Abstract: The invention concerns with micronized fat continuous particles comprising fat and non fat ingredients, wherein the particles have a mean weight diameter (MWD) of 700 to 4000 microns, while the particles have a particle size distribution so that more than 75 wt % of the particles have a particle size that is inside the range (MWD+0.4×MWD) to (MWD−0.4×MWD); food products comprising a fat phase, wherein these particles are present, a process to prepare these micronized fat particles and the use of these particles in food products to achieve benefits, such as bio availability, stability, oral melt, hardness, texture, homogeneity and ease of dosing.

Abstract: Edible fat based flakes containing a flavouring system and displaying an excellent oral and textural properties comprise: i) 0 to 2% moisture ii) 25 to 90 wt % of a fat with a Stevens hardness at 25° C. of more than 65 g iii) 0 to 15% of a flavouring system iv) 0 to 40% of sugar v) 0 to 60 wt % of a filler vi) 0 to 60% of a health component while the total of components iii) to vi) is more than 8 wt % and which flakes have a size of 0.05 mm to 2.5 cm.
