Methods and compositions for the production of food compositions, oils, fuels, oleochemicals, and other compounds in recombinant microorganisms are provided, including oil-bearing microorganisms and methods of low cost cultivation of such microorganisms. Microalgal cells containing exogenous genes encoding, for example, a lipase, a sucrose transporter, a sucrose invertase, a fructokinase, a polysaccharide-degrading enzyme, a keto acyl-ACP synthase enzyme, a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase, a fatty acyl-CoA/aldehyde reductase, a fatty acyl-CoA reductase, a fatty aldehyde reductase, a fatty aldehyde decarbonylase, and/or an acyl carrier protein are useful in manufacturing food compositions, and transportation fuels such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, and renewable jet fuel, as well as oleochemicals such as functional fluids, surfactants, soaps and lubricants.

A process for preparing a water-in-oil emulsion which emulsion comprises oil and a hardstock fraction next to an aqueous phase. The process involves blending the melted hardstock fraction with a water-continuous dispersion comprising part or all of the oil and part or all of the aqueous phase and with a fat-continuous dispersion comprising the remainder of the oil and the remainder of the aqueous phase. The combined stream is mixed by a high shear mixer with short residence time.

Suggested is a delivery system for food additives, comprising or consisting of the following components: (a) at least one food additive dissolved in a solvent and (b) at least one emulsifier and/or at least one hydrocolloid dissolved in water,
characterized in that the delivery system is an oil-in-water emulsion.

The invention relates to a method of preparing an edible fat-continuous emulsion product such as a spread, comprising: 35-80 wt. % of an aqueous phase and 20-65 wt. % of a fat phase, wherein the fat phase comprises 8-15 wt. % of the total composition comprises plant sterol esters and wherein the product is essentially free of mono- or di fatty acid glyceride or other artificial emulsifier. The invention further relates to the spread that is essentially free of mono- or di fatty acid glyceride or other artificial emulsifier.

The present invention relates to cannabinoid compositions. These compositions can be encapsulated (e.g., microencapsulated). In particular, these compositions can be administered to a subject, such as through oral consumption or topical treatment.

The present invention concerns a food supplement comprising Salvia sclarea seeds, or flour, oil or pulp or extracts obtained from the seeds as well as finished food products comprising the food supplement. The present invention further concerns a nutraceutical or cosmetic preparation comprising as an active ingredient Salvia sclarea seeds, or flour, oil or pulp or extracts obtained from the seeds.
