Abstract: A system and method for selecting, ordering and distributing customized food products is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method is a computer-implemented method comprising viewing a list of additives for creating a customized food product, selecting one or more additives from the list of additives to create the customized food product, and transmitting a request to purchase the customized food product, which is then distributed to the consumer. By communicating with the manufacturer as to personal needs and desires pertaining to health, activity level, organoleptic preferences and so forth, the consumer can now develop and order a customized food product to suit his or her particular tastes, using a real-time interactive communication link.

Abstract: Disclosed are processed meat food products, especially 1) sectioned and formed meat formulations, and 2) sausages, especially emulsion types, which contain nonhydrogenated fish oil yet which exhibit enhanced stability of the fish oil against flavor and aroma degradation. The improved processed meat food products are stabilized by the incorporation of fructose in the food product such that the weight ratio of fructose to fish oil is at least about 0.05:1. Surprisingly, incorporation of modest amounts of fructose into processed meat food products within the indicated minimum provides a stabilizing effect on the highly unstable fish oil. The present invention finds particular suitability for use in connection with fish oils rich in omega-3-fatty acids.

Abstract: Disclosed are food products, especially culinary mixes and baked goods prepared therefrom which contain nonhydrogenated fish oil yet which exhibit enhanced stability of the fish oil against flavor and aroma degradation. The improved food products are stabilized by the incorporation of the food product such that the weight ratio of fructose to fish oil is a least about 0.05:1. Surprisingly, incorporation of modest amounts of fructose in food products within the indicated minimum provides a stabilizing effect of the high unstable fish oil.

Abstract: Disclosed are food products, especially stable beverage emulsions which contain nonhydrogenated fish oil yet which exhibit enhanced stability of the fish oil against flavor and aroma degradation. The improved food products are stabilized by the incorporation of the food product such that the weight ratio of fructose to fish oil is at least about 0.01:1. Surprisingly, incorporation of modest amounts of fructose in food products within the indicated minimum provides a stabilizing effect of the highly unstable fish oil. The present invention finds particular suitability for use in connection with fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Abstract: Disclosed are food products, especially stable emulsions such as salad dressings, which contain non-hydrogenated fish oil yet which exhibit enhanced stability of the fish oil against flavor degradation. The improved food products are stabilized by the incorporation of the food product such that the weight ratio of fructose to fish oil is at least about 0.05:1. Surprisingly, incorporation of modest amounts of fructose in food products within the indicated range provides a stabilizing effect of the highly unstable fish oil. The present invention finds particular suitability for use in connection with fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
