Patent number: 6022577Abstract: Fat products containing high stearic acid soybean oil blended with other processed or unprocessed oils or fats and having a solids content of at least about 4%, preferably at least about 6%, at 8.degree. F. and a solids content of at least about 1% at 92.degree. F. are disclosed. The blend may be a simple mixture of high stearic soybean oil with processed or unprocessed fats, an interesterified blend, or a combination of these. Preferred products contain no hydrogenated fat.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1991Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Assignee: Nabisco Technology CompanyInventors: Michael M. Chrysam, Turiddu A. Pelloso

Patent number: 5662953Abstract: Fat mixtures enriched with triglycerides having long, saturated, preferably C.sub.16 to C.sub.22, fatty acid residues and short, preferably C.sub.2 to C.sub.4, acid residues are employed in edible compositions as low calorie fats. The preferred embodiments comprise mixtures of at least two triglycerides bearing long residues (e.g. stearyl) and short residues (e.g. acetyl or propyl). In one preferred embodiment, each triglyceride contains short chain residues which are different from those in the other triglyceride. In another preferred embodiment, at least a portion of the triglycerides have two different short residues. Methods of using the low calorie fats and food products incorporating them, particularly in coating, shortening and margarine products, are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1995Date of Patent: September 2, 1997Assignee: Nabisco, Inc.Inventors: Edward L. Wheeler, Ronald P. D'Amelia, Gilbert A. Leveille, Michael S. Otterburn, Lawrence P. Klemann, John W. Finley, Allan D. Roden, Michael M. Chrysam, Turiddu A. Pelloso, Peter S. Given, Jr.

Patent number: 5552167Abstract: High linolenic edible oils such as soybean oil and canola are stabilized by blending the oils with rice bran oil in amounts effective to render the oils stable to oxidation. Preferred embodiments employ from about 0.5% to about 10%, more narrowly from about 2% to about 5%, by weight rice bran oil specially processed to retain unsaponifiable matter. In one embodiment, physically refined rice bran oil is used. The natural stabilized oil is especially useful as a spray oil for crackers, nuts, chips, and other snack products.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1995Date of Patent: September 3, 1996Assignee: Nabisco, Inc.Inventors: James B. Taylor, Thomas M. Richar, Carolyn L. Wilhelm, Michael M. Chrysam, Michael Otterburn, Gilbert A. Leveille

Patent number: 5391383Abstract: Non-greasy spray oils for snack and other food products are especially useful for adhering topical seasonings or condiments to the products. The spray oils contain fats bearing short acetic acid, propionic and/or butyric acid residues, and long, saturated C.sub.16 to C.sub.24 fatty acid residues. Especially preferred are triglycerides exhibiting a solid fat index at 70.degree. F. of at least about 50%, more preferably at least about 60%, and at least about 40%, more preferably at least about 50%, at 80.degree. F. One preferred embodiment contains triglycerides wherein at least about 75% of the long acid residues are stearic acid or longer residues and the short residues are mixtures of acetic acid and propionic acid residues, acetic acid and butyric acid residues, or a mixture of acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid residues. The spray oils are low in calories and oxidation resistant.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1993Date of Patent: February 21, 1995Assignee: Nabisco, Inc.Inventors: Joanne Sullivan, Michael M. Chrysam
