Abstract
A composition and method for manufacturing nut butters that are resistant to oil separation. The composition may comprise one or more nut butters, konjac fiber, water, a secondary fat, and flavorings. The ingredients are preferably blended via low-shear mixing. The konjac fiber may be derived from corm konjac and may also take the form of a konjac flour.
Claims20
A composition, comprising:
- one or more nut butters;
- konjac;
- and
- water;
- wherein said konjac, at a 1% (w/w) fully solubilized dispersed solution in water, has a minimum viscosity of 140,000 centipoise (cP);
- and
- wherein said konjac is blended with said one or more nut butters via low-shear mixing before said water is added.

A composition, comprising:
- one or more nut butters in a range of approximately 1.0-99.8% by weight;
- a konjac fiber in a range of approximately 0.1-70.0% by weight;
- and
- water in a range of approximately 0.1-25.0% by weight;
- wherein said konjac fiber, at a 1% (w/w) fully solubilized dispersed solution in water, has a minimum viscosity of 140,000 centipoise (cP);
- and
- wherein said konjac fiber is blended with said one or more nut butters via low-shear mixing before said water is added.
