Abstract: The present invention is directed to sago fluidity starch and the use thereof. Such fluidity starches exhibit exceptionally fast gelling properties, high gel strengths, and exceptional elasticity. These properties allow for significantly reduced processing times, including reduced hold times. Further, the higher gel strength allows for reduced starch levels without loss of final product gel strength integrity or texture.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a dry, sweetened, extruded, ready to eat flaked or puffed cereal. Cereal flours, sweeteners such as sugars and/or syrups, and other cereal ingredients are formulated with added water and about 4-28%, preferably 5-15% of selected pregelatinized spray-dried starches having an amylose content of at least about 70% or up to 25% of a preextruded fully dispersed high amylose flour having an amylose content of at least about 70%. The pregelatinized high amylose starch may be unmodified or converted and in granular or non-granular form. The cereal is extruded at a temperature of about 120-160° C. and a pressure of about 100 to 500 psi.
