Abstract
A method of preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a recrystallized and fragmented amylose precipitate. A starch having both amylose and amylopectin is gelatinized to allow preparation of pure amylose as a permeate of membrane foltration. The amylose is precipitated, recrystallized and then fragmented to form an aqueous dispersion that is useful in replacing fat in a variety of food formulations. The amylose precipitate can be derived from a starch which contains amylose, e.g. common corn starch, by gelatinizing the starch followed by precipitation of the amylose separation.
