Saccharide-based matrix
First Claim
1. An edible product comprising a substantially solid saccharide-based matrix resulting from a feedstock comprising a mixture of maltodextrin and an oleaginous material being subjected to conditions of force and temperature which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said matrix possesses physically or chemically altered structure from said feedstock.

Abstract
The present invention is a saccharide-based matrix, and the products resulting therefrom, made from a maltodextrin feedstock subjected to conditions which induce flash flow of the maltodextrin so that the matrix possesses a physically or chemically altered structure from the feedstock. The present invention also includes a method of producing the matrix and of making products which take advantage of the unique properties of the matrix.

- 1. An edible product comprising a substantially solid saccharide-based matrix resulting from a feedstock comprising a mixture of maltodextrin and an oleaginous material being subjected to conditions of force and temperature which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said matrix possesses physically or chemically altered structure from said feedstock.
- 6. A method of preparing a substantially solid saccharide-based matrix comprising subjecting a feedstock comprising a mixture of solid maltodextrin and an oleaginous material to conditions of force and temperature which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said matrix possesses physically or chemically altered structure from said feedstock which provides enhanced and uniform dispersibility properties to said oleaginous material.
- 9. A method of retaining oleaginous material in baked goods comprising incorporating into said baked goods an oleaginous bearing saccharide-based matrix formed by subjecting a feedstock comprising maltodextrin and an oleaginous material to conditions of force and temperature which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said feedstock has undergone intraparticle flow and said matrix possesses a physically or chemically altered structure from said feedstock.
- 14. An edible product comprising a saccharide-based matrix resulting from a maltodextrin feedstock comprising an oleaginous substance and an emulsifier being subjected to conditions which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said matrix possesses physically or chemically altered structure from said feedstock.
- 16. A saccharide-based substantially solid matrix formed by the process comprising subjecting a feedstock comprising solid maltodextrin and an oleaginous material to conditions of force and temperature which induce flash flow of said feedstock whereby said feedstock undergoes intraparticle flow and whereby said matrix possesses physically and/or chemically altered structure from said feedstock which provides enhanced and uniform dispersibility of said oleaginous material.
