The invention relates to an oil-and-water emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase, said emulsion containing: 15-40 wt. % water; 30-60 wt. % oil; 1.5-18 wt. % of cyclodextrin selected from alpha-cyclodextrin, beta-cyclodextrin and combinations thereof; 12-50 wt. % of saccharides selected from monosaccharides, disaccharides, non-cyclic oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols and combinations thereof.
The emulsions according to the present invention are highly stable under ambient conditions, can easily be used as a base for the manufacture of a variety of icings, fillings and toppings. These base emulsions can suitably be aerated (creamed) to produce a creamed icing or filling, or a whipped topping that has excellent ambient temperature stability.

It relates to an edible emulsion substantially free of trans fatty acids comprising: a) from 1.2 to 3.0 wt % of one or more thermogelling cellulose ethers, b) from 40 to 50 wt % of one or more vegetable oils, c) a pH adjusting agent in an amount such that the pH of the final emulsion is from 3.5 to 6.0, d) from 0.02 to 0.5 wt % of an ionic naturally occurring polysaccharide of vegetal or microbiological origin, e) from 45 to 60 wt % of water, wherein the pH of the emulsion is from 3.5 to 6.0; wherein the amount of trans fatty acids in the emulsion is lower than 0.1 wt %, and wherein the percentages are expressed with respect to the total weight of the emulsion provided that the sum of the amounts of the components is equal to or less than 100%. It also relates to a process for its preparation and to a food stuff comprising the emulsion as defined above.

An object of the present invention is to provide oils and fats which include constituent fatty acids containing a large amount of n-decanoic acid, scarcely cause discomfort when ingested, and have excellent cold resistance. The present invention provides oils and fats, in which the content of tridecanoin is 30% by mass or less, the content of medium chain fatty acids contained in the constituent fatty acids is 65 to 95% by mass, and the content of n-decanoic acid contained in the medium chain fatty acids is 50% by mass or more. Furthermore, the present invention provides oils and fats in which the content of unsaturated fatty acids contained in the constituent fatty acids of the oils and fats is 3 to 35% by mass.

The disclosure relates generally to stabilizer compositions, food composition suitable for fillings and toppings, methods of making a food composition, methods of making filled or topped food items. In one embodiment, a stabilizer composition includes a heat-settable material present in an amount in the range of 5-30 wt %, starch present in an amount in the range of 25-70 wt %, a plant protein present in an amount in the range of 0.2-50 wt %, and a fiber comprising insoluble fiber, the fiber being present in an amount in the range of 3-30 wt %.
