Abstract: The present invention relates a process for the preparation of a chocolate composition, the process comprising the steps of preparing a blend of dry ingredients, each ingredient having an individual fat content of less than 30%; conching the blend of dry ingredients; adding one or more ingredients having an individual fat content of 30% fat or greater to the blend and mixing; and compressing the mixture of step iii) to form the chocolate composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound as a cold flow improver for a fuel composition, said compound being an ester of (i) a polyol wherein the polyol is selected from at least pentaerythritol, polymers thereof and mixtures thereof; and (ii) a fatty acid oligomer, wherein the fatty acid oligomer has a degree of polymerisation from 2 to 7. The ester compound can be used for reducing, preventing or inhibiting cold filter plugging in a diesel engine.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel composition comprising: (a) a fuel; and (b) a polyglycerol ester of a fatty acid; wherein the polyglycerol composition used to form the polyglycerol ester of a fatty acid comprises a mixture of diglycerol in an amount of 11.0 to 34.0 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; triglycerol in an amount of 9.5 to 24.5 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; tetraglycerol in an amount of 6.0 to 21.0 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; pentaglycerol in an amount of 3.5 to 19.0 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; hexaglycerol in an amount of 6.0 to 13.5 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; heptaglycerol in an amount of 5.0 to 13.0 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; octaglycerol in an amount of 3.0 to 12.0 weight % based on the combined weight of the polyglycerols; nonaglycerol in an amount of 1.5 to 10.

Abstract: There is provided a palm olein composition comprising: (a) palm olein oil (b) (i) a lactic acid ester selected from an ester of lactic acid and a C12 to C22 fatty acid, salts thereof and mixtures thereof; or (ii) a fumaric acid ester selected from an ester of fumaric acid and a C12 to C22 fatty alcohol, salts thereof and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel composition comprising: (a) a fuel; (b) polyglycerol polyricinoleic acid (c) a monoglyceride of a fatty acid.
