Abstract
Small granule starches are subjected to partial hydrolysis with alpha-amylase or glucoamylase to produce a novel granular starch composition having an enzymatically hydrolyzed surface appearing diffuse and substantially non-porous under microscopic examination and exhibiting crystallinity characteristic of the corresponding native starch granules. The partially hydrolyzed granular starch exhibits fat mimic characteristics for use in reduced calorie processed foods.
