A starchy food-based fat mimetic suitable for use in smooth-textured products, and methods of making the fat mimetic are disclosed. In one method, potato granules are comminuted to fine particles so that at least 90 % by weight of the fine potato particles have a particle size of less than about 50 microns. The potato granules can be comminuted by dispersing the potato granules in an aqueous liquid to form a slurry and homogenizing the slurry. The homogenized slurry can be used as a fat mimetic, or it can be dried to form a potato powder which can be added to food products as a fat mimetic. Also, mimetics made by the same process from other starch foods such as fresh potatoes, potato flakes, corn, wheat, rice or beans. |
