Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition of starch and an active material which will function to form a tablet when subjected to compression forces. The advantages of this invention are ease of use and handling, improved storage and pot life, and low reducing sugars. These starch binder materials will find application in areas such as pharmaceuticals, detergents and agricultural products and are characterized by their rheological properties.

Abstract:
Corrugating adhesive compositions comprising soluble high amylose starch as the carrier starch may be prepared as a one-piece, dry mixture that can be dispersed in water at 25.degree. to 55.degree. C. and applied to paperboard without further preparation steps. The corrugating adhesives may be prepared without alkali, and used at any pH.
Abstract:
The present invention provides foods containing soluble high amylose starch selected from: (i) spray-dried, non-granular starch, characterized in that the starch is substantially non-crystalline, substantially nonretrograded, and fully predispersed; (ii) spray-dried, uniformly gelatinized starch in the form of granular indented spheres, with at least a majority of the granules being whole and unbroken, the starch granules being in the form of loosely-bound agglomerates or individual granules; (iii) enzymatically debranched gelatinized starch, comprising at least 40% amylose; and (iv) mixtures thereof.The foods prepared with soluble high amylose starch are characterized by one or more of the following beneficial properties: stronger gels, improved appearance, improved adhesion, air-, oil- and/or water-impermeable surfaces; and improved textures. These foods are easier to prepare when they contain the soluble high amylose starches herein, since these starches, in contrast to high amylose starches used in the same foods under normal preparation temperatures, can be completely and thoroughly dispersed in the food formulation using hot or cold water, without chemical modification of the starch.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a blend of a physically induced starch hydrolysate, a plasticizer, and a gelling agent. Such blend produces an excellent film with low brittleness. Further, essentially gelatin-free hard capsules may be made with such blends.
Abstract:
A steam-stripping process suitable for the removal of impurities from polysaccharides, including soluble starch hydrolysates, is disclosed herein. This process may be used in combination with other purification processes, such as ultrafiltration, ion exchange, treatment with activated carbon, as well as bleaching process. Soluble starch hydrolysates may also be purified by a combination of ultrafiltration or activated carbon treatment and bleaching. In these processes, the polysaccharide or the soluble starch hydrolysate produced is bland in flavor, free of off-odor, optionally, lighter or white in color and suitable for use in systems requiring these characteristics. Other purification process combinations which are disclosed for removal of undesirable flavors, odors and/or colors from polysaccharides include: 1) ultrafiltration and carbon treatment; 2) ultrafiltration and steam-stripping; 3) steam-stripping and carbon treatment; 4) ion exchange treatment and ultrafiltration; 5) ion exchange treatment and steam-stripping; and 6) ion exchange treatment and carbon treatment. A bleaching process may precede any of these processes. If ozone or a peroxide is employed, the bleaching step may follow any of these processes. Any of the processes may be combined with other processes disclosed herein to provide additional purification measures. The processes are particularly useful for purification of low molecular weight soluble polysaccharide hydrolysates, such as dextrins. These purified polysaccharides are used in improved foods, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and like products.
Abstract:
An edible plastic dispersion not having a continuous fat phase, including at least two condensed phases, at least one of which is continuous, the dispersion comprising a first gel-forming composition and a second gel-forming composition containing 1-8 times the critical concentrations of a gelling starch having a rheological property in an aqueous dispersion characterized by a one-half G'.sub.max value at no more than about 7,250 seconds when prepared at a concentration to yield a log G'.sub.max value of 5.0 at 15,000 seconds at 11.degree. C. provided that the aqueous dispersion of the gelling starch is initially prepared at 0 to 40.degree. C.
