An oil-in-water emulsified food composition with a pH of from 2 to 5, comprising water, vegetable oil in an amount of from 65 to 80 wt %, plant protein, bran of mustard seed or cereal grain, wherein the composition is free from egg-derived ingredients.

An oil-in-water type composition which can provide a chewy texture both in a non-cooked state and a heated state and does not show water/oil separation, including: an alkyl cellulose, a 1% by mass aqueous solution of which has a viscosity at 20° C. of from 4,000 to 11,000 mPa.Math.s when measured with a Brookfield type viscometer and a 1.5% by mass aqueous solution of which has a storage modulus G′ (65° C.) at 65° C. of from 2,500 to 4,500 Pa; an edible oil or fat; and water. Also provided is a food using the alkyl cellulose.

The present disclosure relates to the field of delivery systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a process for preparing a powdered composition including granules. The granules include at least one active substance present in an encapsulated form and in a non-encapsulated form. They are obtained by drying a mixture including an aqueous phase of a water-soluble polymer, a Pickering emulsion including a non-encapsulated active substance and a microcapsule slurry including an encapsulated active substance that can differ or being the same as the non-encapsulated substance. The disclosure further relates to granules obtained by the process and to products containing them.

A food condiment and method of preparing such condiment is provided. The food condiment may be used as salad dressings, marinades, dipping sauces, and the like. The food condiment includes mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pepper, crab seasoning, dried parsley; spice seasoning, salt, soy sauce, and hot sauce. The ingredients may be intermixed in a variety of mixing orders. In one intermixing method, the oil based ingredients and the water based ingredient are mixed with an emulsifier to create a stable emulsion at room temperature.

The disclosure provides a system for enhancing the flavor of a consumable.

A flavor nanoemulsion. The nanoemulsion contains a plurality of oil droplets, an aqueous phase, and a surfactant system including a polyethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid ester and a lecithin. Also disclosed is a liquid beverage or a liquid beverage concentrate containing the nanoemulsion and a method of preparing the same.

Described herein is a food grade emulsion capable of modulating sensory properties in foods and beverages. The emulsion is characterized by the presence in its dispersed phase of at least one enzymatically modified lipid component. The emulsion constitutes a stable and effective flavour delivery system and can thus be incorporated as such in a food composition or a beverage composition.

An emulsified condiment including ground, cracked, or milled mustard seeds, an acid component such as vinegar, water, and a significant amount by weight of an edible oil, provides a condiment with a thick, spreadable texture, a creamy mouthfeel, and separation stability without the inclusion of emulsion forming gums or additives. The process of making the condiment includes rough cracking mustard seeds, mixing the mustard seeds with water, an oil, an acid component, and water to obtain a mixture, soaking the mixture with moderate agitation, stone milling the mixture, and deaerating the mixture.

Edible sheets for use in the preparation of food products and/or direct consumption by consumers are disclosed. The edible sheets include at least one flexible or semi-rigid membrane or layer of a base material having particles of one or more functional materials, such as lubricants or flavoring additives, dispersed therein. The edible sheets are configured to undergo a transformation and release the functional materials onto a cooking surface or surface of a food item, or into a mouth of a consumer, upon satisfaction of one or more predetermined conditions, allowing for consistent and controlled delivery of the functional materials. The edible sheets may be effective to flavor a food item before, during, or after cooking, may be effective to lubricate a food item or cooking surface, and/or may be effective to deliver a gustatory sensation to a consumer.

A composition having an oil-in-water dispersion with enhanced stability is provided. The oil-in-water dispersion has particles of a hydrophobic agent with an average particle size between about 100 to about 999 nm, where the distribution of particle sizes are a monodispersity about the average particle size, and the negative charge on the particles generates a force of repulsion that exceeds the force of coalescence among the particles of the hydrophobic agent in the oil-in-water dispersion. A method for applying the composition to a food and/or beverage is also provided. The submicron average particle size, dispersity, and force of repulsion of the particles in the dispersion increase the extent of penetration and accelerate diffusion of the particles of the hydrophobic agent throughout a water phase of a food or beverage, to enhance the physical, chemical, nutritional and/or sensory properties of the food or beverage, and to prevent freezer burn.
