Abstract
An edible suspension of a finely divided food material in a liquid suspending medium which swells cellulose, the suspension also containing microfibrillated cellulose in an amount sufficient to produce a stable, homogeneous suspension. The microfibrillated cellulose, a form of cellulose having a very large available surface area per unit of weight, acts to confer, among other benefits, greater stability on the suspension.
