PCT No. PCT/GB92/01877 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 15, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 13, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/07769 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 9, 1993A process for solubilising an alpha-glucan containing foodstuff which comprises processing a carbohydrate-containing material having a moisture content of less than 40% by weight in an extruder under severe conditions of mechanical disruption and shear at high screw speed. The solubility of the extrudate after milling is greater than 55% by weight in water. Novel soluble alpha-glucan components of the extrudate are provided having a ratio of greater than 1 for the amount of alpha-glucan having a degree of polymerisation greater than 50 to the amount of alpha-glucan with a degree of polymerisation less than 50. Food drinks comprising ingredients produced using the process are described. |
