Abstract: The invention pertains to a water dispersible, preferably a powder composition of water extractible bioactive components of exclusively fruit or vegetable or plant origin. These components are obtainable by: a) subjecting a selected fruit or vegetable or plant material to homogenisation in weak alkaline conditions and at moderate temperature; b) separating the liquid extract from the homogenised mass and subsequently bringing it to neutrality; and c) eventually concentrating or drying, preferably by freeze drying, the neutralized liquid extract. The composition can be used as primary composition in the preparation of a food product for oral administration, a food supplement, a pet food product, a pet food supplement, a cosmetic preparation or a pharmaceutical preparation.

An oral composition containing the primary composition in a foodstuff, food supplement, cosmetic preparation or a pharmaceutical preparation is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to extract long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from sources using emulsifiers dispersed in oil as carrier and to the oils obtainable from such a method. It also relates to the use of emulsifier in oil for improving the extraction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of phospholipids and, in a further aspect, to an oil composition comprising long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in an amount up to 4% and phospholipids in an amount up to 15% and at least one emulsifier.

Abstract: A method for preparing a synthetic lipid composition in which the content and the distribution of the fatty acids are similar to those of human milk fat, containing less than 2% by weight of free fatty acids, in which palmitic acid is predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols and the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are distributed between the 1-, 2- and 3-position and in particular predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols. The method includes the steps of interesterifying a mixture of specific lipids with a mixture of free fatty acids, followed by removal of excess free fatty acids by partial deacidification utilizing steam distillation under vacuum and then by controlled neutralization of the partially deacidified fat.

Abstract: To incorporate water into a chocolate, chocolate and an emulsion or dispersion of a thickening or gelling substance in water, particularly a dispersion of microcrystalline cellulose in water, are introduced into an extruder and mixed and passed to an extruder nozzle so that the chocolate mass extrudate from the nozzle has a temperature of from 0.degree. C. to 28.degree. C.
