Abstract: A beverage such as a dilute juice or tea beverage having a stable flavor/cloud emulsion that contains from about 0.005 to about 0.015% xanthan gum, from about 100 ppm to about 1000 ppm of a preservative selected from sorbic acid, benzoic acid, alkali metal salts thereof and mixtures thereof, from about 300 ppm to about 3000 ppm of a food grade water soluble polyphosphate, and from about 60 to about 99% by weight of added water having from 0 ppm to about 180 ppm of hardness.

Abstract: A reduced calorie fat composition comprising: (a) from about 50% to about 100% of polyol fatty acid polyesters consisting of a combination of liquid and solid polyol fatty acid polyesters, and from 0% to about 50% triglycerides. The liquid polyol fatty acid polyester having at least 50% saturated fatty acid radicals with not more than 14 carbon atoms, provides faster moisture transport than prior polyol fatty acid polyester fat compositions. As a result, foods cooked in the present compositions have good texture, crispness, mouthfeel, color, and taste with reduced calories.

Abstract: A reduced calorie fat comprising at least about 15% by weight triglycerides selected from the group consisting of MML, MLM, LLM, and LML triglycerides, and mixtures thereof; wherein M=fatty acids selected from the group consisting of C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof, and L=fatty acids selected from the group consisting Of C.sub.17 to C.sub.26 saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof is disclosed. The fat also has the following fatty acid composition: (a) from about 15% to about 70% C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 saturated fatty acids; (b) from about 10% to about 70% C.sub.17 to C.sub.26 saturated fatty acids; (c) not more than about 10% fatty acids selected from the group consisting of C.sub.12:0 and C.sub.14:0, and mixtures thereof; (d) not more than about 20% fatty acids selected from the group consisting of C.sub.18:1, C.sub.18:2, C.sub.18:3, and mixtures thereof; and (e) not more than 4% C.sub.18:2 fatty acids.

Abstract: Block polyesters useful as soil release agents in detergent compositions are disclosed. Preferred polyesters have the formula: ##STR1## wherein each R.sup.1 is a 1,4-phenylene moiety; the R.sup.2 consist essentially of ethylene moieties, 1,2-propylene moieties or a mixture thereof; each X is ethyl or preferably methyl; each n is from about 12 to about 43; u is from about 3 to about 10.
