Abstract:
1. A flowable or spoonable medicament, food, food ingredient or food supplement comprising (a) one or more mono-, di- and/or oligosaccharides and (b) a methylcellulose, wherein the methylcellulose has anhydroglucose units joined by 1-4 linkages wherein hydroxy groups of anhydroglucose units are substituted with methyl groups such that s23/s26 is from 0.17 to 0.36, wherein s23 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 3-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups and wherein s26 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 6-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups wherein the methylcellulose has a viscosity of from 200 to 10,000 mPa·s, measured as 2 wt. % aqueous solution at 5° C. at a shear rate of 10 s wherein the weight ratio of (a) the total of one or more mono-, di- and/or oligosaccharides and (b) the methylcellulose is from 2.0:1.0 to 20:1.0.
