A process for the production of powdered sheared amylopectin comprises extruding a farinaceous material comprising greater than 83% by weight amylopectin, optionally with water. The water content of the material under extrusion, including any added water, is in the range of from 6 to 30% by weight, preferably 8 to 24%. The temperature of the material during extrusion is in the range of from 120 to 220 DEG C, preferably 140 to 200 DEG C. Suitable farinaceous materials are waxy maize starch and waxy rice starch.
