Abstract
The invention concerns the use, in dry form, of a combination of substantially amorphous microfibrils with a crystallinity index not more than 50%, with at least a polyhydroxylated compound, as additive for food formulations, the content of this combination being more than 0% and less than 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the food formulation.
Claims16
A process for the preparation of a food formulation comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a starting food or food formulation,
- b) mixing said starting food or food formulation with an amount greater than 0% and less than 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the food formulation, of a combination of amorphous cellulose microfibrils in dry form having a degree of crystallinity of less than or equal to 50%, with at least one polyhydroxylated compound, to obtain the food formulation, and
- c) recovering the obtained food formulation.
