Abstract
Powdered cellulose is treated by combining it with a flavoring agent and from 25 to 75 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of powdered cellulose, which is an amount of water sufficient to wet substantially all of the cellulose, mixing the whole and then heating the mixture to remove most of the water from the treated cellulose. A gelling agent also advantageously is combined with the powdered cellulose, flavoring agent and water before mixing the whole and then removing the water.
