| Summary: | A beverage powder which is able to progressively increase the viscosity of liquids. The beverage powder contains particles of a gelatinised cereal fraction containing -glucan. The particles have a particle size of less than about 350 m. When dissolved in liquid to provide a beverage having a -glucan concentration of about 0.4% to about 1.5% by weight, the beverage powder progressively increases the viscosity of the beverage such that, after about 15 minutes at room temperature, the beverage has a viscosity below about 350 mPa.s but which rapidly develops a final viscosity of above about 1000 mPa.s at body temperature. |
