Abstract
The invention is a composite food subsystem that provides a sweet or savory flavored thermostable filling having an ultra-low water activity. The thermostable filling is, also, thixotropic or "shear thinning". The filling includes an edible hydrophilic liquid phase. A stabilizing network of ultrahigh surface area cellulose particulates are dispersed and reactivated in the hydrophilic livid phase. A solid phase admixture can be added as a fine powder. The thermostable filling is desirable for use in methods for making co-extruded or co-laminated products of multi-textures.
