A triglyceride oil-in-glycerin emulsion with triglyceride oil in an amount equal to between forty and seventy percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, glycerin in an amount equal to between twenty and sixty percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, and lecithin in an amount equal to between one and ten percent of the emulsion on a weight basis. The lecithin has a hydrophilic lipophilic balance value in the range of four to seven and contains at least ten percent phosphatidylcholine on a weight basis. The free fatty acids in the emulsion have an acid value of less than two. The emulsion does not contain any preservatives.

The present invention relates to a low-fat water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion comprising a fat phase in an amount of at most 60 wt % relative to the total weight of the emulsion, an aqueous phase dispersed within the fat phase and an emulsifier composition, said emulsifier composition comprising an Acetone-insoluble (AI) component containing a Phosphatidyl Choline (PC), a Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI), a Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (PE) and a Phosphatidic Acid (PA), wherein PC is in an amount of at most 15.5% relative to the total weight of the emulsifier composition and wherein the emulsifier composition is characterized by a weight ratio R of at most 65%, the ratio R being defined as (1) wherein PC+PI+PE+PA is the sum of the individual weights of the respective constituents of the AI component and AI is the total weight of the AI component.
