Producing sauce (e.g., mayonnaise) using animal fat on a commercial scale to obtain the quantity, quality, and life of traditional commercial-grade sauce made with common fruit, nut, seed, flower, and vegetable oils. An industrial-grade emulsifying machine such as a high-shear mixer is utilized to ensure that the animal fat particles are made sufficiently small to produce a good emulsion. An anti-rancidity or antioxidant (e.g., vitamin E, rosemary oil extract (ROE), bovine casein hydrolysate (BCH)) is utilized to prevent the animal fat from becoming rancid and enabling longer shelf life. The animal fat offers many benefits over traditional fruit, flower, nut, vegetable, and seed oils including being cheaper and more plentiful commercially, better-tasting and health benefits, including anti-carcinogenic properties.

The present invention is direct to an co-fruit pulp based edible composition in which an agricultural fruit byproduct base material, in conjunction with a hydrocolloid, is treated with pressure and/or heat to form an edible composition that is dimensionally stable, ambient stable for at least 9 months, has a moisture content greater than 50 wt. %, has a pH less than 4.5, has a water activity greater than 0.5, is commercially sterile, is free of artificial flavors and/or artificial colors, has a solids content greater than 10 wt. %, and does not exhibit syneresis or exhibits syneresis. Alternatively, the base material contains an edible fruit and/or vegetable and/or nut byproduct alone or in combination with the co-fruit pulp. Also provided is a method for preparation of the edible composition.

An objective of the disclosure is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid and malic acid to total organic acids in the apple cider vinegar is more than 2%.

This invention relates generally to multivitamin extrudates. Their production as well as their use.

A lutein microcapsule formulation and preparation method thereof, the formulation comprising the following ingredients: lutein crystals, a water-soluble emulsifier, an oil-soluble antioxidant, a wall material, a filler, a water-soluble antioxidant, and purified water. The preparation method comprises: dissolving the lutein crystals and the oil-soluble antioxidant in the water-soluble emulsifier to obtain an oil phase; adding the wall material, the water-soluble antioxidant, and the filler to the purified water to obtain a water phase; adding the oil phase to the water phase, grinding to obtain a particle size of the liquid emulsion of less than 100 nm, and granulating.
