Suggested is a composition with stabilized taste and/or odor, comprising (a) at least one acetophenone derivative of formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 stands for hydrogen or methyl, and R.sub.2 stands for hydrogen, hydroxyl or a —OCH.sub.3 group, or a cosmetically pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) at least one mono- or polyunsaturated C.sub.8-C.sub.22 fatty acid or its monohydric polyhydric C.sub.1-C.sub.18 alkyl alcohols ester. ##STR00001##

Spreadable fat-containing food products, such as confectionery spreads, with improved structural stability and good organoleptic properties, and methods of their production are disclosed. The products include glyceride compositions which are characterized by having a healthy fatty acid profile, such as a reduced level of saturated fatty acids (SAFA).

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a novel oil-and-fat composition usable as an oil-and-fat sensation imparting material that can impart an oil-and-fat sensation to food and drink at a more natural and moderate intensity or can enhance or improve the oil-and-fat feeling in food and drink, and that can further enhance the flavor or texture that can be sensed in the oral cavity, such as a richness of taste, depth of taste, voluminous feeling, and feeling on the tongue; and a novel manufacturing method therefor. The present invention pertains to an oil-and-fat composition that has a moisture content of less than 1.0 mass % and that includes: component A that is three types of free fatty acids comprising free palmitic acid, free oleic acid, and free stearic acid; and component B that is two types of unsaturated aldehydes comprising 2-decenal and 2-octenal, wherein 0.002-0.2 parts by mass of component B is contained with respect to 100 parts by mass of component A, and at least 8.5 mass % of component A is contained with respect to the total mass of the composition.

Edible fat-containing product comprising 30-99 wt. % of a fat phase, wherein the product further comprises 0.01-3 wt. % of a plant-based protein and 0.05-3 wt. % of a sugar, the remainder being an aqueous phase up to 100 wt. %, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the product, a method for its preparation and the use of sugar in an edible fat-containing product as a browning agent.

A method of making a pet food product includes: mixing (a) a powder containing one or more probiotics and (b) a first portion of liquid fat using a high shear mixer, to form a liquid mixture containing the one or more probiotics dispersed in the first portion of liquid fat and mixing a second portion of liquid fat with the liquid mixture, to form a coating composition containing the one or more probiotics and the first and second portions of liquid fat; and coating a food kibble with the coating composition using a batch or continuous coating device, to form the pet food product.

Provided is an oil-and-fat-containing composition which is for food and in which oxidized odor of oil and fat caused by 1-hexanol or 1-pentanol is suppressed. This composition is an edible oil-and-fat-containing composition containing 1-hexanol and/or 1-pentanol, further contains hexanal, and satisfies the following (A) and (B). (A) The content of the hexanol is 10 ppb by mass to 100 ppm by mass. (B) α/β is 1-10,000 and/or α/γ is 1-10,000, where, regarding peak areas measured through SPME-GC/MS at a sample temperature of 80° C., the peak area (m/z=82) of the hexanal is defined as α, the peak area (m/z=84) of the 1-hexanol is defined as β, and the peak area (m/z=70) of the 1-pentanol is defined as γ.
