Abstract
Process for sterilising a resistant starch composition comprising: (a) dispersing said resistant starch composition in oil; (b) heating the starch/oil dispersion obtained in step (a) to a target temperature of 100 to 175° C., preferably about 150° C.; and (c) cooling the starch/oil dispersion; sterilised resistant starch obtained by this process and uses thereof.
Claims31
Process for sterilising a resistant starch composition characterised in that it comprises the steps of:
- (a) dispersing said resistant starch composition in oil;
- (b) heating the starch/oil dispersion obtained in step (a) to a target temperature of 100 to 175° C.;
- and
- (c) cooling the starch/oil dispersion,
- provided that if the resistant starch composition is granulated potato starch, the oil will be other than rapeseed oil.
Method of producing a sterile nutritional, pharmaceutical or feed composition, characterised in that it comprises the steps of:
- (a) sterilising an oil dispersion comprising resistant starch and, optionally, one or more additional ingredients;
- (b) sterilising a water solution comprising one or more water-soluble ingredients;
- and
- (c) combining the sterilised dispersion of step (a) and the sterilised solution of step (b), provided that if the oil dispersion of step (a) is rapeseed oil dispersion, the resistant starch will be other than granulated potato resistant starch.
