The present invention relates to low calorie fat substitute compositions that are useful as fat replacements in low calorie foods, and as pharmaceutical compositions. Sucrose fatty acid esters are preferred low calorie fat substitutes. The compositions are highly resistant to an undesirable laxative side effect. These benefits are achieved by formulating compositions comprising a liquid polyol fatty acid polyester, at least about 10% solid low calorie fat substitute by weight of the liquid polyester, and at least about 1% of a cohesive network of polysaccharide fibrils and microfibrils, for example microfibrillated cellulose, by weight of the liquid polyester. |
