A process for preparing a water-in-oil emulsion which emulsion comprises protein, oil and a hardstock fat. The process involves blending the melted hardstock fat with a water-continuous dispersion comprising protein and oil, wherein the temperature of the aqueous dispersion being mixed with the melted hardstock fat is below 15 C., and said mixing is carried out by a high shear mixing device followed by a pin-stirrer.

A process for preparing a low fat water-in-oil emulsion which emulsion comprises water, oil and a hardstock fat. The process involves combining an aqueous phase and a fat phase, wherein the fat phase comprises the hardstock fat and which fat phase is at a temperature such that the fat phase is liquid, followed by subjecting the obtained mixture to high shear mixing effected a high shear mixing device, and wherein the product exiting the high shear mixing process the product is packed without having been subject to any further mixing or working process.

The present invention relates to beadlets comprising at least one carotenoid and matrix material, which comprise wax(es) and/or fat(s) with a drop point of between 30 to 85 C., as well as to the production of such beadlets and to the use of such beadlets in compositions.

A system and method for the continuous production of brown butter involves concentrating butter while retaining solids non-fat in the butter, and continuously transferring and heating the concentrated butter to cause the solids non-fat in the butter to react in a maillard reaction to form a brown butter product. The system may use one or more of a heating vessel, an evaporator and a reaction vessel to form the brown butter in the continuous process. A brown butter product derived from butter includes reacted solids non-fat particulates from a maillard reaction suspended by nascent fat crystals nucleated about the reacted solids non-fat particulates and by large fat crystal structures joined to the nascent fat crystals.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of extruded formulations (=extrudates) comprising dispersion droplets, to such formulations as well as to the use of such formulations in food, feed, personal care applications.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an oil phase and a fibrous preparation of delaminated cell wall material dispersed in said oil phase, wherein the cell wall material is sourced from plant tissue, and wherein said fibrous preparation has a specific surface area corresponding to an S.sub.BET of at least 5 m.sup.2/g. The invention also relates to a method to prepare such compositions and the use of said cell wall material to structure the oil phase of a composition comprising an oil phase.

The present invention relates to a stable emulsion of an aqueous phase in a lipid phase wherein non-fatty cocoa solids and/or non-fatty milk solids are present in the lipid phase, and wherein the emulsion has an improved pick-up behaviour. The present invention further relates to a process for making an emulsion and to uses thereof, especially in food products.

The present invention has the objective to provide a stable gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion. Such emulsions can be used as food products, for example as a mayonnaise or salad dressing. This objective has been achieved by a gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion, which is prepared by combining a mixture of sucrose fatty acid ester in water, with an aerated oil containing sucrose fatty acid ester. The aerated oil is dispersed in the aqueous phase, to a product containing oil droplets containing gas bubbles in a continuous aqueous phase. A gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion has been developed which is stable against oil exudation, phase separation and phase inversion for at least two months.

The invention provides a composition comprising a structured oil phase, wherein the oil phase comprises, liquid oil, hardstock fat; and a fibrous preparation of delaminated cell wall material dispersed in said oil phase, wherein the cell wall material is sourced from plant tissue, and wherein said fibrous preparation has a specific surface area corresponding to an S.sub.BET of at least 5 m.sup.2/g. The invention also relates to a method to prepare such compositions and the use of said cell wall material in combination with hardstock fat to structure the oil phase of a composition comprising an oil phase.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an oil phase, and particles of puffed endosperm of a puffable seed, dispersed in said oil phase, wherein upon sieving at least 80 wt % of said particles passes a sieve with apertures of 500 m. The invention also provides a method to prepare such compositions and use of particles of puffed endosperm to structure the oil phase of a composition comprising an oil phase.
