<p>A coffee whitener having as major ingredients, dry basis, a sweetener, a water-dispersible protein, and a lipid system, wherein aid lipid system is a fluid shortening comprising a hydrogenated, beta-tending, predominantly C16-C18 oil having an IV of about 85-100 and a solid-fat index at 50.degree.F of about 10-18; and stably dispersed therein, a stabilizing amount of a fine crystalline, normally solid phase fat or fatty acid derived food stabilizer component; and an emulsifying amount of an oil/water emulsifier. The fluid shortening is capable of being metered into the coffee whitener formulation during manufacture, and is capable of use at substantially reduced levels as compared to conventional lipid systems for coffee whiteners.</p> |
