LOW-SWELLING STARCH Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C08B30/00 A23L1/522 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to starch with low swelling volume. The first object is inhibited starch having swelling volume of 7-12 ml/g and a soluble fraction of less than 20%. In order to measure the swelling volume thereof, a 5% starch suspension in 1% NaCl solution is prepared and heated on a boiling water bath at minimum temperature of 95°C for 20 minutes. The solution is then diluted to 1% and left to precipitate for 24 hours. If the starch is wax rice starch, the precipitation period is extended to 72 hours. The volume of the precipitated sample is recorded in millilitres. The second object is a food product composition which contains starch and at least an additional food component. The group of inventions also provides a method of producing the food product composition, which involves replacing at least a portion of fat usually used in said composition with starch. The fourth, fifth and sixth objects are use of the starch, respectively, in the food product composition to imitate the sensation of fat in the mouth when consuming said composition, in the food product composition to replace fat, and as autoclaved starch.

EFFECT: providing muddiness, encapsulation in the mouth and creaminess of food products.
