Starch hydrolysates having a D.P. of about 20 to 200 and a D.E. of about 0.5 to 5 are used as fat replacements in food. The starch hydrolysates are prepared by heating granular starch containing at least about 20 weight percent amylopectin in an acidic slurry of water and a water-miscible organic solvent such as ethanol. The slurry is heated under conditions which do not gelatinize the starch but cleave at least about 20 percent of the terminal amylose groups from the amylopectin molecules. |
