Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising citrus fruit fiber having a water binding capacity of from 8 to 25 (w/w) and native starch selected from the group consisting of corn starch, rice flour, sorghum starch, tapioca starch and mixture thereof.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A composition suitable to substitute chemically modified starch consisting of:
citrus fruit fiber having a water binding capacity of from 7 to 25 grams of water per gram of fiber; and
native starch selected from the group consisting of corn starch, rice flour, sorghum starch, tapioca starch, waxy wheat flour, amylase free potato starch and mixtures thereof
wherein the weight ratio of citrus fruit fiber to native starch is in a range of from 1:5 and 1:1.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the citrus fruit fiber is obtainable from citrus fruit selected from the group consisting of oranges, tangerines, limes, lemons, and grapefruit.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the citrus fruit fiber has a total dietary fiber content of from 60 to 85-wt %.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the citrus fruit fiber comprises from 8 to 12% (w/w) proteins.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the native starch is a waxy starch.

6. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the native starch is glutinous rice flour.

7. A food application, feed application, pharmaceutical product and/or cosmetic comprising the composition according to claim 1 .

8. A beverage comprising the composition according to claim 1 .

9. A sauce comprising the composition according to claim 1 .

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of citrus fruit fiber to native starch is in a range of from 1:5 and 1:2.

11. A composition suitable to substitute chemically modified starch consisting of:
citrus fruit fiber; and
native starch selected from the group consisting of corn starch, rice flour, sorghum starch, tapioca starch, waxy wheat flour, amylase-free potato starch and mixtures thereof,
wherein the citrus fruit fiber is fiber extracted from citrus vesicles which has a water-binding capacity of 7 to 25 grams of water per gram of fiber and a total dietary fiber content of 60 to 85 wt %, the total dietary fiber consisting of 45 to 50% soluble dietary fiber and 50 to 55% insoluble dietary fiber.

12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the weight ratio of citrus fruit fiber to native starch is in a range of from 1:5 and 1:1.

13. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the citrus fruit fiber is obtainable from citrus fruit selected from the group consisting of oranges, tangerines, limes, lemons and grapefruit.

14. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the citrus fruit fiber comprises from 8 to 12% (w/w) proteins.

15. The composition of claim 11 , wherein native starch is a waxy starch.

16. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the native starch is glutinous rice flour.
