Abstract: An oil composition containing omega-9 canola oil is disclosed in which the canola oil is stabilized against oxidation. The omega-9 canola oil contains more than 68% oleic acid and less than 4% linolenic acid. In particular embodiments, the oil composition contains 0.1-1.0 weight percent omega-3 fatty acids, which may be DHA, and may contain additional antioxidants, such as tocopherols. Oxidatively resistant oil compositions and food compositions containing omega-9 canola oil with DHA are also disclosed. Methods for increasing the oxidative stability of omega-9 canola oil by addition of DHA are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable oil-in-water emulsions comprising a polyunsaturated fatty acid, an emulsifier, water, a metal chelating agent, and an antioxidant, and processes for preparing the stable oil-in-water emulsions. The stable oil-in-water emulsions are substantially free from coalescence, flocculation, Ostwald ripening, and creaming, for a period of at least five months at a temperature of about 4° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thermally, stable oil-in-water emulsions comprising an oil comprising a polyunsaturated fatty acid, water, an emulsifier, and a water-soluble stabilizer, and processes for preparing the thermally stable oil-in-water emulsions. The thermally stable oil-in-water emulsions remain flowable at a temperature of ?40° C., and are free from a variation in particle size after 9 months in storage at a temperature of ?40° C. to ?15° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes for pasteurizing a milk or dairy product supplemented with one or more omega-3 or omega-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) in which the milk or dairy product is heated, and then heated to a sterilization temperature. Milk or dairy product supplemented with one or more omega-3 or omega-6 HUFAs and produced by a process of the invention has increased stability.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a food product comprises a non-fat base, one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids, and one or more stabilizing ingredients. The stabilizing ingredients are selected to reduce the rate at which the polyunsaturated fatty acids oxidize in the non-fat base. At least one of the one or more stabilizing ingredients comprises a protein, a lipid, or a protein-and-lipid combination.

Abstract: The performance of an extruder when used in the manufacturing of ice cream by operating with a pitch angle of between 28 and 45 degrees with screws which have more than one thread start.

Abstract: Individual portions of a frozen aerated product with particulate inclusions are produced by allowing a portion of frozen aerated product to flow from a source of frozen aerated product through a mixing chamber, introducing a serving of particulate inclusions into said portion of frozen aerated product in the mixing chamber, and dispensing said portion with its particulate inclusions into a container
