Food compositions containing vegetable oil and mixture with stabilising properties

A food composition comprising vegetable oil comprising mono-unsaturated and/or poly-unsaturated fatty acids, wherein the concentration of the vegetable oil ranges from 5% to 85% by weight of the composition, further comprising a mixture comprising or consisting of:

• a) one or more monocyclic monoterpenes of formula (I)
• with R1=hydrogen, hydroxy group or carbonyl group, R2=hydrogen, hydroxy group or carbonyl group, R3=0, hydrogen or hydroxy group and R4=isopropyl group, isopropenyl group or isopropylidene group as well as without or with one, two or three double bonds in the cyclic system,
• preferably selected from the group consisting of gamma-terpinene, alpha-terpinene, beta-terpinene, beta-phellandrene, limonene, thymol, pulegone, carvacrol and alpha-phellandrene,
• b) one or more benzoic acid derivatives of formula (II)
• with R1, R2 and R3 independently of each other selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy group and methoxy group,
• c) a first 3-phenylpropenoic acid derivative of formula (IV)
• with R1=1-carboxy-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl, R2=hydrogen and R3=hydrogen, optionally a second 3-phenylpropenoic acid derivative of formula (IV) with R1=5-carboxy-2,3,5-trihydroxycyclohexyl, R2=hydrogen and R3=hydrogen, and
• optionally a third 3-phenylpropenoic acid derivative of formula (IV) with R1=hydrogen, R2=hydrogen and R3=hydrogen,
