Title: Alcohol-containing dextrin powder

Abstract: Flowable dextrin powders containing about 30 to 60% ethanol sorbed therein are prepared by sorption of an aqueous alcohol solution with particulates of expanded dextrin having a bulk density of from about 0.05 to about 0.30 grams/cubic centimeter, a dextrose equivalent of from about 5 to 15 and a moisture content of about 2% to 6%. The powders are stable when hermetically packaged and are particularly qualified as alcoholic beverage forming compositions and flavoring materials since the powders readily dissolve in cold water to form clear, low-viscosity, colorless liquids.
