Abstract: A microencapsulated product comprises a core, a first shell comprising a protein and being substantially carbohydrate-free, and a second shell comprising a carbohydrate and being substantially protein-free. The double shell structure provides a strong shell that makes the microcapsule suitable for use in food products. The core can be a lipid, and in particular a structured lipid with nutritional benefits, such that the nutritional benefits can be passed on to the consumer. The microcapsules of the present invention can be used in making foods products, beverage products, and mixes for making such food and beverage products.

Abstract: Provided herein are oil compositions comprising an interesterified structured lipid component, the component being an interesterifcation reaction product of an amount of a medium chain triglyceride, an amount of a long chain domestic oil, and an amount of a source of stearidonic acid. Also provided are methods for making the compositions. The structured lipid component can be used in edible oil compositions. The oil compositions can contain an amount of a phytosterol ester component. The oil compositions disclosed herein have good stability and also have other properties useful for an edible oil composition.

Abstract: Described herein are spread compositions having reduced levels of saturated and trans fats. The compositions comprise water, a base oil, a seeding agent and a cellulose fiber. Also provided are methods of preparing such compositions and use thereof.
