  • Patent number: 4732767

The emulsifier is selected from: (a) fatty acid mono-diglycerides having from about 35% to about 99% monoglycerides and from about 1% to about 50% diglycerides, wherein at least about 65% of the fatty acids are selected from C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 saturated fatty acids and C.sub.18 trans-unsaturated fatty acids; (b) polyol esters having an average of from about 4 to about 14 hydroxyl groups, wherein from about 10% to about 66% of the hydroxyl groups are esterified, and wherein at least about 65% of the fatty acids are selected from C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 saturated fatty acids and C.sub.
