IMITATION CHEESE CONTAINING AN ADMIXTURE OF MODIFIED AND UNMODIFIED UNGELATINIZED STARCHES

摘要

An imitation cheese product is produced, which contains natural cheese and an admixture of modified and unmodified, ungelatinized, low-amylose starch. The ratio of the modified, ungelatinized starch to the unmodified ungelatinized starch ranges from 1:1 to 5:1. The imitation cheese product also contains water, gelatin, salt, emulsifier salts and, optionally, a bulking agent and oil. The imitation cheese product contains no added casein and/or caseinates (other than that present in the natural cheese) and is preferably a restricted melt cheese.
