  • Patent number: 8173192
    Abstract: The invention provides a W1/O/W2 type composite emulsified dressing characterized in that it comprises a polyglycerol polyricinoleate having a degree of esterification of 10-30% and a degree of ricinoleic acid-condensation of 5-8 and that it has a viscosity of 1,000-300,000 mPa·s, and a method for the preparation of the dressing which comprises the steps of 90-10 parts by mass of an aqueous phase (W1) is mixed with 10-90 parts by mass of an oily phase (O) to thus form a W1/O type emulsion and then 100 parts by mass of the resulting W1/O type emulsion is blended with 25-150 parts by mass of an aqueous phase (W2) to thus give a W1/O/W2 type composite emulsified dressing, wherein the dressing comprises a polyglycerol polyricinoleate having a degree of esterification of 10-30% and a degree of ricinoleic acid-condensation of 5-8, in an amount ranging from 0.01-5% by mass on the basis of the total mass of the W1/O/W2 type composite emulsified dressing. The dressing are quite excellent in their storage stability.

  • Publication number: 20070264411
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process of producing a capsinoid-containing food and drink with a superior stability of the capsinoid compound, and an emulsion composition comprising a capsinoid compound with an improved dilution stability thereof. The process entails blending an oil phase containing a capsinoid compound with an aqueous phase and an emulsifier to prepare an emulsion composition, and mixing the emulsion composition with an aqueous component, wherein an additional emulsifier and/or a high-molecular component is added to the emulsion composition, the aqueous component or a mixture thereof.

  • Patent number: 6579558
    Abstract: An oil-in-water type emulsified food is prepared by mixing an aqueous phase material containing at least egg and vinegar, then emulsifying the mixed aqueous phase material with an oily phase material comprising more than 20% by weight of a fat/oil having a melting point lower than 0° C. The resulting oil-in-water type emulsified food has more stable physical properties, and has a percentage change in elastic modulus which is at most 10%. The relationship between the mixing time and temperature may also be determined based on the following: a) when the mixing temperature, T, is 30 to 55° C., the mixing time in minutes, t, is calculated by the formula t =106×eaT, and the coefficient a is from −0.2 to −0.3; and b) when the mixing temperature is 0 to 15° C., the mixing time is from 1 day to 1 week.
