EDIBLE PRODUCTS AND FORMULATIONS

摘要

The invention provides edible products having at least two layers of different composition, at least one of the layers being a gelled layer, the edible products being formed from a substantially uniform composition including water, at least one gel-forming hydrocolloid and at least one fat dispersed in the water. The invention also provides formulations and processes for preparing the edible products. The processes include the steps of (a) providing a substantially uniform composition including water, at least one gel-forming hydrocolloid and at least one fat dispersed in the water, (b) heating the substantially uniform composition to a temperature at which the substantially uniform composition separates into two layers, and (c) causing at least one of the layers to gel.
