Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of beverages. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of beverages fortified with iron. For example, the present inventors have found that iron fortification with ferrous bisglycinate in a plant based beverage with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 3.9 leads to an increased color stability and a better taste of the beverage compared to other compounds commonly used to fortify beverages with iron.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of beverages. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of beverages fortified with iron. For example, the present inventors have found that iron fortification with ferrous bisglycinate in a red plant based beverage with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 4.0 leads to an increased colour stability and a better taste of the beverage compared to other compounds commonly used to fortify beverages with iron.

Abstract: The invention relates to A frozen confection coating composition, the composition comprising, expressed in weight % based on the total weight of the coating, 35-75 wt. % of non-interesterified fat, preferably 40-65 wt. % of non-interesterified fat which comprises a fat blend of medium soft fat and liquid oil, and 25-65 wt. % of non-fat solids, preferably 35-60 wt. % of non-fat solids, wherein, the coating composition comprises, less than 35 wt. % of saturated fatty acid, preferably less than 30 wt. % of saturated fatty acids 15-50 wt. %, preferably 18-30% of monounsaturated fatty acid and less than 10%, preferably less than 5% of polyunsaturated fatty acid, and wherein the medium soft fat has above 40%, preferably between 50-70%, of solid fat content at 20° C., and medium soft fat has 54-60% of saturated fatty acid, and wherein the fat blend in the coating crystallizes in a first and second crystallization step at a temperature below ?15° C. and displays a solid fat content of 30-50% within 2 min.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lipid composition comprising at least 5 wt % of a structuring agent dispersed in oil or fat wherein the structuring agent comprises at least 50 wt % of triacylglycerol containing a glycerin skeleton esterified with one type of saturated fatty acid having a chain length of either 10:0, 12:0 or 14:0. Further aspects of the invention are: the structuring agent, a food product comprising the lipid composition, the use of the lipid composition as a structure stabilizer or a moisture barrier in a food product; and a method for preparing the lipid composition.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of refined oils. In particular, the present invention relates to refined plant oils substantially free of chlorinated contaminants, such as monochloropropanediol (MCPD), in particular 3-MCPD di-esters, and to a process to produce such oils. To achieve this, at least one alcohol is added to the oil during refinement.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of refined oils. In particular, the present invention relates to refined plant oils substantially free of chlorinated contaminants, such as monochloropropanediol (MCPD), in particular 3-MCPD di-esters, and to a process to produce such oils. To achieve this, crude oil is liquid-liquid extracted to remove chlorine donors before it is further refined.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of oil refinement. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of processes to produce refined oils, substantially free of contaminants, such as glycidyl esters, for example. In accordance with the present invention, such refined plant oils free of glycidyl esters may be obtained by using plant oil or a plant oil fractions having a maximum level of 3 weight-% diacylglycerols (DAG) in the oil refinement process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to frozen confectionery coatings which have a low amount of fat. In particular, it relates to the use of certain water-in-oil emulsions as low-fat coating for frozen confections or desserts, in particular to make brittle coatings on such confections or desserts.

Abstract: The present invention covers a low-fat confectionery product comprising 0-15% fat phase, 15-50% aqueous phase, electrically charged particles, and a structuring agent, the low-fat confectionery product being a co-suspension.

Abstract: A mixture of fatty acids rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids is esterified by enzymatic catalysis and then the reaction mixture is saponified, which provides an organic phase containing esters and an aqueous phase which contains fatty acids, the phases are separated and the fatty acids of the aqueous phase are extracted by a non-polar solvent to obtain the fatty acids in the solvent, after which the solvent may be removed from the fatty acids.
