Abstract: The present invention relates to an emulsified savoury food concentrate comprising by weight of the food concentrate: a. 15-50 wt. % water; b. 15-60 wt. % edible oil; c. 13-40 wt. % by dry weight of non-gelatinised starch; d. 50-350 mmol per 100 g of food concentrate of alkali-metal cation selected from Na+, K+ and combinations thereof; e. Yeast mannan in an amount of at least 0.6% by weight of the edible oil; and f. 0-10 wt. % of vegetable powders and/or vegetable extracts; wherein the w/w ratio of oil to water is at least 0.8:1 and wherein the w/w ratio of non-gelatinised starch by dry weight to water lies in the range of 0.35:1-2.1:1. The present invention further relates to a process of preparing the emulsified savoury food concentrate and to a method of preparing an edible savoury product using the emulsified savoury food concentrate.
