Abstract: A method of modifying the viscosity characteristic of a starchy flour by physical treatment, including beating in alcohol in a confined zone. The resulting starchy flour exhibits thin-thick viscosity characteristics when beated, and provides added viscosity in acid systems without breaking down. It has particular application to baby food recipes to impart desired texture and mouthfeel. Oat flour is the presently preferred starchy flour to be treated for use in baby foods. In one embodiment, a starchy flour is slurried in aqueous organic liquid, preferably ethanol, and is then subjected to heat and pressure for a predetermined time to modify the physical properties of the flour. The specific combination of pressure, temperature, and heating time determine the properties of the treated flour. The alcohol treatment of the starchy flour may be performed continuously by forcing the starchy flour slurried in alcohol through a tubular confined zone under the required conditions of heat, pressure and residence time in the reactor to accomplish the desired physical changes. The continuous process greatly improves production rates.

Abstract: PROCESSED VEGETABLE SEED FIBER FOR FOOD PRODUCTS A processed vegetable seed fiber, particularly soybean fiber, for use in food products. Processing is accomplished by heating an aqueous slurry of the crude vegetable seed fiber to about 160.degree.F., and then addingacid to reduce the pH of the heated slurry to about 3.5. The elevated temperature of the slurry is maintained for up to about one hour while the slurry is agitated. The resulting acid-pasteurized slurry is then dewatered to obtain a fiber material at about 20-30% dry solids. Fresh water is then added to the dewatered fiber material to reslurry it to about 3-4% dry solids. The reslurried fiber material is agitated at a temperature up to about 140.degree.F. for about fifteen to thirty minutes, dewatered a second time, and then dried to about 10% moisture. When crude soybean fiber is heated and treated with acid as described above, using sulfuric acid, the hilums of the seed hulls included as part of the soybean fiber becomes distinctly lighter in color.
