  • Patent number: 11910804
    Abstract: An objective of the disclosure is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid and malic acid to total organic acids in the apple cider vinegar is more than 2%.

  • Publication number: 20150359248
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrate food composition and the use said food composition for preparing a bouillon, soup, sauce, gravy or seasoned dish. The dissolution or dispersion of the known high-salt food concentrates in water or through a dish may often take several minutes, while a rapid dissolution and dispersion through the dish is of high importance. Therefore, there is a need for a food concentrate that allows high dilution rates while maintaining the taste impact and which food concentrate dissolves relatively rapid in hot water or a hot dish. It has been found that a food concentrate in the form of a gel having a pH lower than 3.5, comprising water, sodium salt and a gelling pectin, dissolves quickly in hot water or a hot dish.

  • Publication number: 20150189902
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrate food composition comprising water, salt and pectin for preparing a bouillon, a soup, a sauce, a gravy or a seasoned dish. The aim of the present invention is to provide a concentrate food composition in the form of a gel at room temperature and which is shape-stable at high-salt levels, while the increase in viscosity upon cooling of the diluted concentrate food composition is very low. It has been found that a concentrate food composition in the form of a stable gel can be obtained when the concentrate comprises water, sodium salt comminuted plant material, pectin and calcium salt, wherein part of said pectin is bound to said comminuted plant material, and part of said pectin is not bound to said comminuted plant material (free pectin) and said free pectin and said bound pectin are present in a ratio of from 0.2 to 200.
