REDUCED SUGAR ELASTIC THIN SHEETED FOOD DOUGH

摘要

The present invention provides intermediate moisture low sugar food doughs fortified with sufficient levels of medium chain length polysaccharides to provide needed dough elasticity for use as intermediate dough products in the commercial preparation of finished packaged consumer food products. The food doughs contain less than 5% (dry weight basis) sugar(s) (mono- and di-saccharides). The food doughs contain about 1%-10% medium chain length polysaccharides having a degree of polymerization ranging from about 200-600. The doughs can range in moisture content from about 15-40%. The doughs maintain sufficient pliability to be sheeted into sheeted doughs having thicknesses ranging from about 0.1 to 0.5 mm in thickness. The sheeted doughs can be used to prepare finished breakfast cereal and snack food products.
