<p>The present invention relates to an edible spread and to a processes for producing such a spread. The invention provides an edible, water and oil emulsions in which the fat phase is essentially a single, natural, vegetable fat. While certain non-physical properties of the fat phase, such as it's colour, may be due to the presence of other fats than that responsible for the characteristic physical properties, the fat phase of spreads according to the invention contain low amounts of such natural additives and the physical properties of the fat phase are essentially determined by a single fat which has not been subjected to any chemical treatment other than refining. Typically, the vegetable fat contains a majority of 18-carbon fatty acids, and contains at least 30% H2U triglycerides, at most 50% of which are H2O. In an embodiment of the present invention the bulk of both the H2O and the H2L is present in a symmetric configuration. Preferably, the fat is a refined soybean oil.</p> |
