Abstract

See full text

A process for reducing the oil binding capacity of a solid fibrous bulking agent is described in which a modified bulking agent is produced for use in making reduced calorie food products. The bulking agent is combined with an additive (e.g. sugar, protein or combination thereof) in water to form a mixture. The mixture is agitated to form a slurry thereby coating the bulking agent with the additive, and the slurry is dried. The resulting bulking agent has a reduced oil binding capacity so that the bulking agent may be used on food products containing natural oils or fats to reduce the calories per unit weight without adversely affecting the texture of the food product.
