  • Low-fat food emulsions having controlled flavor release and processes therefor
    Patent number: 6703062
    Abstract: Low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavor molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35 w. % of the flavor molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavor molecules from the emulsion is delayed and controlled following the gradual break down of the particles, thereby imparting the taste and mouthfeel of a full-fat emulsion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2004
    Assignee: Lipton, division of Conopco, Inc.

  • Frozen low-fat food emulsions
    Patent number: 6607775
    Abstract: Frozen low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavour molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35% of the flavour molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavour molecules from the frozen emulsion is delayed, thereby imparting the taste of a full-fat emulsion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 1999
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2003

  • FROZEN LOW-FAT FOOD EMULSIONS
    Publication number: 20030099751
    Abstract: Frozen low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavour molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35% of the flavour molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavour molecules from the frozen emulsion is delayed, thereby imparting the taste of a full-fat emulsion.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 26, 1999

  • NON-FROZEN, LOW-FAT FOOD EMULSIONS AND PROCESSES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20010041207
    Abstract: Non-frozen low-fat food emulsions comprise a continuous aqueous phase and a dispersed phase which comprises fat particles, gel particles and fat-soluble flavor molecules; substantially all of the fat particles are located within the gel particles, and at least 35 wt % of the flavor molecules are located in a plurality of the gel particles. The rate of release of the flavor molecules from the emulsion is delayed, thereby imparting the taste and mouthfeel of a full-fat emulsion.
