1.


Products in the form of fine, white powder consisting of:
a mixture of native wheat starch and small quantities of acetylated wheat starch or very weakly acetylated wheat starch, and having the following characteristics:






—


starch content (determined by the Ewers method): 95 % or more by weight on the dry product,










—


acetyl content (determined by the enzymatic method): less than 0,5 % by weight on the dry product
