Abstract
A composition suitable for use as a fat-like substitute in low-calorie, aqueous-based foodstuffs comprising dry, water-dispersible particles, said particles consisting of an agglomerate of microreticulated or microfibrillated microcrystalline cellulose in a predominant amount by weight, and a hydrocolloid selected from a carboxymethylcellulose and xanthan gum in an amount sufficient to provide effective coverage of the cellulose.
