Abstract
A cellulase hydrolysate of tamarind polysaccharide is utilized as a substitute for a portion of metabolizable carbohydrates in processed foods to prepare reduced-calorie versions of said process foods having excellent organoleptic quality. The tamarind hydrolysate comprises DP 7 oligosaccharides, more typically, DP 7 and DP 9 oligosaccharides. The tamarind hydrolysate can be further processed utilizing yeast digestion and/or membrane filtration to remove monosaccharides and low DP (DP.ltoreq.6) oligosaccharides from the hydrolysate composition.
