Abstract: Process to manufacture edible aerated water-in-oil emulsion comprising: from 0.5 to 50 wt. % of micronized fat powder comprising hardstock fat; from 10 to 85 wt. % of liquid oil; from 10 to 85 wt. % of water-phase; from 2 to 100 vol. % of gas-phase; wherein the gas has an average solubility in water at 20 degrees Celsius and at 1 bar of pressure of at most 0.75 gram gas per kg water; and wherein the gas has an average solubility in sunflower oil at 20 degrees Celsius and at 1 bar of pressure of at most 0.75 gram gas per kg oil; comprising the step of: mixing the fat powder, the liquid oil, the water-phase and the gas-phase to provide the edible aerated water-in-oil emulsion.

Abstract: Aerated edible water-in-oil emulsion with an overrun of from 2 to 200% comprising from 10 to 85 wt. % of liquid oil; from 0.5 to 50 wt. % of hardstock fat; from 10 to 85 wt. % of water-phase; from 0.45 to 3 wt. % of lecithin.

Abstract: A process for preparing a water-in-oil emulsion which emulsion comprises both oil, a midstock fraction and a hardstock fraction. The process involves blending the melted hardstock fraction with a water-continuous dispersion comprising part or all of the oil and part or all of the midstock fraction, at least part of said midstock fraction being crystallized, wherein the temperature of the aqueous dispersion is below 15° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an edible foam product that can advantageously be used in the treatment or prevention of obesity. More particularly, the present invention provides an edible foam product of pourable or spoonable consistency having an overrun of at least 100%, said foam product containing at least 60 wt. % of water, from 1 to 7 wt. % of protein and from 1 to 20 wt. % of carbohydrates, and further being characterized by a high in-mouth stability as evidenced by a reduction in overrun of less than 35% under in-mouth shear conditions and a high gastric stability as evidenced by a t½>30 minutes, t½representing the time needed to achieve a reduction in overrun of 50% under gastric conditions. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of an edible foam product in the treatment or prevention of overweight or obesity, said edible foam product having a pourable or spoonable consistency, an overrun of at least 100% and a high gastric stability as evidenced by t½>30 minutes.

Abstract: A method of facilitating compliance by individuals to low calorie diets, by ingestion of a pourable or spoonable aerated composition on at least 3 moments a day, e.g. as a snack.

Abstract: The present invention provides edible aqueous oil-in-water emulsions comprising 15-70% wt oil having a saturated fatty acid content of at least 20% wt, 0.1-5% wt of an emulsifier system. The oil preferably comprises hydrogenated and unhydrogenated rapeseed oil and the emulsifier system preferably comprises milk protein and monoglycerides. The emulsions provide good satiety benefits and do not adversely affect the taste of products into which they are incorporated. Also provided are food and beverage products comprising the emulsion of the invention.

Abstract: Oil compositions containing Hoodia plant extract dissolved in medium chain tri-acyl-glycerides. Edible emulsions comprising the inventive oil compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides edible aqueous oil-in-water emulsions comprising 15-70% wt oil having a saturated fatty acid content of at least 20% wt and at least 10% wt of said oil being solid at 37° C., 0.1-5% wt emulsifier which is a protein and 25-84.9% wt water. The oil preferably comprises palm oil and the emulsifier preferably comprises partially denatured egg white. The emulsions provide good satiety benefits and do not adversely affect the taste of products into which they are incorporated. Furthermore the emulsions are very stable which has benefits also for the food products and beverages into which they are incorporated. Also provided are food and beverage products comprising the emulsion of the invention.

Abstract: An edible emulsion with insoluble fiber thickener and a viscosity-building emulsifier as part of a diary base is described. The edible emulsion is suitable for use as a base for making reduced oil food products. The reduced oil food products made with the edible emulsion have consumer acceptable appearances, viscosities and texture as well as sensorial properties consistent with full fat food products.
