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.

An aerated confection is disclosed. The aerated confection comprising as an emulsifier polyglycerol ester (PGE) which is present at an air-water interface of air cells in the aerated confection. A method for the manufacture of the aerated confection is also disclosed.

A fat- and/or oil-based dispersion comprising crystalline, semi-crystalline or amorphous particles or a mixture thereof, which can be used for coatings, fillings, nut products, printing media and decoration purposes.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: an oil and fat composition which is for frozen dessert, moderately lingers, and has a rich flavor with low saturated fatty acid content; and chocolates which are for frozen dessert, and contain the fat and oil composition for frozen dessert. The chocolates which are for frozen dessert, moderately lingers, and has rich flavor with low saturated fatty acid content can be obtained by adding the prescribed amount of a transesterified oil and fat composition which is for frozen dessert and in which the composition of constituent fatty acids and the solid fat content (SFC) have been prescribed.

This invention addresses the problem of suppressing deterioration in the flavor of ice cream containing PUFAs over time. This invention was arrived at by discovering that in ice cream containing DHA and/or EPA, abnormal flavors which arise during low-temperature storage can be effectively suppressed when a water phase containing polyphenols is micro-dispersed at 500 nm or less in an oil or fat containing DHA and/or EPA.

The invention provides a frozen confection product comprising oil bodies and from 2 to 35 wt % total fat; at most 15 wt % protein; and from 5 to 40 wt % sugars; wherein at least 25 wt % of the fat is present as oil bodies; and wherein the oil in the oil bodies has an iodine value of less than 100 and comprises at least 45% C18:1 fatty acids.

Disclosed is a frozen confection comprising freezing point depressants in an amount of from 20 to 40% by weight of the frozen confection, wherein the number average molecular weight of the freezing point depressants is less than 230 g mol.sup.−1. The frozen confection also comprises lactic acid ester of mono and/or diglyceride.

The present invention relates to a whipping agent comprising protein and emulsifier for aerated food products, such as for sorbet and sherbet applications. The present invention also relates to whipped food products such as sorbets and sherbets comprising this whipping agent and a method for making the same. The present invention also relates to complexes between a protein and an emulsifier, use thereof and a method for producing the complexes.
