Abstract: The invention relates to food products comprising an aqueous phase and gas bubbles, whereby said gas bubbles are substantially dispersed in the aqueous phase, and whereby said gas bubbles have a mean diameter size distribution with a maximum below 10 &mgr;m and whereby said aqueous phase comprises a compound capable of forming at least a partial coating around said gas bubbles. Food products are for example cheese, frying fats, dressings, margarines.

Abstract: Edible laminated dough is made with a water continuous lamination dispersion. The lamination dispersion includes a combination of hydrocolloids. Expressed on the non-fat contents of the lamination dispersion, 0.5-40% protein hydrocolloid and 0.1-60% non-protein hydrocolloid or gelatin are included. The water content of the lamination dispersion is 15-90%, the fat content 0-80%. From the dough e.g. puff pastry, croissants and Danish pastry can be made having good structure and taste. With the laminated dough a wider range of laminated baked products can be obtained, e.g. containing less or nutritionally more attractive fat having a different taste profile. A preferred combination of hydrocolloids is aggregate gel forming maltodextrin and sodium caseinate. Another preferred lamination dispersion is based on cheese not containing melting salts.

Abstract: Edible laminated dough, e.g. for making croissants or puff pastries, is prepared by combining a pre-dough with a lamination dispersion and subjecting the combination to rolling and folding to obtain a plurality of layers, wherein the lamination dispersion is a water-continuous dispersion, characterised in that the lamination dispersion has a pH of 5.0 or less and that the lamination dispersion comprises, calculated on the non-fat content of the lamination dispersion: 40-80% water 17-55% aggregate forming polysaccharide gelling hydrocolloid, and 0.1-8% non-gelling polyysaccharide thickening hydrocolloid that provides at 20° C. and a shearrate of 50s−1 a viscosity of at least 50 mPas. Also an edible lamination dispersion for use in this process is described.
