Abstract: The present invention relates to edible oil-in-water emulsions that have been stabilized by incorporation of a small quantity of ground, pulse seed and a related process of production thereof. More particularly, the invention provides an edible oil-in-water emulsion comprising: 15-80 wt. % of a continuous aqueous phase, said aqueous phase having a pH in the range of 3.0-5.0; 20-85 wt. % of a dispersed oil phase comprising more than 80 vol. % of oil droplets having a diameter of less than 20 ?m; wherein the emulsion has an elastic modulus G? at 20° C. of 100-3500 Pa and contains 0.1-8% of finely ground pulse seed, calculated as dry matter by weight of aqueous phase, said finely ground pulse seed being obtained from pulse seed having the following composition, calculated on dry matter: 30-60 wt. % of starch; 1-40 wt. % of dietary fiber; 0.5-12 wt. % of sugars; 15-35 wt. % of protein; 0.8-12 wt. % of oil; wherein starch, dietary fiber, sugars, protein and oil together make up 95-100 wt.

Abstract: A packaged food concentrate in the form of a gel comprising, based on the weight of the total food concentrate without the packaging: from 2 wt % to 15 wt % of NaCl, water, an effective amount of gelling agent, from 5 wt % to 60 wt % of a liquid polyol, non-gelatinised starch.

Abstract: A gelled food concentrate comprising a salt-sensitive gum, salt in an amount sufficient to keep the salt-sensitive gum in a salted-out state, a salt-stable gelling system in an amount effective to provide a gelled food concentrate, water, which gelled food concentrate, after dilution in an aqueous liquid, the aqueous liquid being water, can result in a ready-to-eat end product comprising: from 0.1 to 2.5 wt % of salt and from 0.01 wt % to 3.5 wt % of a salt-sensitive gum, the ready-to-eat end product having a viscosity of higher than 15 mPa·s at 20 C°.

Abstract: A semi-solid food concentrate in the form of a gel or a paste comprising a salt-sensitive gum, salt in an amount sufficient to keep the salt-sensitive gum in a salted-out state, a salt-stable structuring material in an amount effective to provide a semi-solid food concentrate, water, which semi-solid food concentrate, after dilution in an aqueous liquid, the aqueous liquid being water, can result in a ready-to-eat end product comprising: from 0.1 to 2.5 wt % of salt and from 0.01 wt % to 3.5 wt % of a salt-sensitive gum. the ready-to-eat end product having a viscosity of higher than 15 mPa·s at 20° C., and wherein the salt-stable gelling system is not konjac mannan alone.
