Fat Replacer
Fat Replacer is a product made by the Sausagemaker[emoji]8482[/emoji] in Buffalo, New York. It is made of Konjac flour (from a plant root), xanthan gum (fermented glucose), and microcrystalline cellulose (cellulose from plants). The first two ingredients are water soluble. Microcrystalline cellulose is not. Fat Replacer simulates the "creamy" mouthfeel of fat and can be used in everything from grilled burgers to dry-cured salami. It contains almost no calories and it’s affordable. A proven cholesterol fighter, it is USDA approved. One half pound will treat 60 pounds of meat.
