A method for preparation of a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion includes providing caramel, one or more phenolic compounds, vegetable oil and vinegar. The caramel is prepared from one or more monosaccharides and/or one or more disaccharides and water, and heated for a time period. The method includes mixing the caramel with one or more phenolic compounds with vegetable oil.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and suspensions thereof in an aqueous phase are provided, in which the SLNs have high content of oil-soluble pigment and high stability. A food product, such as a beverage, comprising said SLNs is also provided.

A non-hydrogenated mixed dairy and non-dairy cream includes the following raw materials in weight percent: non-hydrogenated vegetable oil: 8%-18%; sorbitan monostearate: 0.05%-0.5%; stearyl monoglyceridyl citrate: 0.02%-0.5%; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids: 0.05%-1%; lactate monoglyceride: 0.02%-1%; sodium stearoyl lactylate: 0.02%-0.5%; sucrose fatty acid ester: 0.05%-0.5%; polyglycerol ester: 0.02%-0.5%; carrageenan: 0.01%-0.1%; microcrystalline cellulose: 0.05%-0.8%; modified cellulose: 0.05%-1%; sodium caseinate: 0.1%-1.5%; potassium dihydrogen phosphate: 0.02%-0.2%; sugar: 2%-6%; glucose syrup: 2%-12%; fat-containing dairy product: 8%-18%; and water: 20%-60%.

Provided herein are microencapsulated compositions, optionally oil-in-water emulsions, comprising one or more long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), optionally in triglyceride form, wherein the encapsulant comprises one or more low molecular weight proteins. In particular embodiments the composition has a surface free fat content of about 1%. Also provided are methods for protecting one or more LCPUFAs, or one or more oils comprising the one or more LCPUFAs, from oxidative degradation, comprising encapsulating the LCPUFAs or oil with an encapsulant comprising one or more low molecular weight proteins.

The invention relates to an oil in water microemulsion comprising a water solubility agent composition designed for preparing a MCT based oil phase in water microemulsion. The water solubility agent composition is based on using sucrose ester as emulsifier and lecithin as co-emulsifier. The invention further relates to a method of emulsifying a MCT based oil phase to form an oil in water microemulsion, a food product comprising the MCT based oil phase in water microemulsion in diluted form and the use of a water solubility agent composition for dispersing an MCT based oil phase in water.

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 disclosure provides a nanoemulsion including an oil, water, an emulsifying agent, and an active ingredient, flavorant, or a combination thereof. The nanoemulsion is intended for human oral use.

Nutritional formulas comprising long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are provided, along with methods and devices for preparing and/or administering nutritional formulas. In some embodiments, a percentage of the LC-PUFAs in the nutritional formula are in the form of monoglycerides and/or free fatty acids. In some embodiments, the nutritional formulas do not comprise added lipase. Also provided are methods for providing nutrition to a subject, methods for improving fat absorption, methods for improving cognitive ability, methods for preventing chronic lung disease, and methods for reducing the length of time a patient requires total parenteral nutrition.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising vegetable oil, caramel and one or more phenolic compounds. The caramel and one or more phenolic compounds together prevent oxidation of the vegetable oil, such that the amount of EDTA in the composition can be reduced. The caramel has been heated such that it does not impart a dark colour to the composition. The invention also relates to a method to prepare the composition. Finally the invention relates to use of caramel and one or more phenolic compounds to decrease the oxidation of vegetable oil.

The present invention relates to a process for making an anhydrous fatty preparation to be incorporated in a product selected from a bakery product, a personal care product, cosmetics, dermocosmetics, soaps, varnishes, paints or snacks, preferably a bakery product, wherein said fatty preparation does not comprise fats with a saturated fat content higher than 35% by weight, nor trans fats, nor animal-derived products, nor totally or partially hydrogenated oils or fats, nor interesterified or transesterified fats, nor palm or coconut-derived oils or fats. The present invention further relates to a anhydrous fatty preparation and to a bakery product, a personal care product, cosmetics, dermocosmetics, soaps, varnishes, paints or snacks, preferably a bakery product comprising the same.
