Abstract: The invention relates to a process to manufacture a water-in-oil emulsion, comprising ?10 to 85 wt. % of liquid oil; ?0.5 to 50 wt. % of fat powder comprising hardstock fat; ?10 to 85 wt. % of a water-phase; ?0.005 to 5 wt. % of lecithin; and ?0.01 to 5 wt. % of monoglyceride; comprising the steps of: 1. providing a solution of at most 5 wt. % of the liquid oil, based on the total amount of liquid oil, comprising at least 50 wt. % of dissolved lecithin, based on total amount of lecithin; and at least 50 wt. % of dissolved monoglyceride, based on total amount of monoglyceride; wherein the temperature of the solution is at least 50 degrees Celsius; 2. providing an oil-continuous system comprising at least 75 wt. % of the liquid oil, based on the total amount of liquid oil, wherein the system has a temperature of from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius; 3. contacting the solution provided at step ‘I’ with the system provided at step ‘2’; 4.

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: The invention relates to a process to manufacture a water-in-oil emulsion, comprising •10 to 85 wt. % of liquid oil; •0.5 to 50 wt. % of fat powder comprising hardstock fat; •10 to 85 wt. % of a water-phase; •0.005 to 5 wt. % of lecithin; and •0.01 to 5 wt. % of monoglyceride; comprising the steps of: 1. providing a solution of at most 5 wt. % of the liquid oil, based on the total amount of liquid oil, comprising at least 50 wt. % of dissolved lecithin, based on total amount of lecithin; and at least 50 wt. % of dissolved monoglyceride, based on total amount of monoglyceride; wherein the temperature of the solution is at least 50 degrees Celsius; 2. providing an oil-continuous system comprising at least 75 wt. % of the liquid oil, based on the total amount of liquid oil, wherein the system has a temperature of from 0 to 20 degrees Celsius; 3. contacting the solution provided at step ‘I’ with the system provided at step ‘2’; 4.

Abstract: The invention relates to edible fat powders having a full width at half maximum of the first order long spacing X-ray diffraction peak of 0.17 to 0.80 degrees and a gel strength of 5 to 3500 Pa. The invention further relates to a method of preparing a fat continuous spread comprising the use of such edible fat powder.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous drink product having a pH in the range of from 5.3 to 8.0 and comprising 1-6 wt. % soy protein, from 0-10 wt. % fat, from 0.25-1.75 wt. % saturated monoglyceride emulsifier and from 0.01-2.5 wt. % of water-insoluble edible inorganic salts. The products have a an improved level of lack of sedimentation and/or precipitation.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing an edible aqueous liquid composition that has been supplemented with a first mineral selected from the group of metals consisting of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese and a second mineral, different from the first mineral, that is selected from the same group of metals. Another aspect of the present inventions relates to a reconstitutable powder containing: 0.01-3 mmole of the first mineral per gram of powder; 0.02-4 mmole of the second mineral per gram of powder; 0.02-8 mmole of acid per gram of powder, said acid being selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid and combinations thereof; 0.02-0.99 g of soy protein per gram of powder; and less than 10 wt. % of water.
