The present invention relates to methods of stabilizing phospholipids (PLs) and lysophospholipids (LPLs) in water. One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of stabilizing PLs and LPLs comprising treatment of the PLs and/or the LPLs with surfactants, co-surfactants, and a salt. Another aspect of the present invention relates to increasing the dispersion of PLs and LPLs in water and maintaining phase stability over a time period of over 12 months and a temperature range of −10 to 50° C. There are many advantages of the present invention including but not limited to improved feed mill efficiency, pellet quality, oil-water emulsification and animal performance when included in the feed.

The present invention relates to a self-emulsifiable composition including a monoacyl phospholipid, a diacyl phospholipid, oils and fats, and a polyhydric alcohol, in which the content ratio between the monoacyl phospholipid and the diacyl phospholipid is in the range of monoacyl phospholipid:diacyl phospholipid=1:9 to 9:1 as a mass ratio.

The present invention relates to process for enlarging oleosomes and the process comprises subjecting isolated oleosomes to a high-shear mixing or a high-shear centrifugal force, and obtaining an oleosome composition. The invention further relates to oleosome compositions. It also relates to food and feed products, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, nutritional compositions and industrial products comprising said oleosome composition. The invention relates to the process of preparing nutritional compositions comprising oleosome compositions. The current invention further relates to the use of rotor-stator high-shear mixer and/or a disk-stack centrifuge for enlarging the average globule diameter of oleosomes in an oleosome composition

Disclosed is a method for preparing an emulsion gel-based fat substitute with adjustable phase change and use thereof, belonging to the field of oils and fats and food processing. The emulsion gel-based fat substitutes are prepared by using an oil-soluble polysaccharide, oil-soluble small molecule gelling agent, water-soluble large molecule gelling agent and vegetable oil as raw materials, dissolving the oil-soluble polysaccharide, small molecule gelling agent and water-soluble large molecule gelling agent in the heated oil and water phases, mixing and emulsifying the oil solution and aqueous solution to obtain an emulsion, and then gelling the emulsion upon stirring and cooling. An oil-soluble polysaccharide reduces the amount of oil-soluble small molecule gelling agent, an emulsion gel-based fat substitute containing trans-free low-saturated fatty acids is prepared, and the overall oil content of the emulsion gel is reduced by adding the water phase gelled with the water-soluble large molecule gelling agent.

A method for preparation of a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion includes providing caramel, one or more phenolic compounds, vegetable oil and vinegar. The caramel is prepared from one or more monosaccharides and/or one or more disaccharides and water, and heated for a time period. The method includes mixing the caramel with one or more phenolic compounds with vegetable oil.

Nutritional formulas comprising long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are provided, along with methods and devices for preparing and/or administering nutritional formulas. In some embodiments, a percentage of the LC-PUFAs in the nutritional formula are in the form of monoglycerides and/or free fatty acids. In some embodiments, the nutritional formulas do not comprise added lipase. Also provided are methods for providing nutrition to a subject, methods for improving fat absorption, methods for improving cognitive ability, methods for preventing chronic lung disease, and methods for reducing the length of time a patient requires total parenteral nutrition.

A composition, including fatty acids, egg yolk and an acidic aqueous medium, that includes at least 20 percent DHA by weight (20 wt %). An oil in water emulsion is provided, such as a mayonnaise, paste or has a mayonnaise-like consistency, for example suitable to be pressed or squeezed from a flexible container or tube. Methods are provided for treating disease in which DHA is deficient, for example sickle cell disease, and a medical food product including the composition and a process for the preparation of a composition or medical food product.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a monoglyceride hydrate product, which product may be used as an emulsifier in various food and non-food applications. The present invention further relates to the monoglyceride hydrate product obtainable by said method. The invention further relates to a monoglyceride hydrate product, comprising monoglycerides, with saturated fatty acid residues, water and non-hydrogenated monoglycerides and/or diglycerides having unsaturated fatty acid residues.

The invention relates to emulsions for use in food products. In particular, the invention relates to stable water-in-oil emulsions for reduced fat food products such as confectionery, spreads, and bakery goods.
