  • Cream alternatives
    Patent number: 7344748
    Abstract: Our invention concerns spreadable and/or spoonable water continuous, gelatin free cream alternatives comprising 10 to 50 wt % of a fat blend and up to 5 wt % of a biopolymer other than gelatin as a thickener, in addition to water as continuous phase, which creams display a Stevens value at 5° C. (S5) of more than 100 gram, while the fat blend comprises vegetable fat(s) and 5 to 75 wt % of dairy fat and which fat blend displays a solid fat index (NMR-Pulse on stabilised fat) at 5° C. (N5) and at 15° C. (N15) such that the ratio between N15 and N5 (i.e. N15/N5) is less than 0.60.

  • Pourable fatty dispersions
    Patent number: 6395324
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hardstock fat which is suitable for stabilizing a dispersion of a non-fat phase in a triglyceride oil, including liquid margarines, which hardstock fat consists of a mixture of triglycerides, characterized in that, at least two triglycerides having a melting point >55° C. each have a concentration of at least 5 wt. %, the amount of triglycerides having fatty acid residues with a difference in chain length of the longest and the shortest residue of at least four carbon atoms is at least 15 wt. % and the amount of triglycerides with a melting point of 25-55° C. is ≦25 wt. %.
