Abstract
Abstract The invention concerns a pulverulent, free-flowing monoglyceride based additive for use in the preparation of farinaceous and starch-containing products such as bread, macaroni, spaghetti, noodles and extruded snack products; this additive has been obtained by spray-cooling a substantially dry mixture containing the monoglyceride in molten condition together with at least one phosphatide, preferably lecithin and especially preferred soybean lecithin so that the individual particles will contain the monoglyceride and the phosphatide in substantially constant proportion. The product gives almost as good baking performance or performance in other heating processes for the dough into which it is incorporated as does a so-called monoglyceride-hydrate and has the further advantage of improving the flowing and packing properties of the pulverulent mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for preparing a pulverulent, free-flowing monoglyceride additive in the form of individual particles for use in the preparation of farinaceous and starch-containing edible products wherein the individual particles contain in substantially constant proportion (a) at least one monoglyceride and (b) at least one lecithin; comprising the steps of melting at least one distilled monoglyceride of saturated C 12-24 fatty acids, adding at least one substantially dry lecithin in an amount so as to constitute 0.1-40% of the weight of the mixture and spray-cooling the resultant mixture substantially without adding water to obtain said individual particules.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for preparing a pulverulent, free-flowing monoglyceride additive in the form of individual particles for use in the preparation of farinaceous and starch-containing edible products wherein the individual particles contain in substantially constant proportion (a) at least one monoglyceride and (b) at least one lecithin; comprising the steps of melting at least one distilled monoglyceride of saturated C 12-24 fatty acids, adding at least one substantially dry lecithin in an amount so as to constitute 0.1-40% of the weight of the mixture and spray-cooling the resultant mixture substantially without adding water to obtain said individual particules.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lecithin is non-hydroxylated soybean lecithin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of lecithin is 0.2-30% by weight of the mixture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the amount of lecithin is 0.5-10% by weight of the mixture.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
180 words
A method for preparing a pulverulent, free-flowing monoglyceride additive in the form of individual particles for use in the preparation of farinaceous and starch-containing edible products, wherein the individual particles contain in substantially constant proportion (a) at least one monoglyceride, (b) at least one lecithin and (c) at least one edible finely pulverulent solid carrier material; comprising the steps of adding at least one lecithin and at least one edible, finely pulverulent, substantially dry, solid carrier material selected from the group consisting of full fat soybean flour, defatted soybean flour, skim milk powder, microcrystalline cellulose, wheat gluten, sodium caseinate and maltodextrins, to at least one distilled monoglyceride of saturated C 12-24 fatty acids in molten condition, the amount of lecithin being 0.1-40% of the weight of components (a) and (b) and the amount of pulverulent carrier material being 3-40% of the weight of components (a), (b) and (c), the sum of the amount of carrier and lecithin not exceeding 50% by weight of the resulting blend and thereafter spray-cooling the resulting blend without adding water to obtain said individual mixtures.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
180 words
A method for preparing a pulverulent, free-flowing monoglyceride additive in the form of individual particles for use in the preparation of farinaceous and starch-containing edible products, wherein the individual particles contain in substantially constant proportion (a) at least one monoglyceride, (b) at least one lecithin and (c) at least one edible finely pulverulent solid carrier material; comprising the steps of adding at least one lecithin and at least one edible, finely pulverulent, substantially dry, solid carrier material selected from the group consisting of full fat soybean flour, defatted soybean flour, skim milk powder, microcrystalline cellulose, wheat gluten, sodium caseinate and maltodextrins, to at least one distilled monoglyceride of saturated C 12-24 fatty acids in molten condition, the amount of lecithin being 0.1-40% of the weight of components (a) and (b) and the amount of pulverulent carrier material being 3-40% of the weight of components (a), (b) and (c), the sum of the amount of carrier and lecithin not exceeding 50% by weight of the resulting blend and thereafter spray-cooling the resulting blend without adding water to obtain said individual mixtures.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the lecithin is a non-hydroxylated soybean lecithin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the average particle size of the edible, pulverulent carrier material is between 20 and 100 μm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the amount of lecithin is 0.2-30% by weight.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the amount of lecithin is 0.5-10% by weight.
