Methods are disclosed to create healthier palm oil and new food additives derived from products of the processing of Elaeis fruit that were hitherto fore discarded as waste. The pressing product of Elaeis fruit and the effluent created is treated with acidified antioxidants from olive vegetation containing hydroxytyrosol and a mixture of other polyphenols. The treated POME, palm oil and palm juice are stabilized against oxidation and their inherently nutritive components may now be harvested instead of being thrown away.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising vegetable oil, caramel and one or more phenolic compounds. The caramel and one or more phenolic compounds together prevent oxidation of the vegetable oil, such that the amount of EDTA in the composition can be reduced. The caramel has been heated such that it does not impart a dark colour to the composition. The invention also relates to a method to prepare the composition. Finally the invention relates to use of caramel and one or more phenolic compounds to decrease the oxidation of vegetable oil.

The invention relates to an emulsion for protecting oxidizable lipids from oxidative damage and methods of making the same. The lipids are encapsulated in a complex of casein and whey protein.

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.

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.

Water-based release coatings are disclosed. The water-based release coatings include a homogenous blend of water, a surfactant comprising saponin glycosides, and lecithin. The mixture of saponin glycosides are preferably derived from the Quillaja plant. The release coatings can be used for reducing or preventing build-up on a cooking surface.
