Abstract
A method of preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a fragmented, debranched amylopectin starch precipitate. A debranched amylopectin starch is precipitated and then fragmented to form an aqueous dispersion that is useful in replacing fat in a variety of food formulations. The debranched amylopectin starch can be derived from a starch which contains amylopectin, e.g. common corn starch and waxy maize starch, by gelatinizing the starch followed by treatment with a debranching enzyme, e.g. isoamylase or pullulanase and precipitation of the debranched starch.
