A novel starch-based texturizing agent, methods of manufacture and food formulations containing the texturizing agent. The texturizing agent comprises an insoluble microparticle (e.g., titanium dioxide), a gum (e.g., xanthan gum) and starch (e.g., pregelatinized starch) in the form of a complex in which the insoluble microparticle has been stabilized or entrapped therein. The texturizing agent can be used in low fat and fat-free foods, including mayonnaise, edible spreads such as margarines, salad dressing, mousse, cottage cheese dressing, sour cream, ice cream, yogurt and cream cheese.
