The invention discloses a boiling-stable granular resistant starch product which may comprise over 60% resistant starch as determined by the TDF method. The starch is made by subjecting a starch source to acid hydrolysis, followed by a hydrothermal treatment which is preferably heat-moisture treatment. The boiling-stable granular resistant starch product may be used in fromulating low-fat, high-fiber food products, as a tabletting aid, and as an inhibitor of excessive ice crystal formation in frozen products. |
