MULTIFUNCTIONAL,FAT-CONTINUOUS EMULSIONS WITH A REDUCED FAT CONTENT

摘要

The invention relates to multifunctional edible w/o emulsions which can be used for both spreading and baking and have a reduced fat content of below 80% fat and preferably 50-70% fat. The invention is characterized by the use of an emulsifier system comprising mono fatty acid esters of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with a polyhydroxyl alcohol selected from the group comprising glycerol, polyglycerol or a mixture of both glycerol and polyglycerol, there being 0.l-0.4 wt.% saturated ester and 0.l-0.6 wt.% unsaturated ester in a ratio of from l.8 to 0.2. The use/advantage of the emulsifier system is both a lack of sogginess on baking and good spreading properties are achieved.
