Title:
【発明の名称】低カロリー穀粉代用物としての表面変性セルロース
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001521723
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Cellulose is surface-modified by coating and/or acylation with C2 to C24, in some cases primarily C6 to C22, or more narrowly C16 to C20, aliphatic acids, to obtain cellulose esters exhibiting a degree of substitution of about 0.05 or less, preferably about 0.01 or less. The surface-modified cellulose is used as a low-calorie carbohydrate replacement in edible compositions having a carbohydrate component. Baked food products such as cookies employ the low-calorie ingredient in place of a starch ingredient in some preferred embodiments. In some of these embodiments, cookies formulated with surface-modified cellulose further contain a spreading ingredient such as polydextrose; in these, the cellulose esters help to control the spread as well as provide calorie reduction. In these and other embodiments, the food products can also contain reduced fat or a low calorie fat substitute and/or an artificial sweetener to provide further calorie reduction.
