Abstract: A process for preparing a slurry of edible oil and fat powder, and to a process of preparing an edible fat-continuous spread out of such. The process for preparing said slurry has at least two different regimes of reduced pressure.

Abstract: A process for preparing a slurry of an edible oil phase and fat powder, and to a process of preparing an edible fat-continuous spread out of such, wherein the oil phase comprises olive oil.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing edible fat continuous emulsions comprising 25 to 60 wt. % of fat, and which emulsion can be made without the usual mono- and/or diglyceride emulsifier. The process involves structuring the oil phase and stabilizing the emulsion by a combination of fat powder comprising hardstock and hardstock blended with the oil of the emulsion in liquid form.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a water-dispersible granulate having a mass weighted average diameter of at least 100 m, said granulate comprising: 40-90 wt. % of carbohydrates; 2-30 wt. % of lipids containing at least 1% unsaturated fatty acids by weight of the granulate and at least 30 mg/kg of a pro-oxidative metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper and combinations thereof; wherein at least 50 wt. % of the lipids is present as non-dispersed lipids. Despite the fact that the present granulate contains a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids as well as a high level of iron and/or copper, said granulate is nonetheless very stable against oxidation. The granulate of the present invention is easy to manufacture by a process that does not employ emulsification or pro-oxidative conditions. The present invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the aforementioned granulate.
