CONCENTRATE FOOD COMPOSITION COMPRISING ACID PECTIN GEL

摘要

The present invention relates to a concentrate food composition and the use said food composition for preparing a bouillon, soup, sauce, gravy or seasoned dish. The dissolution or dispersion of the known high-salt food concentrates in water or through a dish may often take several minutes, while a rapid dissolution and dispersion through the dish is of high importance. Therefore, there is a need for a food concentrate that allows high dilution rates while maintaining the taste impact and which food concentrate dissolves relatively rapid in hot water or a hot dish. It has been found that a food concentrate in the form of a gel having a pH lower than 3.5, comprising water, sodium salt and a gelling pectin, dissolves quickly in hot water or a hot dish.

主权项

1. Packaged food concentrate in the form of a gel, comprising
water, sodium salt and optionally potassium salt in a total amount of from 5 wt % to 40 wt %, based on the total water content, wherein salt is calculated as (weight of salt/(weight of salt+weight of total water content))*100, gelling pectin, being all pectin with a degree of esterification of below 55, wherein gelling pectin is dissolved in the water,wherein the food concentrate has a pH of lower than 3.5.
