The method for making a reduced fat foodstuff entails replacing at least a portion of the fat and/or oil in the foodstuff with an aqueous dispersion of a hydroxypropylated starch having a degree of substitution of above 0.04 and an apparent amylose content of about 40%. A high amylose corn starch is the preferred starch base. a paste made from the dispersion is translucent and tends not to retrograde.

Method for making a reduced fat foodstuff

A novel starch used in a size composition is disclosed. The novel starch is a quaternary ammonium ether and acyl ester of starch which has a DS of quaternary ammonium ether of between 0.02 to 0.2 and a DS of acyl ester of between 0.01 to 0.3. The size composition is made from the novel starch and polyvinyl alcohol in a ratio of starch: polyvinyl alcohol of between 1:9 to 10:0. The method of making the size composition and the method of applying the size composition to the yarn is disclosed.

Textile size

An improved size composition of a modified starch and polyvinyl alcohol especially useful as a textile size is disclosed. The modified starch is a hydroxyalkyl and tertiary amino alkyl starch with a D.S. of aminoalkyl groups between 0.02 to 0.30 and a M.S. of hydroxypropyl groups between 0.02 and 0.50. The ratio of polyvinyl alcohol: modified starch in the size composition varies between 1:9 and 9:1. The method of applying the size composition to yarn and the method of making the size composition are also disclosed. High amylose starch, as compared to common or waxy, is the preferred starch.

Use of improved starch-polyvinyl alcohol composition as a textile size

An improved method for extracting oil from oil-bearing vegetable materials is disclosed. The method comprises forming a particulate vegetable material containing between about 20% and about 55% water by weight, drying the particulate vegetable material to a moisture content of less than about 15% by weight and then extracting the dried material with an oil solvent.
