An object of the present invention is to provide an oil and fat composition with unprecedentedly strong oxidative stability by using a simple method. The invention has been completed with the findings that an oil and fat composition shows an extremely strong oxidation stabilizing effect, the antioxidant oil and fat composition comprising an aqueous phase containing a water-soluble antioxidant and a carbohydrate and having a certain degree or more of water-soluble solids content, the aqueous phase being dispersed in an oil phase, wherein the antioxidant oil and fat composition contains a certain amount of water.

Provided are an oiliness/fattiness enhancer for foods in which oiliness/fattiness of a food can be enhanced, and a food in which oiliness/fattiness has been enhanced. Provided is an oiliness/fattiness enhancer for foods characterized by containing, as an active component, an oxidized oil/fat having a peroxide value of 20 or more to 400 or less and including milk fat in an amount of 10% by mass or more to 100% by mass or less. The oiliness/fattiness enhancer for foods preferably contains the oxidized oil/fat in an amount of 0.001% by mass or more to 100% by mass or less, preferably has anhydrous milk fat as the milk fat, preferably includes a pulverulent oil/fat containing the oxidized oil/fat and an excipient, and is preferably applied to a food having an oil/fat content of 0.1% by mass or more to 70% by mass or more. The food is preferably any one food selected from the group consisting of a dressing, a roux, and a soup.

Food and beverage products including natural stabilizers, and particularly to replace EDTA, are provided. In particular, the food products comprise oil-in-water emulsions and the natural stabilizers include high molecular weight polymers which are effective to extend the shelf-life of the products.

The present invention relates to a food composition, a process for the production of the food composition, a food composition producible by the method according to the invention, the use of the food composition and products comprising the food composition according to the invention.

A nut butter spread is described to include nut portions blended in a nut butter base. The nut portions are derived from nuts having been finished (e.g., prior to introduction to the nut butter base) via a slicing operation.

The present invention relates to a food stabilising composition including at least one plant derived inhibitor of fatty acid oxidation, processes for providing such compositions and methods and uses of the compositions and foodstuffs including such compositions.

The present invention relates to an edible, water-continuous composition comprising 15-80 wt. % water, by weight of the composition, 5-50 wt. % comminuted, sunflower seeds, by weight of the composition, wherein the comminuted sunflower seeds consist of raw sunflower seeds and roasted sunflower seeds such that 5-50 wt. % of the comminuted sunflower seeds is roasted sunflower seeds.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a composition comprising one or more omega-3 fatty acid salt(s), the composition obtainable or obtained by this method, and also the use of this composition for the preparation of foodstuffs, food supplements or pharmaceutical products.

This specification discloses thermally inhibited waxy cassava starches and edible compositions made therefrom. In one aspect edible compositions have improved creaminess compared to prior art starches, independent of starch usage level and the viscosity provided by the starch. In an embodiment the edible composition comprises between 0.1% and 35.0% by weight. In various embodiments the thermally inhibited waxy cassava starch has a peak viscosity of between about 100, and 2000 Brabender units or between 500 and 1500 Brabender Units.
