Coconut oil, coconut oil blends that are high in MCTs such as LouAna liquid coconut oil, pure MCT oils, and Omega-3 oils may be emulsified to create an emulsified oil or blend that may take the form of a creamy shot or a cream substitute. These oils and/or blends may be emulsified using an emulsifier that may be selected from the following: sunflower lecithin, sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), or a combination of sunflower lecithin and SSL. By emulsifying these oils/oil blends, a good tasting creamy shot or a cream substitute can be formed.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a paste-like oily foodstuff that contains a preset amount of fats and oils, can be easily handled during preparation and yet has a heat resistance and favorable melting feeling in the mouth. The above problem has been solved by finding that a paste-like oily foodstuff, in which the yield value is increased without increasing the plastic viscosity, can be obtained by using a specific emulsifier and the thus obtained paste-like oily foodstuff has a heat resistance, favorable melting feeling in the mouth and good handling properties during preparation.

Coconut oil, coconut oil blends that are high in MCTs such as LouAna liquid coconut oil, pure MCT oils, Omega-3oils, cannabidiol (CBD), hemp extract, tree nut oil, macadamia oil, almond oil, cashew oil, avocado oil, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fish oil, and/or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may be emulsified to create an emulsified oil or blend that may take the form of a creamy shot or a cream substitute. These oils and/or blends may be emulsified using an emulsifier that may be selected from the following: sunflower lecithin, sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), acacia gum, beta-cyclodextrin, and combinations of same. By emulsifying these oils/oil blends, a good tasting creamy shot or a cream substitute can be formed.

A chewing gum component for use in a chewing gum composition is provided including a component body and a plurality of regions of at least one active ingredient encapsulated within an encapsulating material. The plurality of regions is disposed within said component body. Less than 15% of an average active concentration in said component body is in contact with an exterior surface of said component body.

A novel frozen confection sauce composition comprising from 10 to 18 wt % vegetable fat that is solid at 4 C., from 24 to 32 wt % vegetable fat that is liquid at 4 C., from 5 to 10 wt % nut paste and from 30 to 40 wt % sugar. A novel frozen confection sauce composition for the reduction of sugar bloom.

A combination confectionery product for selective dispensing of a flowable fluid food product from a capped compressible container onto a solid food product mounted on a handle that is releasably securable within a chamber enclosure, a cantilevered supporting platform projecting from the chamber enclosure to support the compressible container and a cantilevered projection for removably engaging the compressible container cap and secure the container on the supporting platform.

Stevia extracts with selected major steviol glycosides (Reb A, stevioside, Reb D, Reb C) and minor steviol glycosides and glycosylated diterpene derivative plant molecules, derived from Stevia rebaudiana plant are found to improve the perception of flavor and taste perception, which includes the sweet, savory and salty perception in a wide range of food and beverage applications.
