FOOD COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING ESTERIFIED ALKOXYLATED POLYSACCHARIDE FAT SUBSTITUTES

摘要

A reduced calorie food composition including, as at least a part of the fat-type component, an esterified alkoxylated polysaccharide having at least 10 anhydromonosaccharide units, a plurality of oxyalkylene units covalently bonded to the anhydromonosaccharide units through ether linkages and a plurality of fatty acid acyl groups covalently bonded to oxyalkylene units through ester linkages. Also a fat composition comprising an edible fatty acid triglyceride and the esterified alkoxylated polysaccharide and a method of reducing the available calorific content of a food composition containing the triglyceride by replacing at least a portion thereof with the esterified alkoxylated polysaccharide.
