ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a fiber-containing edible product and a method of making such a product. The edible product contains microparticulated fiber derived from a fiber source preferably having an insoluble fiber content of at least about 2.5%, hydrocolloid in an amount sufficient to maintain the fiber in suspension when the product is mixed with liquid to make an edible composition, and, except where a pudding-like consistency is desired, potable acid in an amount sufficient to lower the pH of the edible composition to a pH sufficient to avoid gelatinization of the composition. The edible product preferably contains sweetener and additional natural flavoring. The method of making fiber-containing edible product comprises adding to a volume of liquid less than the total predetermined volume finely ground fiber to create a mixture, hydrating the fiber, adding additional liquid and hydrocolloid, treating the mixture to create microparticulated fiber, hydrate the hydrocolloid and create a homogenized mixture and acidifying the mixture to a pH sufficient to avoid gelatinization of the mixture.
