Abstract:
1. A diet product comprising a composition in the form of a reconstitutable powder comprising a calcium salt, at least one low viscosity alginate having a viscosity of less than 100 mPaS in a 1 wt % aqueous solution, and at least one high viscosity alginate having a viscosity of more than 100 mPaS in a 1 wt % aqueous solution, wherein the low viscosity alginate is selected to be one that does not form a gel in the presence of calcium ions at pH 7, wherein the calcium salt has a solubility of at least 5 mg per ml at 20° C. and pH 7, wherein the weight of the alginates in the aqueous diet product is between 0.5 wt % and 1.6 wt %, and wherein the powder is readily soluble in water to form an aqueous product.
