Abstract
A microcrystalline starch composition is prepared by disintegration of microporous starch granules produced by partial hydrolysis of granular starch. The composition finds use particularly as a fat substitute in reduced calorie foods. The starch composition is optionally treated with starch reactive cross-linking agents and/or other surface modifying agents to optimize its rheological properties and the organoleptic qualities of processed foods containing the microcrystalline starch composition.
