A BEVERAGE POWDER WHICH IS ABLE TO PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE THE VISCOSITY OF LIQUIDS. THE BEVERAGE POWDER CONTAINS PARTICLES OF A GELATINISED CEREAL FRACTION CONTAINING ß-GLUCAN. THE PARTICLES HAVE A PARTICLE SIZE OF LESS THAN ABOUT 350µm. WHEN DISSOLVED IN LIQUID TO PROVIDE A BEVERAGE HAVING A ß-GLUCAN CONCENTRATION OF ABOUT 0.4TO ABOUT 1.5BY WEIGHT, THE BEVERAGE POWDER PROGRESSIVELY INCREASES THE VISCOSITY OF THE BEVERAGE SUCH THAT, AFTER ABOUT 15MINUTES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, THE BEVERAGE HAS A VISCOSITY BELOW ABOUT 350mPa.a BUT WHICH RAPIDLY DEVELOPS A FINAL VISCOSITY OF ABOVE ABOUT 1000 mPa.s AT BODY TEMPERATURE.
