Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a modified starch to increase the dietary fiber content of food compositions processed under harsh conditions. By using certain modified starches, food formulations may be harshly processed while retaining substantial dietary fiber. Further, such modified starches provide dietary fiber without the negative effects on textural or organoleptic properties of the food compositions which are typically associated with the addition of other dietary fiber sources.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a free flowing powdered blend of a polysaccharide and a crystalline polyol for use as an edible adhesive for particulate materials such as seasonings and flavorings. The powdered adhesive blend can easily be mixed with seasonings or flavorings and will melt during a heating process to a sticky viscose liquid capable of adhering seasoning particles to the food substrate. The blends of the present invention have the benefits of being easy to prepare, use and store as they will stay a free flowing powder under most ambient conditions.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to a food grade, hot-melt adhesive which may be prepared by blending and melting a starch with a plasticizer and optionally adding a moisture resistant agent. Upon cooling, the solid mass can be aground into a free-flowing powder. The hot melt composition may then be used to apply any of a variety of particulate additives, such as flavoring and coloring agents, to food stuffs by the application of low heat.

Abstract: A paper sizing and coating composition suitable for use in food packaging that is effective over a range of atmospheric conditions. The composition includes a starch and a water-soluble protein having a bloom strength of at least about 150. The composition can be applied over a paper substrate to improved oil and grease resistance.

Abstract: Corrugating adhesives comprising a starch, an alkali, water and a surfactant allow the user to control the amount of adhesive applied, minimize warpage of the final corrugated board and allows equipment to run faster and in a more efficient manner.

Abstract: Coating type compositions and methods for preparing and using the coating composition, as well as food service articles manufactured with the coating. The coating provides a water and oil resistant barrier when applied to the food service article, and is biodegradable.

Abstract: Starch lactide derivatives and the preparation of such derivatives wherein starch is reacted with lactide in an aqueous caustic media. Another embodiment involves the extrusion of the starch lactide derivatives to form starch based foam products having increased flexibility, strength and compatibility.

Abstract: An aqueous adhesive composition with good release properties comprising a water based adhesive and a metal activated dicarboxylic acid anhydride starch derivative as release agent. This adhesive composition is useful in forming coreless paper rolls.

Abstract: A paper coating comprising a hydrophobically modified starch having an amylose content of less than about 40% by weight. The coating provides the paper product with oil and grease resistant properties.

Abstract: A paper coating composition providing good barrier properties comprising a blend of hydrophobically modified high amylose starch and polyvinyl alcohol.

Abstract: Cationic polysaccharide derivatives are prepared by reacting a polysaccharide with a polycationic reagent having one polysaccharide reactive group and at least two cationic groups. Suitable reagents include polycationic alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclic amines, some of which are novel compositions. The polycationic polysaccharide derivatives prepared from these reagents are useful in the manufacture of paper.
