  • Water-dispersible compositions for food applications
    Patent number: 10694765
    Abstract: A method of making a water-dispersible composition comprises coprocessing a microcrystalline cellulose wetcake and at least one starch by co-attrition to form an admixture comprising colloidal microcrystalline cellulose and said at least one starch. The admixture is subsequently dried. Optionally, the admixture may be combined with an additional hydrocolloid, such as a galactomannan, before or after drying. A dried colloidal microcrystalline cellulose composition may then be dispersed in an aqueous media to form the food/beverage product. In particular, the composition may be dispersed in an aqueous media containing, for example, a protein to form a low pH beverage composition.

  • CELLULOSE-BASED POWDERED FIBER SUPPLEMENTS AND METHODS OF PREPARING SAME
    Publication number: 20190239549
    Abstract: Consumption of dietary fiber supplements can be unpleasant due to the perception of grittiness, sliminess, and/or sharpness of the supplement when consumed. The present invention describes a composition suitable for use in a dietary fiber supplement, the composition comprising (i) a water insoluble fiber (insoluble fiber) and (ii) a hydrocolloid combined in a ratio that provides a surprisingly palatable mixture in water.
