Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9803087A1] A process for producing a food thickening agent comprises the steps of providing a starch material, mixing the starch material with a fat and solidifying the mixture to form a food thickening agent. The starch material is a dried, heat treated and/or pre-cooked starch material and the fat is selected from those fats which exhibit a steep melting curve, non-polymorphic or monomorphic fats, fats which are essentially homogeneous, and fats which do not contain significant amounts of liquid fat at about 25 DEG C.
