Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a starch composition with high total dietary fiber (TDF) that retains its TDF upon processing. In particular, over 50% of such fiber is retained upon extrusion processing. Such starch is useful in the manufacture of high fiber food products, including extruded products such as breakfast cereals and snacks.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A composition comprising: a starch which has been phosphorylated using sodium trimetaphosphate or a combination of sodium trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate and heat-moisture treated, in either order, wherein the phosphorylated, heat-moisture treated starch is granular, has at least an 80 absolute increase in total dietary fiber compared to the unmodified starch, and has a total dietary fiber content of a least 90% by weight; and a second ingredient appropriate for consumption. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the starch is a high amylose starch. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the starch contains from 0.1-0.4% residual phosphorus by weight of the starch. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has been extruded.
