Abstract
A modified dry dietary fiber product which is readily dispersible in liquids such as water, comprises a dry dietary fiber product coated with from 0.05 to 20% by weight of the food grade emulsifier. Process for producing coated dietary fiber products comprises blending these dietary fiber product materials with the mixture of a non-toxic solvent in a food grade emulsifier followed by removing the solvent.
Claims21
A coated dietary fiber which is readily dispersible in liquids without agglomeration comprising from about 80 to 99.95% by weight of at least one dietary fiber subject to agglomeration upon mixing with liquids, and from about 0.05 to 20% by weight of a food grade emulsifier wherein the emulsifier substantially coats the powder to prevent agglomeration when added to liquids.
A process for producing a modified dietary fiber which comprises mixing a dietary fiber subject to agglomeration upon mixing with liquids, with about 0.05 to 20% by weight of an emulsifier and about 0.5 to 40% of a non-toxic solvent;
- and removing the solvent to form a dry, free-flowing product.
A coated dietary fiber which is readily dispersible in liquids without agglomeration comprising from about 80 to 99.95% by weight of psyllium, and from about 0.05 to 20% by weight of a mixture of distilled propylene glycol monoglycerides, distilled monoglycerides and sodium stearyl lactylate, wherein said mixture substantially coats the psyllium to prevent agglomeration when added to liquids.
