Composition comprising lactic acid esters of mono-and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier containing the same and its use

摘要

The invention relates to compositions comprising lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids i.e. LACTEM compositions. The invention relates especially to novel LACTEM, which include 5 to 95% by weight unsaturated fatty acid(s), as well as to emulsifiers containing LACTEM with unsaturated fatty acids. The use of unsaturated fatty acids in LACTEM improves firmness, volume and/or texture of food and non-food products produced with said LACTEM.
