The present invention relates to a method for the production of an ozonized olive oil with a controlled degree of ozonization, wherein said method comprises at least one step of putting the olive oil into contact with ozone in the presence of water.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing two mixtures of epoxidized fatty acid esters, comprising in the order given a transesterification of an epoxidized vegetable oil, followed by a reduction of the volatile saturated non-epoxidized fraction by short path distillation of the transesterified epoxidized vegetable oil, followed by a selection on the one hand of the non-vaporized fraction (residue) of the previous process step as the first mixture of epoxidized fatty acid esters and a selection on the other hand of the vaporized fraction (distillate) as the second mixture of epoxidized fatty acid esters. The first mixture is in particular suitable as plasticizer in halogenated polymers, the second mixture being particularly suitable as plasticizer in non-halogenated polymers.

A process for making a surfactant composition is disclosed. In the process, a mixture comprising a sugar alcohol and fatty is formed. The mixture contains less than 5% by weight of water based on the total weight of the mixture. The mixture is reacted with an alkylene oxide to make a surfactant composition containing an alkoxylated sugar alcohol fatty acid ester and a polyalkylene glycol fatty acid ester. A surfactant composition and use of the surfactant composition to separate an oil phase and/or an aqueous phase from an emulsion is also disclosed.

There are provided ester polyols prepared from the esterification of ozone acids and branched primary polyols. There are also provided ester polyol esters prepared from an ester polyol of the invention and further esterifying the ester polyol with at least one carboxylic acid to produce at least one ester polyol ester. There are also provided rigid or flexible foams prepared using the ester polyols and/or ester polyol esters of the invention. There is also provided a coating prepared from the ester polyols and/or ester polyols esters of the invention.

Provided is a taste improver having an exceptional effect for improving the taste of a high-intensity sweetener, or a method for improving the taste.

The present invention provides a taste improver for a high-intensity sweetener, the taste improver having, as an active ingredient, an oxidized oil and fat having a peroxide value of 15 to 180 and including 10% by mass to 100% by mass of milk fat. The present invention also provides a food or drink containing a high-intensity sweetener, the food or drink containing the taste improver. The present invention also provides a method for imparting sweetness and a sweetness-imparting composition, in each of which the oxidized oil and fat is used in combination with a high-intensity sweetener.
