The present invention relates to a starch composition with high total dietary fiber (TDF) that retains its TDF upon processing. In particular, over 50% of such fiber is retained upon extrusion processing. Such starch is useful in the manufacture of high fiber food products, including extruded products such as breakfast cereals and snacks.

Process tolerant starch composition with high total dietary fiber content

This invention relates to a composition comprising physically modified, partially pregelatinized starch, which is useful as a multi-functional excipient for solid dosage forms, a method of making such composition, and solid dosage forms prepared using the composition. Such composition is characterized by a predominance of particles having both birefringent and non-birefringent portions, a sedimentation volume of between 1.5 and 9 ml/g, and a cold water solubility of between 1 and 8%. This free-flowing starch may have an average particle size greater than 30 &#x3bc;m, and a moisture content of between 5 and 12% by weight. The 500 mg placebo tablet prepared from such composition at 13 kN using a manual tablet press equipped with a 1.11 cm ( 7/16&#x2033;) standard concave punches has a crushing strength of at least 160 Newtons, and a disintegration time of no more than 10 minutes.

Tablet excipient

The present invention is directed to the use of starch phosphate esters as an expansion and/or texture aid in food or industrial products. The invention further provides the formulations and improved expanded products containing starch phosphate esters, particularly extruded breakfast cereals and snacks.

Starch phosphate ester for use as an expansion aid

The present invention is directed to a process of preparing starch phosphate monoesters, optionally in the presence of oligosaccharides, having improved reaction efficiency and reduced side reactions. The invention also includes the improved starch phosphate monoester products, characterized by high viscosity and low level of residual salts, their use in food and the enhanced food compositions prepared from them.

Starch phosphate ester composition, process and method of use in food

Paper having improved retention properties made by the addition to the papermaking system of a combination of cationic starch and starch phosphate, the starch combination having a select net zeta potential.

Starch polymer combinations used in papermaking

The use in papermaking of an amphoteric starch additive which contains a phosphate functional group and is made under anhydrous conditions while in a fluidized state, provides advantageous paper properties and improved wet end performance.
