PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A BASE PRODUCT FOR THICKENED SAUCES AND SOUPS WHICH DISPERSES IN HOT WATER WITHOUT FORMING LUMPS

摘要

A process for the preparation of dehydrated base products for thickened soups and sauces which disperse readily in hot water and form thick, creamy, lump-free products. The product is prepared by combining a starchy material with an edible fat into a homogeneous mixture. Water is added to the mixture which may also contain milk proteins. The mixture is then subjected to heat treatment, cooled and grated. Optionally the homogeneous mixture is heated under elevated pressure.
