Abstract: There is provided a creamer composition, said composition comprising casein or a salt thereof and an oil, wherein the weight ratio of casein or salt thereof to oil is about 0.005:1 to about 0.035:1, preferably about 0.010:1 to about 0.030:1; preferably about 0.012:1 to about 0.028:1, more preferably about 0.015:1 to about 0.025:1. Also provided are uses of said creamer composition together with a process of preparing a creamer composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a creamer comprising; (a) i) incorporating a mineral into an oil component by high shear mixing to provide a first composition; and ii) mixing the first composition with an aqueous component to provide a second composition; or (b) i) incorporating a mineral into an aqueous component to provide a first composition; and ii) mixing the first composition with an oil component to provide a second composition; iii) homogenizing the second composition from step ii) of (a) or (b) to provide an oil-in-water emulsion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for forming a stabilized fat blend. Further aspects of the invention are a composition comprising a fat blend and micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material. The invention also provides for the use of micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material to protect a fat blend from oxidation, for example a fat blend with a low level of saturated fat.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for transferring an aroma from a aroma providing substance to a an aroma-adsorbing substance by a gas flow and without the aroma-providing substance and the aroma-adsorbing substance getting in direct contact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for providing plant seed based compositions with enhanced mouthfeel and aroma. In addition the invention relates to the use of such plant seed based compositions for making capsules for beverage dispensers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for providing oil-filler compounds (OFC) compositions with enhanced taste and/or aromas. In particular the present invention relates to beverages containing micronized OFC particles. The present invention relates to the use of OFC in creamers, beverage powders, ready-to-drink liquid beverage preparations, or beverage capsules suitable for the production of a beverage.
