This invention pertains to low swelling starches and their use as food texture modifiers. The invention further pertains to the method of using low swelling starches as fat substitutes in foods. The low swelling starches provide opacity, mouth-coating, and creaminess to foods.

Provided herein is a joint compound having a composition to allow tools to easily clean up, comprising water, at least one inert filler, and a binder comprising a sulfonated starch, and a method of preparing the joint compound.

A low protein yogurt composition is provided comprising water, at least one dairy ingredient and a crosslinked waxy starch, wherein the crosslinked waxy starch is crosslinked with phosphate groups and has a peak Brabender viscosity of from about 600 to about 1500 Brabender units, and the cross-linked waxy starch is present in an amount sufficient to add viscosity to the yogurt. The crosslinked waxy starch can also be stabilized by acetylation to obtain longer shelf life.

This invention pertains to low swelling starches and their use as food texture modifiers. The invention further pertains to the method of using low swelling starches as fat substitutes in foods. The low swelling starches provide opacity, mouth-coating, and creaminess to foods.

The present invention relates to a dialysis solution having at least one osmotic agent, wherein the osmotic agent is starch propylphosphonate.

A material system and method for bonding refractory powders in a three dimensional printer. A first particulate component including a refractory material is mixed with a first reactive component to form a particulate mixture. A flat layer of the particulate mixture is dispensed onto a build surface. A liquid binder, which may include a furan monomer and a surfactant, is dispensed by an ink-jet printhead onto the particulate mixture. The particulate mixture may contain a furan-soluble polymer that imposes a capillary attraction for the liquid binder, keeping it situated in the immediate vicinity of where the binder is dispensed. Additionally it provides a sufficient catalytic power to co-polymerize with the furan monomer and form a solid structure. This enables a 3D printer to build strong, accurate parts with high packing density, and to reuse the feed material many times in the printer.
