Abstract
The present invention is directed to the use of a hydrocolloid composition, particularly a starch composition, which is useful as a viscosifier and/or a stabilizer in food products, particularly cultured dairy products, to products containing such hydrocolloid composition, and to the method of preparing such products. The present invention is also directed to the replacement of at least a portion of the gelatin, gum, and/or non-fat milk solids present in food products with such composition without losing the organoleptic and structural properties of the product.
