Abstract
A reduced energy method produces highly refined cellulose particles from fruit or vegetable mass by providing an initial cellulose mass of particles containing moisture having number average particle diameter of between 0.25 and 1.9 cm and having a moisture content of less than 80% water for the cellulose mass, heating the cellulose mass to between 170 F to less than 212 F to swell and internally shear fiber structure to produce a highly refined cellulose fiber mass having a total dietary fiber (TDF) content greater than 15% as measured by AOAC 991.43 and a water holding capacity greater than three parts water per part fiber as measured by AACC 56-30.
