ABSTRACT This invention provides a fat-like carbohydrate, comprising 12 to 100%, by weight, short chain amylose, wherein the fat-like carbohydrate is used in foods in an amount effective to function as a replacement for up to 100%, by weight, of one or more fat(s) contained in foods. The short chain amylose may be prepared by the enzymatic debranching of starch, employing an enzyme which specifically degrades the alpha-1,6-D-glucosidic-linkages of the starch molecule. This invention also provides a method of replacing up to 100% of one or more fat(s) contained in foods, wherein the food containing the enzymatically debranched starch exhibits functional and organoleptic qualities equivalent to those of the food containing conventional amounts of fat. Also provided are foods containing the short chain amylose materials in place of fat, cream, oil, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions and other lipids which are conventional components of the foods. These foods include: ice cream, spoonable and pourable salad dressings, margarine, low-fat spreads, low-fat cheeses, baked goods, breaded foods, sauces, whipped toppings, icings, puddings and custards, mayonnaise and coffee whiteners.
