Abstract

Novel dried compositions containing polysaccharides (dextrans and levans) derived using a Leuconostoc to ferment sucrose to produce the polysaccharides are described. In particular, dried compositions incorporating milk solids or other drying aids to facilitate drying and rehydration of the polysaccharides are described. The compositions are useful as quality (e.g. texture, stability or thickness) improvers for foods.
