Patent No. EP3222658 (titled "Agent For Delaying The Gelling Temperature Of Starch Including Short-Chain Fructooligosaccharides (Scfos)") was filed by Beghin Meiji on Mar 24, 2017. The application was issued on Aug 12, 2020.
Method for increasing the gelatinization temperature of starch in aqueous compositions, comprising substituting 15-100% of sweetening bulking agents with short-chain fructooligosaccharides (ScFOS) in a starch/ScFOS mass ratio of 0.4-4. The ScFOS delay starch gelatinization, enabling higher cooking temperatures and improved texture in baked goods.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
