Abstract: It has now been found that emulsions having a discrete phase volume fraction of 60% to 67% with excellent stability may be prepared using at least one low molecular weight surfactant. Such emulsions have high oil loading and a small mean particle size of less than 0.2 microns. Further, such emulsions may be used in beverages without weighting agents.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve includes a valve body having a valve seat fluidly positioned between an inlet and an outlet. A valve member is movable among a first position, a second position, and a third position. The valve member is in contact with the valve seat and fluidly blocks the inlet from the outlet at the first position. At the second position of the valve member, the inlet is fluidly connected to the outlet via a small flow area. The inlet is fluidly connected to the outlet via a large flow area when the valve member is at the third position. An electrical actuator is attached to the valve body and is operably coupled to move the valve member when energized. The valve member includes an opening hydraulic surface exposed to fluid pressure in the inlet when at the first position. A spring is operably positioned to bias the valve member toward the second position when the valve member is at the third position.
