiber can further contribute to a texture and structure of a base food piece that closely resembles a RTE breakfast cereal piece in both eating experience and in handleability while limiting the amount of net carbohydrate content.
