Oat gels make desserts guilt-free
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Government food scientists looking for a healthier way to satisfy forbidden cravings said yesterday that they had created the ultimate in guilt-free desserts: oat bran ice cream.
Actually, calling it ice cream is stretching it a bit, because it has none of the fat-filled cream that is an essential ingredient of the real thing. Instead it gets its creamy consistency that makes it easy to oat's that made entirely from oats.
Its principal creator, George E. Inglett, calls this secret ingredient Oatrim. He said it could take the place of fat in many cold foods, including mayonnaise, cheese salad dressings and marjorine.
"It has a double whammy," Inglett said. "It will replace animal fat, such as cream, in desserts. And it acts in
the body to lower blood cholesterol."
Inglett, a food scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's research lab in Pueyrre, III., said he believes that the market in two or three years
To be successful, Oatrim will have to compete against other fat substitutes that have been under development longer, and it will have to cope with the pressure of being about the seemingly fantastic powers of oat bran to lower cholesterol.
The first of the substituents, called Simpliese, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month. It is made from egg whites and is used in place of traditional Kraft and Procter & Gamble, are also under consideration by the FDA.
In recent years, the oat bran craze has engendered dozens of products, including oat bran doughnuts and oat bran potato chips. Many of those
products were made with just a sprinkling of oat bran, and Oatrim is made entirely from oat bran or oat flour.
Chemists use enzymes to separate the water soluble fiber from the oats and turn it into a feathery white powder. When mixed with water, it becomes a smooth, semisolid gel that looks and feels like honey. It doesn't taste no more than the glue contains one calorie per gram compared to nine in real fat.
Inglet unveiled his product at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. He handed out samples of English muffins covered with an extra layer of cream. It was sweet and bland with a mild taste of cheddar cheese.
Though he did not demonstrate Oatrim ice cream, he said that in taste surveys people rated it between ice milk and ice cream. When
whipped up by a soft-serve machine, he said tasters described it as 'delicious, excellent, wonderful and marvelous.'
In one respect, however, it is clearly different. Four ounces of fancy premium ice cream contain about 300 calories, 22 grams of fat and 85 milligrams of cholesterol. Outitr ice cream has 135 calories, virtually no fat and 4 milligrams of cholesterol.
Inglett said Oatrim powder could also be stirred into powdered breakfast drinks to provide the same flavour of oat bran fiber as a bowl of oat meal.
"Instead of eating your oatmeal," he said, "there's no reason why you can't drink it in the morning, and then you're off to work."
No studies have been done to see what effect the product has on people's cholesterol levels.
Temporary executives solve short-term business problems
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A new quirk in corporate hiring is the interim executive, according to John A. Bassett, of the Interim Management Corp.
Thompson said many corporations were using executive temps to solve their short-term problems.
"They serve as chief executive officer, chief financial officer, comptroller, chief loan officer, marketing manager and any other executive category in which there is an immediate need," he said.
“An interim management strategy allows a company to meet challenges without padding its permanent team or draining its resources. It’s an effective strategy. It’s a sound, low-risk strategy that any organization can use to
ensure versatility and depth."
He said most interim managers were not out-of-work executives but were people who had achieved a degree of financial independence and were given term assignments rather than permanent corporate positions.
Thompson's company, which specializes in supplying high-level executives on a temporary basis to industry and the non-profit sector, offers this list of questions for potential interim executives:
Have you held a high-level management position for at least 10 years?
- Do you prefer to use your expertise in a wide variety of situations?
- Are you a quick learner?
Are you a self-starter who needs a minimum of supervision?
