Abstract
Described herein are reconstituted soluble tapioca flour compositions having desirable chemical properties and solubility and viscosity functionality for use in food products such as, beverage mix, infant food, a medicinal product, an emulsion, convenience foods, or a snack-based filling. Such compositions can be used as a partial or complete replacement of maltodextrin and offer a more clean-label alternative.
Claims10
A reconstituted soluble tapioca flour comprising:
- (i) greater than 90 wt % to 98.15 wt % of a refined soluble tapioca flour, wherein the refined soluble tapioca flour has a particle size distribution after solubilization in 90° C. water wherein 90 % of particles have a size of 300 microns or less, 50% of particles have a particle size of 150 microns or less, and 10% of particles have a particle size of 40 microns or less based on wet/dispersed solubility in 90° C. water;
- and
- (ii) a milled fiber fraction of the soluble tapioca flour;
- wherein:
- a remaining balance of the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour being the milled fiber fraction of the soluble tapioca flour;
- the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour was first separated into a fiber fraction and the refined soluble tapioca flour, and secondly reconstituted by mixing the fiber fraction with the refined soluble tapioca flour;
- and
- the reconstituted soluble tapioca flour has a solubility of at least 5 wt % based on wet/dispersed solubility in 90° C. water.
