A hydrated lecithin carrier vesicle composition includes a lecithin-derived membrane-forming lipid vesicle in conditioned water for incorporation of an active ingredient to form a dispersed composition. A method of making the hydrated lecithin carrier vesicle includes using lecithin having not more than about 80% w/w phosphatidylcholine in the presence of conditioned water.

An oil-in-water emulsion comprising an excess of n-alkenyl succinic modified starch for use in producing clear citrus flavoured beverages without the need for additional emulsifiers, or the need for washing the citrus oil.

Disclosed herein are an extract emulsified oil comprising an antioxidant, in which lecithin and an edible oil are mixed with a molasses extract, an extract of raw sugar-ion resin reclaimed water or an olive leaf extract, a cooking oil containing the same, and a preparation method therefor. According to the present invention, an emulsified oil capable of extending a replacement cycle of a cooking oil by controlling the coloration of the cooking oil upon heating and maintaining a quality of fried food, that is, capable of having excellent thermal stability of undesirable color, and a cooking oil containing the same may be prepared.

The invention relates to a structured fat system for use in food applications. The invention also relates to the use of a structured fat system for reducing the trans- and saturated fat content of a food product.

A method of forming an encapsulated composition with enhanced solubility and stability. A bicontinuous or Winsor Type III microemulsion is formed using an emulsifier, a solvent and a co-emulsifier. An active composition is added to the microemulsion resulting in a micellar network of the active composition within the microemulsion. The active composition can be either water-soluble or oil-soluble or both.

A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition, and retards the rate of oxidation thereof.

The invention relates to a new solvent-free process for simultaneously obtaining phospholipids-enriched krill oil and neutral lipid enriched-krill oil containing DHA and EPA poly-unsaturated fatty acids and astaxanthin and krill meal. The process includes preheating fresh minced krill followed by melting of the lipids using live steam injection to obtain a press liquid and a solid fraction; centrifuging the press liquid to obtain a phospholipids-enriched emulsion phase; evaporating the water of the emulsion using a thin film evaporator to obtain phospholipids-enriched krill oil; centrifuging the resulting decanter liquid to obtain neutral lipids enriched krill oil and stickwater.

The present invention relates to a method of preparation of discrete particles of nanocrystalline solid dispersion, wherein said discrete particle comprises crystals of said active ingredient(s) in the matrix of the said crystallization inducer(s) and/or coexisting with crystals of crystallization inducer(s), optionally along with pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s). An active ingredient and crystallization inducer is dissolved in a solvent or solvent mixture and then dried to obtain discrete particles of 0.5 to 20 micron size. Each particle consists of crystals of active ingredient in the range of 10-1000 nm dispersed in the matrix of crystallization inducer.

Fat particles useful in food compositions as doughs, methods of preparing the fat particles, method of preparing the food compositions (e.g., doughs) that contain the fat particles, and methods of preparing a baked food product from the food composition, wherein the fat particles contain flavorant salt. These fat particle can be used to prepare dough formulations that meet the desire of being more healthful than previous dough formulations due to a reduced sodium content, optional more healthful fat content (e.g., low trans fats or low saturated fats), or both. Additionally, the fat particles can be conveniently used in commercial or consumer scale dough processing.

In accordance with the invention, it was found, surprisingly, that a polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-comprising biomass with other feedstuff components can be extruded at a low energy input of 12-28 Wh/kg to give an extrudate with a very high oil load capacity.
