FAT POWDER AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF EDIBLE WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION COMPRISING IT

摘要

Fat powder comprising hardstock fat co-crystallized with at least one emulsifier, wherein said emulsifier has a HLB value of 8 or lower and comprises at least 40 wt. %, based on the total weight of the emulsifier, of mono- and/or diglycerides having saturated fatty acid with a carbon chain length of at least 12, and wherein said hardstock fat is characterized by the following solid fat profile: N10 from 95 to 30; N20 of at least 15; N35 of at most 35; and wherein the weight ratio of said hardstock fat to said emulsifier is from 1:0.010 to 1:0.5. The invention further relates to a process wherein said fat powder is used for the manufacture of water-in-oil emulsions. The invention further relates to water-in-oil emulsions having an improved stability.

1. Fat powder comprising hardstock fat co-crystallized with at least one emulsifier,
wherein said emulsifier has a HLB value of 8 or lower and comprises at least 60 wt. %, based on the total weight of the emulsifier, of
mono- or diglycerides or a combination thereof, having saturated fatty acids with a carbon chain length of at least 12; and wherein said hardstock fat is characterized by the following solid fat profile: N10 from 90 to 40; N20 from 85 to 20; N35 from 25 to 2; andwherein the weight ratio of said hardstock fat to said emulsifier is from 1:0.010 to 1:0.5, and wherein the fat powder comprises, based on the weight of total hardstock fat comprised by the fat powder, at least 75 wt. % of one or more natural fats.
