Abstract

The present invention is directed to an acidic, aqueous dispersion containing at least one thickener. The dispersion may be used either directly as or as a base for a viscous additive to pastry, storage-stable and nonsegregating food mixtures. It contains at least one edible acid and has a pH from about 2.5 to 6.7. At least one of the thickeners contained in the dispersion consists of amorphous and/or microcrystalline glutamic acid in a concentration of about 6 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the dispersion. Methods of preparing and using the dispersion are also disclosed.
