  • Spoonable soured low-fat non-dairy creams
    Patent number: 5372825
    Abstract: Soured, water-continuous creams that are free of emulsifiers and that contain 5-15 wt % of at least a vegetable fat and that further contain a protein component and a thickener composition were found to be stable and spoonable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 1992

  • Water-continuous emulsions based on polysaccharides
    Patent number: 5338561
    Abstract: The invention concerns water-continuous emulsions having a fat content of 1-60 wt. %, and wherein the aqueous phase consists of a gelling polysaccharide capable of forming a gel while the shear modulus of the aqueous phase must fulfil specific requirements and while the gelling polysaccharides are present as microgels with a mean equivalent diameter of less than 100 .mu.m.The emulsion is spoonable, meaning that it fulfils specific requirements as to yield value, Bingham viscosity and failure to stress.The emulsions can be used in non-dairy creams, in dressings and mayonnaises.

  • Non-dairy creams and process of making
    Patent number: 5135768
    Abstract: The invention concerns non-dairy creams that comprise the usual compounds: water, vegetable fat, milk component and emulsifier, preferably a caseinate. Although the concentration ratio B/C.sup.2 (B=milk component, C=emulsifier) in these NDC's is high the viscosity of these NDC's is still less than 150 mPa s. Also a process is disclosed for the preparation of these NDC's, in which a specific order of processing steps is essential.
