[Subject Matter] Food Processing & Food Products [Docket] 57.06 + 209.02 [Title] MODIFIED ALTERNAN [Description] 
Four new Penicillium spp. isolates (NRRL 21996, NRRL 21967, NRRL 21968 and NRRL 21969) are capable of essentially quantitative conversion of native alternan to a polymeric modified form having a lower apparent molecular weight than native alternan. It would have utility as a substitute for gum arabic for uses such as bulking agents and extenders in foods and cosmetics. 209.02Four new Penicillium spp. isolates (NRRL 21966, NRRL 21967, NRRL 21968, and NRRL 21969) are capable of essentially quantitative conversion of native alternan to a polymeric modified form having a lower apparent molecular weight than native alternan. A fifth isolate (NRRL 30489) obtained from a survey of deposited organisms and classified as a Penicillium subgenus Biverticillium has the same ability.
