Reduced fat, shelf stable double emulsion condiments. The condiments produced have a reduced fat content, shelf stability, and an enhanced taste profile. The process of making the products is also described.

A process for preparing a slurry of an edible oil phase and fat powder, and to a process of preparing an edible fat-continuous spread out of such, wherein the oil phase comprises olive oil.

The present invention relates to foodstuffs comprising structured fats and/or fat-like compositions and methods for making the same. In particular, the foodstuff may be a sausage, baked good, dairy product, confectionery product or food emulsion with improved properties, such as health benefits and/or improved thermal and/or textural properties and/or an improved oral sensory experience.

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.

An edible and thermoreversible oleogel comprising an oil or mixture of oils, grease or mixtures of fats and a structuring agent or mixture of structuring agents on the basis of a distilled monoglyceride of saturated fatty acid having from 12 to 24 carbon atoms that contains more than 90% by weight of monoglycerides, the monoglycerides of the saturated fatty acid are at least 40% by weight of monoglycerides of stearic acid and at least 30% by weight of monoglycerides of palmitic acid. The oleogel is prepared by the combination of oil, grease, and the structuring agent followed by a heating of the mixture, which is then cooled to obtain the oleogel. The resulting oleogel can be used as a substitute for fat in food products.

Disclosed is a novel method of making a structuring agent for edible dispersions such as margarines or spreads. Fat, or another structuring component, is subjected to a process involving mixing it with liquefied gas or supercritical gas, and expanding the mixture through an orifice. In the invention, water is added to the mixture prior to expansion, so as to provide a spray liquid in the form of a fat and water emulsion.

The present invention relates to beadlets comprising at least one carotenoid and matrix material, which comprise wax(es) and/or fat(s) with a drop point of between 30 to 85 C., as well as to the production of such beadlets and to the use of such beadlets in compositions.

The present invention concerns a solid creamy alimentary formulation based on olive oil comprising olive oil in an amount comprised between 50 and 90% by weight, fat of vegetable origin between 5 and 50% by weight, water between 0 and 25% by weight, emulsifying agents between 0.2 and 1.2% by weight, vegetable fibers for alimentary use between 0.2 and 1.5% by weight, organic acid for alimentary use between 0.01 and 0.15% by weight; a method of manufacturing and uses thereof.

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.

A lipid composition includes, by weight of the lipid composition: from 30 wt % to 70 wt % a first lipid component; from 10 wt % to 40 wt % a sweetening substance; from 5 wt % to 20 wt % water; from 0.1 wt % to 1.2 wt % an emulsifier; and 1.5 wt % to 11 wt % a second lipid component. The emulsifier has a SFA content of less than 90 wt %. The second lipid component has a SFA content of at least 90 wt %, and fully saturated fatty acids with a carbon chain of more than 16 carbons account for at least 33.3 wt % of the SFA content of the second lipid component by weight. The molar amount of the second lipid component accounts for from 2.2 mol % to 15 mol % of the total molar amount of the first lipid component, the emulsifier and the second lipid component.
