  • Publication number: 20130122179
    Abstract: The invention relates to an edible fat continuous spread being a water in oil emulsion comprising a water phase and a fat phase, wherein the fat phase comprises liquid oil and a structuring fat, said spread comprising a first emulsifier and a second emulsifier, to 85 wt % fat and 0.1 to 20 wt % plant sterol particles wherein the first emulsifier is a water soluble biopolymer based emulsifier with a molecular weight of at least 500, the second emulsifier is an oil soluble emulsifier and at least 70 vol % of the plant sterol particles is smaller than 10 micrometer. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of such a spread, said process comprising the preparation of an aqueous dispersion comprising plant sterol particles and at least part of the water soluble emulsifier; and the addition of said dispersion to a fat phase or a water in oil emulsion.

  • Publication number: 20020172751
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for increasing the polyphenol content in an oil, comprising the steps of contacting the oil with olive fruit material in the presence of an acid and separating the oil from the olive fruit material. The acid is preferably hydrochloric acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid or ascorbic acid. The olive fruit material can be selected from the group consisting of whole olive fruits, olive fruit particles and olive residue.
