  • Publication number: 20180310583
    Abstract: The present invention has the objective to provide a stable gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion. Such emulsions can be used as food products, for example as a mayonnaise or salad dressing. This objective has been achieved by a gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion, which is prepared by combining a mixture of sucrose fatty acid ester in water, with an aerated oil containing sucrose fatty acid ester. The aerated oil is dispersed in the aqueous phase, to a product containing oil droplets containing gas bubbles in a continuous aqueous phase. A gas-in-oil-in-water emulsion has been developed which is stable against oil exudation, phase separation and phase inversion for at least two months.

  • Publication number: 20150086701
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oil containing gas bubbles, sucrose fatty acid ester and hydrophobin. Moreover the invention relates to a method of making these products, as well as using this composition to reduce spattering during shallow frying of food products. Aerated oil compositions are prepared which are stable during storage and remain homogeneous with respect to the hydrophobin.

  • Patent number: 8986773
    Abstract: A process to prepare packaged pasteurized or sterilized aqueous drinkable products which comprise casein micelles (e.g. from dairy protein) and peptide-fractions, which peptide fractions are rich in tryptophan, and the products so-obtained. The process requires a heat preservation at a specific pH.

  • Publication number: 20140010945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an edible oil-in-water emulsion composition, a method for the preparation of the edible oil-in-water emulsion composition, and use of the edible oil-in-water composition. The edible water-in-oil emulsion preferably is a multipurpose dairy cream alternative composition. It was found that edible oil-in-water emulsion compositions comprising sucrose fatty acid esters mainly containing sucrose monostearate or sucrose monopalmitate or a combination thereof, are highly suitable as multipurpose dairy cream alternative compositions. In particular, edible oil-in-water emulsion compositions according to this invention are both whippable and do not aggregate or coagulate in hot acidic media.

  • Publication number: 20080057176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing water continuous acidified emulsions that can be used as a spread on food prnducts including bread or toast or as a semi-solid acidified crean. The process comprises the step of homogenising an emulsion comprising 15 to 50% fat and protein at a low temperature followed by heating followed by a siep of acidification. The product so produced is stable to repeated cyclic temperature changes that the product undergoes between when it is stored in the refrigerator at about 5° C. and when it is taken out for use when it warms up to ambient temperatures of about 25° C. The invention also relates to a stable water continuous acidified emulsion.
