Package

The invention provide methods and materials for producing nutritious pet chews comprising an edible thermoplastic comprising from 45 to 80 wt. % starch selected from one or more potato and non-potato starches wherein said starch comprises at least 28% amylose as determined by size exclusion chromatography if less than 50% of said starch is potato starch or at least 20% amylose as determined by size exclusion chromatography if greater than or equal to 50% of said starch is potato starch; from 5 to 25 wt. % plasticizer; 2% to 15 wt % of a humectant and from 5 to 25 wt. % water.

High amylose dog chew formulation

Pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprising (a) a synthetic polymer latex; and (b) an aqueous dispersion of thinned, derivatized starch are disclosed.

Pressure sensitive adhesives

A method of treating hydrolyzate products of hydroxypropylated starch to remove low molecular weight off-flavor compounds is disclosed along with improved bulking agents produced by removal of off-flavor compounds and incorporation of low molecular weight hydrolyzate products.

Method of removing off-flavor components from hydroxypropyl starch

A hydrolyzate product of hydroxypropylated starch comprising greater than about 15% by weight DP 2-6 hydrolyzate polymers and characterized by a DE value of from about 20 to about 45 is disclosed which when combined with a high potency sweetener is useful as a reduced calorie replacement for sucrose and starch hydrolyzate products in food products.
