A method of manufacturing jelly products having fibrous texture resembling fruit pulp, wherein at least a first liquid material adjusted to pH 4.0 or less and containing at least a kind of proteinous material selected from the group consisting of those originating from eggs, milk and soya beans, and a second liquid material containing at least a kind of gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, gum arabic and pullulane and at least a kind of gelling agent selected from the group consisting of agar, furcellaran, and carrageenan are separately prepared, then they are mixed at a temperature higher than the gelling temperature of the gelling agents used, and cooled for gelling. An additional liquid material including material derived from fruit and/or vegetable, for example fruit or vegetable juice, can be added to the mixture of said first and second liquid materials in such a manner that said first and second liquid materials are mixed and after fibrous textures are actually formed in the resultant mixture, the additional liquid materials are added to the mixture while it maintains its flowability.

Method of manufacturing jelly products having fibrous texture

A method of manufacturing solid or semi-solid dessert products, wherein each of liquid materials for base and one or more kinds of sauces contains an assortment of two or more kinds of gelling agents. Each of liquid materials for a base and one or more kinds of sauces is prepared and then cooled to form a gel and then destroyed to obtain a homogeneous pasty material for base or each of sauces. The resulting pasty material for base is filled into a container and immediately thereafter the resulting one or more kinds of pasty materials for sauces are filled onto, above and/or under the surface of the base material to form an ornamental pattern. Finally the materials filled into a container are cooled for gelling.

A method of manufacturing a whipped dessert; wherein a gelling agent comprising two components which may form a gel when they are mixed with each other is utilized, wherein one of two components is included in a first liquid material containing at least a whipping ingredient of an aimed dessert, the other of two components of the gelling agent is included in a second liquid material containing the remaining ingredients of the aimed dessert product; and wherein the first liquid material is whipped, the second liquid material is mixed with the whipped material for gelling.

A culture containing a viable mass of Bifodobacteria and lactic acid bacteria is obtained by incubating separately or together microorganisms of the genus Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and the species Streptococcus thermophilus in a medium containing milk as the main ingredient. The Streptococcus thermophilus is a strain having high oxygen uptake. When incubated separately, the microorganisms are mixed together after incubating. In the presence of the high oxygen uptake Streptococcus thermophilus, a high survival fraction of the Bifidobacteria is obtained when the culture is stored under aerobic conditions. The culture is useful in preparing food, medicine or feed.

Culture containing a viable cell mass of Bifidobacteria and lactic acid

A process for preparing a sarcocarp containing jelly having homogeneously dispersed sarcocarps by (a) dissolving starting materials for the manufacture of a jelly, other than gelling agents and sarcocarps, in water to prepare a syrup; (b) preparing an isotonized mixture (B) comprising isotonized sarcocarps and the syrup, by adding sarcocarps to the syrup to form a mixture (B) and heating the mixture (B) to pasteurize said mixture; (c) preparing a solution (A), with a specific gravity and in an amount necessary for the preparation of a liquid portion having a specific gravity substantially equal to that of the isotonized sarcocarps contained in the isotonized mixture (B), of a compounded mixture prepared by mixing the solution (A) with the isotonized mixture (B), wherein said solution (A) is prepared by heating an aqueous solution of starting materials containing gelling agents but not acidic constituents or the sarcocarps, and wherein the aqueous solution of starting materials has approximately a neutral pH for pasteurization; and (d) mixing the solution (A) with the isotonized mixture (B) at a temperature of not lower than the gelling temperature of the compounded mixture of the solution (A) and the isotonized mixture (B), and rapidly cooling the compounded mixture to solidify said mixture before reisotonizing the sarcocarps contained therein to the osmotic pressure of the liquid portion of the compounded mixture.

A whipped-cream topping dessert is prepared by a process comprising the steps of: (a) formulating an aqueous mixture containing 10 to 30 percent by weight of fat, 3 to 6 percent by weight of milk protein, 12 to 22 percent by weight of saccharide, 0.3 to 0.8 percent by weight of emulsifier, 0.05 to 0.15 percent by weight of thickening agent and 0.3 to 0.6 percent by weight of gelling agent; (b) homogenizing said mixture; (c) pasteurizing and cooling the mixture to room temperature; (d) thereafter adding an aqueous solution of a calcium salt to said mixture so that the amount of calcium ion in said mixture is 10 to 35 mg. per 1 gram of the milk protein; (e) whipping and heating the resultant mixture at a temperature of 25.degree. to 30.degree.C to prepare a flowable whipped-cream; (f) topping said whipped-cream onto a lower layer dessert base maintained at a temperature of 50.degree. to 70.degree.C which has previously been placed into a container; and (g) solidifying both layers by cooling.
