The invention provides a method for the manufacture of amylose-lipid complexes The method includes the steps of pasting a mixture of starch and a fatty acid until after the second biphasic peak viscosity is reached, hydrolysing the starch with a hydrolysing enzyme, and dispersing the hydrolysed starch and working up of the residue. The amylose-lipid complexes has nano-structure dimensions and can be used a fat replacer in foodstuffs.
