Edible binders were developed which impart favorable physical properties including cohesiveness to compressed dry foods representing a broad range of chemical compositions. Further experimental effort yielded binders for compressed foods which can also be rehydrated to yield a familiar meal item, such as casseroles, creamed soups, puddings, thin soups and beverages. These binders do not significantly alter the storage stability of the basic food components.
