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.

The present invention concerns the use of a composition containing a hydroxypropyl phosphate crosslinked starch and a white dextrin for producing fresh milk products with a reduced fat content, characterised in that: —the hydroxypropyl phosphate crosslinked starch has a degree of substitution of between 0.09 and 0.2, preferably between 0.09 and 0.14, and more preferably between 0.10 and 0.11, and —the white dextrin has ∘a DE of less than 5, preferably less than 3, more preferably less than 2, ∘a viscosity at 40% dry matter of between 3600 and 6000 mPa.Math.s, and ∘a solubles content of less than 30%.

Low-salt processed foods or drinks frequently taste like something is missing because of the less salty taste thereof. Although salt substitutes and flavoring agents are often used to offer a sense of satisfaction, these additives exhibit only limited effects or cause some troubles of, for example, changing the original flavor of food. Under these circumstances, the present invention addresses the problem of enhancing the salty taste of a low-salt processed food or drink without imparting any undesired taste thereto. To solve the above problem, the present inventors conducted intensive studies and, as a result, found that an effect of comfortably and naturally enhancing salty taste can be achieved by adding a composition, which comprises dietary fibers, in particular, glucan and mannan at a specific ratio, to common processed foods or drinks including low-salt processed foods or drinks.
