Estimating the term…
The invention relates to an oil-continuous composition comprising at least 30 wt. % of a structured continuous oil phase and less than 10 wt. % water, said structured continuous oil phase comprising: 96-99.7 wt. % fat, said fat having a solid fat content at 20° C. (N20) of 0-50% and a liquid oil content at 20° C. that equals 100%−N20; particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material from aubergine parenchymal tissue, said particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material having a particle size of between 25 μm and 500 μm; wherein the particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material is present in the structured continuous oil phase in a concentration of 0.3-8% by weight of the liquid oil. The aforementioned particulate cell wall material is capable of structuring liquid oil at very low concentrations.
An oil-continuous composition comprising at least 30 wt. % of a structured continuous oil phase and less than 10 wt. % water, said structured continuous oil phase comprising:
A process of preparing an oil-continuous composition, said process comprising mixing 100 parts by weight of fat with 0.1-10 parts by weight of particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material from aubergine parenchymal tissue;
(canceled)
A method of preparing particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material having a bulk density of less than 50 g/l, at least 90 wt. % of said particulate anhydrous non-defibrillated cell wall material having a particle size between 25 μm and 500 μm, said method comprising:
