Abstract: An edible emulsion with insoluble fiber is described. The edible emulsion is suitable for use as a base for making reduced oil food products. The reduced oil food products made with the edible emulsion having insoluble fiber and diary ingredients have consumer acceptable viscosities and texture and sensorial properties consistent with full fat food products.

Abstract: A food preservative system and method for preserving a food composition is described. The food composition can be high in protein, contain meat and mayonnaise and is shelf stable for at least 30 days. The preservative system has a component that interferes with the permeability of the cell membrane of spoilage bacteria and pathogens and another component that penetrates the same in order to kill or inhibit growth of such organisms.

Abstract: Ambient stable fruit-based compositions are described. The compositions are ready-to-eat, low in fat and suitable to be fillings, dips, sauces, spreads or dressings. The compositions have a fork-mashed texture and do not contain fork-mashed fruit.

Abstract: High fiber and ambient stable fruit-based compositions are described. The compositions are ready-to-eat, low in fat and suitable to be beverages, fillings, dips, sauces, spreads or dressings. The compositions have less than 20.0 ppm of extracellular terminal unsaturated ester.

Abstract: A food composition with fibers is described. The food composition is substantially free of carbohydrates or free of carbohydrates, and has excellent taste and rheological properties. The food composition is also suitable to-deliver needed fiber to diets while maintaining good flavor and taste characteristics.

Abstract: An edible emulsion with insoluble fiber is described. The edible emulsion is suitable for use as a base for making reduced oil food products. The reduced oil food products made with the edible emulsion having insoluble fiber have consumer acceptable viscosities and texture and sensorial properties consistent with full fat food products.

Abstract: An edible emulsion with insoluble fiber thickener and a viscosity-building emulsifier is described. The edible emulsion is suitable for use as a base for making reduced oil food products. The reduced oil food products made with the edible emulsion have consumer acceptable appearances, viscosities and texture as well as sensorial properties consistent with full fat food products.
