Abstract:
1. A method of increasing viscosity-increasing effects of an edible refined cellulose fiber comprising: providing an aqueous volume; adding to the aqueous volume from 0.5% to 20% by weight of edible refined cellulose fiber to form a first reagent composition; adding from 0.025% to 8% by volume of pectinase or pectinmethylesterase to the first reagent composition at a temperature of from 20° C. to 80° C.; allowing the enzyme to modify the refined cellulose fiber for at least 15 minutes to form a final liquid composition; and removing the modified refined cellulose from the final liquid composition; and removing liquid from the final liquid composition to produce a viscosity increasing highly refined cellulose mass.
