Patent number: 7955439Abstract: A process for producing an enzyme-resistant starch uses an aqueous feed composition that comprises (i) starch that contains at least about 50% by weight amylose, (ii) water, and (iii) alcohol. The concentration of starch in the feed composition is between about 5% and about 50% by weight, and the pH of the feed composition is between about 3.5 and about 6.5. In a first heating step, the feed composition is heated to a temperature between about 130-170° C. for about 0.1-3.0 hours. The feed composition is cooled to a temperature between about 4-70° C. for about 0.1-6.0 hours. In a second heating step, the feed composition is heated to a temperature between about 110-150° C. for about 0.1-10.0 hours. The starch is separated from the majority of the water and alcohol and is dried.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLCInventors: Keith D.

Patent number: 5409726Abstract: A method of preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a fragmented starch hydrolysate. A granular starch hydrolysate or a debranched amylopectin starch precipitate is fragmented to form an aqueous dispersion that is useful in replacing fat in a variety of food formulations. A wet blend of the fragmented starch hydrolysate and a hydrophilic agent is dried. The dry blend can be easily redispersed in water to form a particle gel useful in replacing fat and/or oil in a food formulation.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1992Date of Patent: April 25, 1995Assignee: A.

Patent number: 5387426Abstract: A method of preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a retrograded, hydrolyzed, heat-treated, and fragmented, amylose starch. Amylose is precipitated and hydrolyzed with acid or .alpha.-amylase, solubles are removed by a heat treatment and the resulting solids are then fragmented to form an aqueous dispersion that is useful in replacing fat in a variety of food formulations. The amylose can be derived from a native starch which contains amylose, e.g. common corn starch and high amylose corn starch, by gelatinizing the starch followed by precipitation of the amylose.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1992Date of Patent: February 7, 1995Assignee: A.E.

Patent number: 5378491Abstract: A method or preparing reduced fat foods is provided which employs a fragmented, granular amylose starch having a melting onset temperature (as measured by differential scanning calorimetry) of greater than about 70.degree. C. when measured at 20% starch hydrolysate solids. The fragmented, granular amylose starch hydrolysate is prepared by hydrolyzing a granular amylose starch in a strongly acidic aqueous slurry at a temperature greater than 70.degree. C. or by hydrolysis at a lower temperature followed by heating a slurry, after neutralization, to raise the melting onset temperature. Also provided are food formulations in which the fragmented, granular amylose starch hydrolysate is used to replace fat and aqueous dispersions of the fragmented, granular amylose starch hydrolysate which are useful therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1992Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: A.

Patent number: H1032Abstract: Processes for manufacturing starch copolymer compositions are provided. In one process, a modified starch is reacted with a hydrophilic vinyl monomer to produce a starch copolymer gel which is, in turn, divided in a plurality of gel fragments. The gel fragments are then dried with a stream of gel to produce a flowable, particulate starch copolymer composition. In another process, water is evaporated from the copolymer gel and further polymerization of vinyl monomers is inhibited during the evaporating by any of a variety of means such as reducing the level of residual vinyl monomer or avoiding conditions which initiate polymerization.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1990Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignee: A.
