  • Use of a composition
    Patent number: 7371402
    Abstract: There is provided use of a pectin composition to prepare an aqueous composition having high yield stress characteristics without substantial gelation, wherein the pectin composition comprises at least a population of pectin that is calcium sensitive; wherein the pectin composition is capable of imparting high yield stress characteristics to an aqueous composition without causing substantial gelatin of the aqueous composition. There is also provided a standardised acidic aqueous composition comprising a deesterified pectin dissolved in water wherein the pH of the aqueous solution is less than 6, and wherein the deesterified pectin has a degree of esterification from about 50-60% and has a calcium fraction greater than 15; and wherein the amount of the deesterified pectin in the aqueous solution is from about 0.1 to 0.5%.

  • Method for stabilizing a food product, a stabilizer-emulsifier blend and use thereof
    Publication number: 20060286250
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for stabilizing a food product by adding to fat containing food ingredients a cold dispersible emulsifier and a hydrocolloid stabilizer for providing a cold-prepared heat stable fat emulsion, with the proviso that when the emulsifier is sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), the stabilizer is not carrageenan iota. The invention also relates to a blend of a cold-soluble hydrocolloid stabilizer and a cold dispersible emulsifier capable of improving the stability of cold-prepared emulsified food products and to the use thereof as well as to an emulsified meat product which is cold-prepared and heat stabilized by a blend according to the invention.
