Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to instantized products having thickening and/or flavoring and/or like properties which are for example useful in the production of foods and culinary preparations of the instantized type. The instantized products are prepared by incorporation of gelatin or other hydrophilic colloid to provide networks or paths whereby hot or cold aqueous liquid can readily penetrate throughout the product.
