N1 - Claims(WO17207259A1): [EN] Claims 1. A particulate instant food product comprising 1 -99 weight percent of texturizing particles having a diameter in the range of 0.5-5,000 micrometer and comprising: • at least 3 weight percent of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC); • at least 20 weight percent of water-soluble filler; and • less than 12 weight percent water; wherein the MFC and the water-soluble filler together represent at least 40 weight percent of the texturizing particles. 2. Food product according to claim 1, wherein the food product contains 3-50 weight percent of salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride and combinations thereof. 3. Food product according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the food product is selected from instant soup, instant sauce, instant gravy and instant bouillon. 4. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the MFC originates from parenchymal tissue from fruits, roots, bulbs, tubers, seeds, stalks or a combination thereof. 5. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the water- soluble filler is selected from maltodextrin, sucrose, lactose, glucose, fructose, pectin, starch, salt, monosodium glutamate, sodium citrate and combinations thereof. 6. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the water- soluble filler is selected from maltodextrin, sucrose, lactose, glucose, fructose and combinations thereof. 7. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the texturizing particles contain at least 5 weight percent of MFC and at least 30 weight percent of water-soluble filler. 8. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the food product comprises 3-60 weight percent, more preferably 5-50 weight percent of the texturizing particles. 9. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the combination of MFC and water-soluble filler constitutes at least 50 weight percent, more preferably at least 70 weight percent of the texturizing particles. 10. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the MFC and the water-soluble filler form an intimate mixture within the texturizing particles. 1 1. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the texturizing particles have an average orientation of less than 4.2x10<sup>?</sup>-6. 12. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the food product contains at least 0.5 weight percent of texturizing particles having a diameter in the range of 0.5-50 micrometer 13. Food product according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the food product contains at least 1 weight percent of texturizing particles having a diameter of at least 50- 10,000 micrometer. 14. A process of preparing a particulate instant food product according to any one of the preceding claims, said process comprising: • providing texturizing particles having a diameter in the range of 0.5-5,000 micrometer and comprising at least 5 weight percent of MFC; at least 20 weight percent of water- soluble filler; and less than 12 percent water; wherein the MFC and the water-soluble filler together represent at least 40 weight percent of the texturizing particles; and • mixing the texturizing particles with one or more other particulate edible ingredients. 15. Use of a particulate instant food product according to any one of claims 1 -12 in the preparation of an aqueous foodstuff, said use comprising mixing 1 part by weight of said particulate instant food product with at least 2 parts by weight of aqueous liquid.
