Abstract
Starch and a minor amount of natural gum additive are processed together so that the polysaccharide components of each substance are completely dissolved in water, and the resulting blend is recovered. Upon drying, the blend produces a product which hydrates rapidly and which yields dispersions that are not only smooth and viscous, but also possess considerable lubricity. These products are useful in foods as thickening agents, suspending agents, and fat substitutes.
