Salep, also spelled sahlep or sahlab, [note 1] is a flour made from the tubers of the orchid genus Orchis (including species Orchis mascula and Orchis militaris).These tubers contain a nutritious, starchy polysaccharide called glucomannan.
Glucomannan is a water-soluble polysaccharide that is considered a dietary fiber. It is a hemicellulose component in the cell walls of some plant species. Glucomannan is a food additive used as an emulsifier and thickener. It is a major source of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) found in nature, the other being galactomannan, which is insoluble. [1]
A suitably modified starch is used as a fat substitute for low-fat versions of traditionally fatty foods, [5] e.g. industrial milk-based desserts like yogurt [6] or reduced-fat hard salami [7] having about 1/3 the usual fat content. For the latter type of uses, it is an alternative to the product Olestra.

Baking Powder. For one 1 teaspoon of baking powder, use 1/4 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice and milk to total half a cup. Make sure to decrease the liquid in your recipe by ...
Yeast and some plants such as conjac and salep have a different type of mannans in their cell wall, with a α(1-6) linked backbone and α(1-2) and α(1-3) linked glucose branches, hence "glucomannan". It is water soluble. It is serologically similar to structures found on mammalian glycoproteins.
Sour Cream or Yogurt. For baking, sour cream or yogurt are easy 1:1 substitutes for half-and-half, though both are tangier. When cooking, however, yogurt and sour cream may separate over direct ...
