Method of preparing reduced fat foods, using starch hydrolysate

摘要

A method of preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a fragmented starch hydrolysate. A granular starch hydrolysate or a debranched amylopectin starch precipitate is fragmented to form an aqueous dispersion that is useful in replacing fat in a variety of food formulations. A wet blend of the fragmented starch hydrolysate and a hydrophilic agent is dried. The dry blend can be easily redispersed in water to form a particle gel useful in replacing fat and/or oil in a food formulation.
