ACIDIC,AQUEOUS,EDIBLE DISPERSION PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME,AND USE THEREOF FOR FOOD PURPOSES

摘要

The present invention is directed to an acidic, aqueous dispersion containing at least one thickener. The dispersion may be used either directly as or as a base for a viscous additive to pastry, storage-stable and nonsegregating food mixtures. It contains at least one edible acid and has a pH from about 2.5 to 6.7. At least one of the thickeners contained in the dispersion consists of amorphous and/or microcrystalline glutamic acid in a concentration of about 6 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the dispersion. Methods of preparing and using the dispersion are also disclosed.
