Abstract
A fat simulating composition is composed of a substantial portion of elongated, irregularly shaped carbohydrate gel particles having a longest axial dimension of up to 250 microns with a mean volume diameter ranging from about 10 microns to about 100 microns; the particles are in a hydrated state so as to have the substantially smooth organoleptic character of an oil emulsion. This fat simulating product is substituted in foods for all or a portion of the fat and/or oil used in that food product.
