Abstract:
A stabilizer composition, useful for reduced fat frozen desserts and whipped toppings, containing, as a first component, microcrystalline cellulose coprocessed with guar and, as a second component, microcrystalline cellulose coprocessed with carboxymethylcellulose. The method of using the stabilizer composition provides reduced fat food products, particularly products with less than ten percent fat, with many of the desirable body and textural characteristics of full-fat products.
