Abstract: There is provided a creamer composition, said composition comprising casein or a salt thereof and an oil, wherein the weight ratio of casein or salt thereof to oil is about 0.005:1 to about 0.035:1, preferably about 0.010:1 to about 0.030:1; preferably about 0.012:1 to about 0.028:1, more preferably about 0.015:1 to about 0.025:1. Also provided are uses of said creamer composition together with a process of preparing a creamer composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a creamer comprising; (a) i) incorporating a mineral into an oil component by high shear mixing to provide a first composition; and ii) mixing the first composition with an aqueous component to provide a second composition; or (b) i) incorporating a mineral into an aqueous component to provide a first composition; and ii) mixing the first composition with an oil component to provide a second composition; iii) homogenizing the second composition from step ii) of (a) or (b) to provide an oil-in-water emulsion.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to printing processes. In particular the invention relates to processes for printing with edible inks. An aspect of the invention relates to printing an edible ink onto a material using an inkjet printing device. The material may be an edible material. The ink may comprise a colourant, at least 30% water, at least 25% carbohydrate sweeteners and be free from both diols and triols. A further aspect of the invention is a printed foodstuff obtainable by the process of printing edible ink onto a material.

Abstract: The invention relates to emulsifier systems which may be used for stabilizing the interface between a fat phase and an aqueous phase of a food product. The emulsifier system comprises coffee particles having a particle size in the range of from about 0.1 ?m to about 500 ?m, preferably from 1 ?m to 200 ?m. The invention also relates to food products using such an emulsifier system, and to methods for the manufacture of such food products.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of coloured compositions. One aspect of the invention is a red composition comprising quince juice wherein the quince juice imparts the red colour to the composition and wherein no sugar or acid is added. The invention provides for the use of a red composition comprising quince juice to colour a food product, a nutritional formulation, a food supplement, a beverage, an ink or a pharmaceutical product. A further aspect of the invention is a method of preparing a red composition comprising quince juice.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of MR imaging whereby a k-space blade extending through a center of k-space from a subject in motion is acquired. A high-pass convolution of the k-space blade with a reference k-space blade is then determined and converted to a ? function. In-plane motion of the subject during data acquisition of the k-space is then determined from the ? function.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of MR imaging particularly applicable with fast spin echo protocols. Odd and even echoes are used to create separate blades or strips in k-space. Preferably, each blade extends through the center of k-space. The blades are incrementally rotated about the center of k-space with each echo train until a full set of k-space data is acquired. After a phase correction, each odd and even blade is combined into a single k-space data set that is used for image reconstruction.
