COMPOSITION COMPRISING VEGETABLE OIL, A SOURCE OF ORGANIC ACIDS, PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS AND AMINO ACIDS
The objective of the present invention is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil, wherein the composition comprises a source of organic acids, one or more organic acids other than acetic acid, amino acids, and one or more phenolic compounds. More in particular the source of organic acids comprises organic acids other than acetic acid to total organic acids in the source of organic acids at a weight ratio ranging from 0.5% to 60%; and the weight ratio of one or more amino acids to total organic acids in the source of organic acid ranges from 0.03% to 20%.

Edible water-in-oil emulsions and a process for preparing such emulsions
The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an edible water-in-oil emulsion comprising 10 to 85 wt. % of liquid oil, 0.5 to 50 wt. % of hardstock fat, 10 to 85 wt. % of a dispersed water-phase; comprising the steps of: a) providing a first water-in-oil emulsion; b) providing a second water-in-oil emulsion; and c) mixing said first and second emulsion to provide a finished edible water-in-oil emulsion. The invention further relates to water-in-oil emulsions having a distinct water-phase release profile.
COMPOSITION CONTAINING OLEOSOMES OF DIFFERENT SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The present invention relates to a composition containing first oleosomes having a first distribution D50(1) and second oleosomes having a second size distribution D50(2).
ROLL-IN OIL AND FAT COMPOSITION
A roll-in oil and fat composition is prepared, in which 45 to 95% by weight of transesterified oils and fats, 5 to 25% by weight of a liquid oil, and less than 1% by weight of high-melting point oils and fats are contained in an oily phase, wherein the transesterified oils and fats have a lauric acid content of 5 to 25% by weight, a palmitic acid content of 5 to 25% by weight, and a stearic acid content of 10 to 35% by weight all relative to the total content of all of constituent fatty acids and have a stearic acid-to-palmitic acid weight ratio of 0.5 to 7, and the high-melting point oils and fats have an open-tubed melting point of higher than 45 C. Layered bakery food is produced using the roll-in oil and fat composition.
WATER-ENHANCING, FIRE-SUPPRESSING HYDROGELS
The present application provides water-enhancing, fire-suppressing hydrogels that are formulated to minimize toxicity and negative environmental impact. The present application provides a composition comprising: (i) at least one thickening agent; (ii) at least one liquid medium; and, optionally, (iii) one or more suspending agents, wherein the composition consists of >75%, by weight, consumer-grade components and wherein the composition is a concentrate that can be mixed with water or an aqueous solution to form a fire-suppressing, water-enhancing hydrogel. Each of the at least one thickening agent, suspending agent and liquid medium can be non-toxic and biodegradable. Also provided are the fire-suppressing, water-enhancing hydrogel and methods of production and use thereof during fire fighting or fire prevention.

Prepared foods having high efficacy omega-6/omega-3 balanced polyunsaturated fatty acids
A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long chain omega-3 oil as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition and diet systems.
CREAMY EDIBLE EMULSIONS
Provided are edible emulsions that can be used as smoothies, creamers, syrups or other products to be used in food or consumed directly. The emulsions contain relatively high amounts, such as 10%-50% by weight of a protein composition, such as one or more of nut butters, whey, and, optionally, collagen, and very low amounts of a surfactant, typically less than 2%, such as less than 1.5%. The resulting emulsions are stable and have large particles in the range of about 3 m, 4 m or 5 m to 10 m or 15 m. As a result, the emulsions have a creamy consistency.
