An extruded, directly expanded, high fiber reduced calorie food product, such as a ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal or sweet or savory snack, is produced at high production rates without substantial loss of extrusion functionality and extrudability by replacing a substantial portion of at least one flour with a gelatinized, enzyme-resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent as a reduced-calorie, high fiber flour replacer. The resistant starch type III ingredient or bulking agent contains an enzyme-resistant starch type III having a melting point with an endothermic peak temperature of at least about 140° C., and may have a water-holding capacity of less than 3 grams water per gram of the starch-based bulking agent. The total dietary fiber retention of the gelatinized, starch-based bulking agent may be at least about 90% by weight after the extrusion using a die temperature of least about 100° C., and a die pressure of at least about 150 psig.

The present invention is directed towards a method for making a healthy snack food having an appearance and taste similar to conventional fried snack products without the use of an oil-frying process. The method of the present invention includes the steps of providing food slices from a starch-based food or dough. The food slices can be blanched and a small amount of oil can be added to enhance final organoleptical properties. The food slices are then rapidly dehydrated to a much lower moisture content in a primary drying step. The dehydrated food slices can then be heated to impart fried flavor notes. A food snack, such as a corn or potato-based snack, produced by this method is a low-fat, ready-to-eat snack having the conventional texture and taste associated with fried snack products.

The invention relates to a method for ready-to-eat mussel flesh products. The method is characterized in that: 1, the mussel flesh is softened by protease, so that actomyosins and elastins in collagen fibers and connective tissues can be effectively degraded, the connections among partial amino acids are broken, and proper chewing force is given to the mussel flesh products; 2, the fishy compositions of the mussel flesh are embedded by a beta-cyclodextrin embedding process, so that the original off-flavor of the mussels can be effectively reduced; 3, on a basis of effectively removing the fishy smell, flavoring agents, white granulated sugar, soy sauce and the like are added in a proper ratio to flavor the mussel flesh for a better taste; and 4, the mussel flesh is dried by a low-temperature hot air drying process, and the water content is properly controlled on a basis of ensuring the quality of the mussel flesh products. The method has the advantages of overcoming the defects of too high toughness, poor chewing property and strong fishy smell existing in the conventional process of making the mussel flesh products, along with simple process, low cost and easy operation.
