Abstract:
A process for producing solid forms comprising the steps of:(1) forming an aqueous composition comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of low DE starch hydrolysate having a DE less than about 25 and a polydispersity index of less than about 5, chemically derivatized low DE starch hydrolysate having a DE less than about 25 and a polydispersity index of less than about 5, and hydrogenated low DE starch hydrolysate having a DE less than about 25 and a polydispersity index of less than about 5, and (2) drying said aqueous composition to a moisture content of less than about 10% to result in a substantially dry low DE starch hydrolysate composition, (3) shaping said dry low DE starch hydrolysate composition to result in a solid form.
