Abstract
Esterified polyoxyalkylene block copolymers are useful as reduced calorie fat substitutes in food compositions due to their resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis and absorption upon ingestion. The fat mimetics contain hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene inner blocks which tend to promote thickening or gelling of the composition when mixed with a minor amount of water, thereby lessening problems with anal leakage and short bowel transit times.
