  • Weighting oil substitutes
    Patent number: 4705690
    Abstract: The present invention relates to edible, but non-absorbable and non-digestible, halogenated liquid polyesters as weighting oils in carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. It has now been found that bromination of polyol fatty acid ester compounds does not affect their absorption properties, solubility, viscosity, or flavor. Thus the brominated polyol fatty acid ester compounds can be used as weighting oils in beverages with substantially no absorption of bromine by the consumer.
