Abstract
A process for reducing the caloric content of edible items such as coconut is disclosed wherein substantially all of the fat is removed by a solvent and subsequent removal of soluble polysaccharides may be accomplished by washing the defatted item in water. The described process, causes the caloric content of the item to be reduced by approximately 100%. The process is used with edible items containing fat and/or sugar selected from the group consisting of the edible meat of nuts, the edible seeds of grain, and the edible seeds of fruits. Coconut, treated by the aforesaid process, is used in the manufacture of candy or other foods having a reduced caloric content. The other defatted edible items may be similarly used in the manufacture of candy or other foods having a reduced caloric content.
