LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSACCHARIDE DERIVATIVES USEFUL AS FOOD INGREDIENTS

摘要

A mixture of polymers derived from degradation of a polysaccharide derivative is used as new low calorie food ingredient and also to replace at least a portion of a conventional high calorie ingredient in a foodstuff recipe, the fat substitute being fat-free and having fat-like properties such that the eating quality of the new food products or the high calorie ingredient-replaced foodstuff is desirable or substantially maintained.
