Abstract
The present invention relates to a combustible and edible composition comprising medium-chain triacylglycerols and silica, wherein the composition is in one embodiment a solid shaped body. The invention further relates to the use of a composition or of a solid shaped body as an item of equipment for outdoor activities, camping, sports activities, and/or in a diet.
Claims16
A composition comprising
- a) from 70% to 96% by weight of triacylglycerol of saturated fatty acids comprising an alkyl chain of 6 to 12 carbon atoms,
- b) from 3.0% to 30% by weight of silica, and
- c) optionally from 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener comprising at least one cellulose derivative and/or water,
- d) optionally from 1.0% to 35% by weight of at least one additive other than thickeners,
- in each case based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the ratio of triacylglycerol a) to silica b) is within a range from 1:0.04 to 1:0.4,
- wherein
- the silica is fumed silica or precipitated silica, wherein when the silica is or comprises fumed silica and the composition comprises up to 4.0% by weight thereof, the composition comprises 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener and
- when the silica is or comprises precipitated silica and the composition comprises up to 10% by weight thereof, the composition comprises 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener,
- wherein the composition has a dynamic viscosity at 21° C. in accordance with DIN 53018 of 50 000 to 400 000 mPa·s, measured with a Brookfield viscometer, spindle 5, at 0.5 revolutions per minute, or is solid at room temperature, and a flash point in accordance with EN 22719 of 210° C. to 240° C.
