DRY CLOUDING AGENT AND DRY BEVERAGE MIX INCLUDING IT

摘要

This invention relates to a clouding agent obtained by drying an aqueous dispersion comprised of, on a dry basis, a major amount of malto dextrin (in solution) and minor amounts of xanthan gum and titanium dioxide. The clouding agent thus obtained is added to a dry beverage mix in amounts effective to produce the desired opacity and remain suspended for a time sufficient to consume a beverage prepared from the dry mix.
