A process for producing colorless, odorless and tasteless cassia endosperm flour is revealed in which the endosperm is extracted at least once, either in a whole or comminuted state, with a mixture of (a) water, and (b) alkanol and/or acetone.

Process for producing colorless, odorless and tasteless cassia endosperm

The invention relates to new alkyl ethers and phosphoric acid esters of Cassia tora polygalactomannans and their use, alone or in combination with other thickening agents, as thickening agents.

Derivatives of cassia tora polysaccarides and their use

Method for preparation of dispersible, water-soluble polygalactomannans and polyglactomannan derivatives by crosslinking with borate ions, in which the polygalactomannan-containing endosperm of legumes is allowed to soak in an aqueous alkaline solution of a material containing borate ions in which the concentration of the borate ions, expressed as borax, is between 0.001 and 0.09 wt. % and the hydroxyl ion concentration, expressed as NaOH, is between 0.2 and 10 wt. % of the polygalactomannan and after taking up the solution, the cell structure of the splits is mechanically destroyed using high shear forces in a flaking, crushing or extruder process and then the product of the process is dried and ground in known fashion.
