Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition comprising triglycerides, surfactant, self-assembled structures and vitamin A or provitamin A. Further aspects of the invention are a food product, the use of a composition comprising triglycerides, surfactant and self-assembled structures to stabilize vitamin A or provitamin A and a process for preparing a stabilized vitamin A or provitamin A composition.
Claims12
Composition comprising triglycerides, surfactant, self-assembled structures and vitamin A or provitamin A wherein the self-assembled structures are selected from the group consisting of L2 phase, reversed microemulsion, reversed micellar cubic structure, reversed bicontinuous cubic structure, reversed sponge phase, reversed hexagonal structure, lamellar phase and combinations of these.

11-13. (canceled)
A process for preparing a stabilized vitamin A or provitamin A composition comprising the steps;
- providing triglycerides, surfactant and vitamin A or provitamin A all in a liquid state, and
- mixing the triglycerides, surfactant and vitamin A or provitamin A to form a stabilized composition, wherein the surfactant is present at a level of between 0.1 and 30 wt. % in the triglycerides.
