Title:
PROCESSED CHEESES COMPRISING DIETARY FIBER GEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006004619
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
According to the present invention, fat and caloric content of processed cheeses can be reduced by the replacement of a portion fat content normally found in processed cheeses with an amount of dietary fiber. The result is that fat and caloric content of processed cheeses can be manipulated with minimal effect on taste and texture. Furthermore, the processed cheeses can further comprise functional foods that increase health and nutritional benefits of the processed cheeses. The functional foods can be added individually, and in any combination thereof. Hence, in addition to reducing fat and caloric content of processed cheeses by replacing a portion of fat with dietary fiber gel, additional health benefits can be achieved with compositions that include functional foods.
